I think there's a mistake in the SkinSafe rating since this shampoo is clearly labeled fragrance-free. I’ve been using this shampoo daily for about 2.5 months due to an oily scalp. I have super hard water- lather ranges from light to moderate depending on how much product I use. As my first fragrance-free shampoo after patch testing, it’s been fine — no major issues — but it hasn’t been a standout for me. I’m interested in trying other fragrance-free options to compare.
Hang tight. We're thinking.
