4 years agoQ: I noticed the ingredients on this website lists that it contains parabens, but when I went to the store and looked at the ingredients list it did not contain parabens. Which is accurate? Why is it listed differently on the tube at the store?
4 years ago- A: Hi Sunflower7, Garnier Curl Sculpting Gel does contain Parabens which acts as a preservative and are derived from an acid which naturally occurs in many fruits and vegetables. Safe ranges for the use of parabens in cosmetics have been established around the world, and without them, Garnier products could spoil and become harmful to you. We are continuously working to develop innovative formulas that are less vulnerable to microbial contamination, while also limiting the use of parabens, always keeping your safety a top priority, and ensuring Garnier maintains its superior quality delivered to you.4 years agoHelpful?
