Does Oribe Serene Scalp Oil Control 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: parfum/fragrance. Undisclosed fragrance blends are the most common trigger for sensitised skin.
Contains essential oils
Found: limonene. Naturally derived, but among the most frequently reported contact allergens.
Contains drying alcohol
Found: phenoxyethanol. 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 Oribe Serene Scalp Oil Control 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 Oribe Serene Scalp Oil Control 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
Ingredients worth knowing about: Parfum/Fragrance.
Can you use Oribe Serene Scalp Oil Control Shampoo while pregnant?
This product contains salicylic acid, which is usually on the list of ingredients people are advised to pause during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Selenssa is not medical advice — check with your midwife, GP or dermatologist before using it.
