Why
Fragrance-free means no perfume in the ingredient list. On a label perfume shows up as Parfum or Fragrance, as essential oils, and often as named allergens like Limonene and Linalool that brands have to declare in the EU.
No, Head & Shoulders Oxygenated Charcoal Detox is not fragrance-free. It lists Parfum and 5 fragrance allergens.
Benzyl Alcohol is a preservative that can also carry scent; on its own it does not make a product fragranced.
This is not a safety warning. Perfume suits most people, but if your skin reacts or you are patch testing, this is the line you came for.
