Formula choices in context
“Ingredients we avoid” describes what Happy Cappy leaves out. It is not a list of ingredients that everyone must avoid. A free-from claim does not describe every feature of a finished product, and paraben-free does not mean preservative-free.
Read the full ingredient list and follow any specific avoidance advice for a known allergy. FDA recommends checking the ingredient panel rather than relying on front-label terms alone.1
For dyes and phthalates, start with the shampoo-ingredients guide. The dedicated articles above provide depth where there is a separate ingredient topic.
