Living Proof PhD Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo provides strong oil absorption and hair refreshing performance. It is suitable for routine dry styling, but sensitive scalps should be mindful of alcohol denat and fragrance allergens.

Be cautious if

Individuals with sensitive, dry, or easily inflamed scalps, or those seeking fluoropolymer-free formulas.

Against your clean standard

Conditionally — functionally safe for human health, but reduced transparency on fragrance and environmental persistence of fluorinated ingredients prevent a top clean score.

Does Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Advanced Clean Dry 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.

  • 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.

  • Contains fragrance / parfum

    Found: fragrance/parfum. 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.

  • Contains drying alcohol

    Found: alcohol denat.. 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 Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo non-comedogenic?

No ingredients in this formulation appear on Selenssa's common pore-clogger list, so it is unlikely to be the cause of congestion for most people. Comedogenicity is still individual — texture, occlusion and how much you use all play a part.

Is Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo safe for sensitive skin?

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

  • Contains fragrance or parfum
  • Contains essential oils or common fragrance allergens
  • Contains a drying alcohol
