⚠️ Auto-scored 0: contains EU-banned ingredient(s) — Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone. The product is safe for its intended use as a rinse-off shampoo. It contains standard surfactants (SLS/SLES) which may be drying for sensitive scalps. It uses Piroctone Olamine as the anti-dandruff active, which is a safe and effective substitute for Zinc Pyrithione (now banned in EU). Note the presence of several fragrance allergens and the preservative system (Mi/MCI), which are common but can trigger reactions in individuals with specific contact allergies.
