Does Bouclème Curl Cream contain parabens, sulfates or fragrance?

A straight yes or no for the ingredient groups people most often want to avoid, checked against this product's published formulation.

  • Free from parabens

    Preservatives; the longer-chain ones (propyl, butyl) carry the endocrine questions.

  • Free from sulfates (sls / sles)

    Strong cleansing agents that can strip a compromised barrier.

  • Free from silicones

    Slip and occlusion; cyclic silicones (D4/D5/D6) are the environmentally restricted ones.

  • Free from fragrance / parfum

    Undisclosed fragrance blends are the most common trigger for sensitised skin.

  • Contains essential oils

    Found: citrus aurantium dulcis peel oil, limonene, linalool. Naturally derived, but among the most frequently reported contact allergens.

  • Free from drying alcohol

    Fine in small amounts for texture; high up the list it can dehydrate.

  • Free from formaldehyde releasers

    Preservatives that slowly release formaldehyde.

  • Free from chemical uv filters of concern

    Restricted or debated filters with endocrine or reef-persistence questions.

Is Bouclème Curl Cream non-comedogenic?

This formulation contains 2 ingredients commonly associated with clogged pores — cetearyl alcohol, cocos nucifera (virgin coconut) oil. That does not make it unsuitable for everyone: comedogenicity depends on concentration, the rest of the formula and your own skin. If you are acne-prone, patch test or choose one of the alternatives below.

Is Bouclème Curl Cream safe for sensitive skin?

Usually tolerated, but patch test if your skin reacts easily.
