Lately, I’ve been getting a lot of requests for clean and natural hair care products without fragrance and essential oils. Turns out many of you have allergies and need entirely fragrance-free products (take note please if you’re a brand!). There’s definitely not a super wide selection to choose from if you’re looking for not only fragrance-free but also essential oil-free hair care products, since most companies are looking to get customers hooked on their intoxicating scents. But there’s actually a growing number of products that cater to people who have sensitive scalps, allergies, eczema, bacne and those of you who just prefer unscented products.
Necessaire Haircare
Necessaire’s hypoallergenic, fragrance-free hair products contain zero fragrance and was even awarded the Seal Of Acceptance By The National Eczema Association. The shampoo is a clinical Hyaluronic Acid formula made to moisturize the scalp and hair, remove product build-up and reduce breakage.
