Does OGX Renewing + Argan Oil of Morocco Extra Penetrating Oil 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.

Preservatives; the longer-chain ones (propyl, butyl) carry the endocrine questions.
Free from sulfates (sls / sles)

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

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