Does L'Oréal Paris Elvive Glycolic Gloss Core Shampoo 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.

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

Found: parfum / fragrance. Undisclosed fragrance blends are the most common trigger for sensitised skin.
Contains essential oils
Found: limonene, linalool. Naturally derived, but among the most frequently reported contact allergens.

Free from chemical uv filters of concern
Restricted or debated filters with endocrine or reef-persistence questions.
