Scalp + Hair Therapy Clarifying Shampoo

Pregnancy-safeHairFrom United States

Dove Scalp + Hair Therapy Clarifying Shampoo is a hair with 22 ingredients. It has no ingredients Jouaxia flags for pregnancy. Common allergens: fragrance, niacinamide.

Sensitive skin: fragrance, niacinamide Why?
  • fragrance: Fragrance or parfum, and scent ingredients listed by name, such as linalool and limonene. The most common cause of skincare allergies; worth avoiding if you have eczema, rosacea, or very sensitive skin.
  • niacinamide: A popular, well-tolerated ingredient that can cause redness or flushing for a few people, especially at high strengths.

These flags don't affect the pregnancy rating. They point out the ingredients most likely to make skincare sting, itch, or cause a rash. If your skin is sensitive, or one of them has bothered you before, you may want to skip the product or patch-test it first. Most people use them without a problem.

How we flag ingredients

Does Dove Scalp + Hair Therapy Clarifying Shampoo contain fragrance or other common allergens?

Yes. Dove Scalp + Hair Therapy Clarifying Shampoo contains fragrance, niacinamide, which can bother sensitive skin. This doesn't affect its pregnancy rating, and most people use these ingredients without a problem; if your skin is sensitive or you've reacted to one before, patch-test it first or look for an alternative.

Is it OK for kids and teens?

Kids (ages 3–11)

Use with care

  • Exfoliating acid (AHA) (Lactic Acid): Glycolic, lactic, and mandelic acids can irritate young skin, and children rarely need them. We can't see the strength, so low amounts are flagged too.
  • Fragrance or essential oils (Fragrance (Parfum), Hexyl Cinnamal, Limonene, Linalool): Children's skin reacts to fragrance and essential oils more easily; fragrance-free products are the usual advice for kids, especially with eczema or sensitive skin.

Teens (ages 12–17)

Use with care

  • Exfoliating acid (AHA) (Lactic Acid): Glycolic, lactic, and mandelic acids can irritate, especially alongside acne treatments. Fine for some teens, used a few times a week.

Helps with acne: Niacinamide.
