Allergen Disclosure Policy
Allergen Disclosure Policy
A complete, transparent disclosure of known and potential allergens present in our wigs, hair care products, adhesives, fibers, and styling items — specific to our catalog and compliant with US and Canadian law.
What This Policy Covers
At Your Hair And Wig, we sell a wide range of products including human hair wigs, lace front wigs, synthetic fiber wigs, hair extensions, weaves, hair care formulations (shampoos, conditioners, hair masks, hair oils, hair growth oils, leave-in conditioners, styling gels, mousses, sprays, waxes, and creams), eyelash clusters, head scarves, and hair accessories. Many of these products contain or may have been processed with substances that are known allergens or sensitizers for certain individuals.
This Allergen Disclosure Policy exists to give every customer in the United States and Canada the information they need to make an informed purchase decision. We do not hide allergen information behind legal disclaimers or bury it in fine print. Every product category sold on yourhairandwig.com is addressed in this policy.
This policy is informed by the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act of 2022 (MoCRA), the FDA Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), the FTC Textile Fiber Products Identification Act, Health Canada's Cosmetic Regulations (SOR/2016-121), and the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act (CCPSA). If you have a known allergy, sensitivity, or skin condition, we strongly encourage you to read this policy in full and to contact us at info@yourhairandwig.com before placing an order.

Medical Disclaimer
Nothing in this Allergen Disclosure Policy constitutes medical advice. If you have been diagnosed with a contact allergy, dermatitis, or sensitivity to any ingredient or material class, consult your licensed healthcare provider or allergist before using any product. This policy is informational only.
Allergens by Product Category
The following categories represent the complete range of items available at Your Hair And Wig. Each category identifies known and potential allergens, processing chemicals, and materials that may cause reactions in sensitive individuals.
Human Hair Wigs, Lace Fronts & Weaves
Human hair wigs and lace front wigs sold on our site are sourced from third-party suppliers and may have been treated during processing with chemical relaxers, keratin straightening agents, silicone coating compounds, or color dyes. These processing chemicals can remain on the hair fiber and may cause contact dermatitis or scalp irritation in sensitive individuals. The lace base of lace front wigs is typically constructed from Swiss lace or HD lace, which contain synthetic polymers. Some individuals with skin sensitivities to polymer-coated lace materials or residual chemical treatments may experience irritation at the scalp hairline. We recommend performing a patch test on a small area of your scalp or neck before full application.
Synthetic Fiber Wigs & Extensions
Synthetic wigs and extensions in our catalog are manufactured using synthetic polymer fibers, most commonly Kanekalon fiber, modacrylic fiber, or heat-resistant fiber blends. These materials are generally considered hypoallergenic for most users; however, trace residues from the fiber production process — including lubricant coatings, anti-static treatments, and fiber-bonding agents — may cause reactions in individuals with sensitivities to acrylate polymers or related compounds. Some synthetic fiber wigs are also pre-styled using heat and may contain residues from heat-styling aids applied during manufacturing. Individuals with known sensitivities to synthetic polymer materials should review product-level descriptions or contact us before purchase.
Shampoos & Conditioners
Shampoos and conditioners in our hair products collection contain surfactants, conditioning agents, fragrance compounds, and preservatives. Common allergens in these formulations include fragrance mix (a compound allergen recognized under EU and IFRA standards), methylisothiazolinone (MI), methylchloroisothiazolinone (MCI/MI), sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) — a known irritant — parabens such as methylparaben and propylparaben, and protein hydrolysates derived from wheat, soy, or silk that may trigger reactions in individuals with corresponding food or topical protein allergies. All cosmetic products in our catalog carry full ingredient lists as required under 21 C.F.R. § 701.3 (US) and Section 21 of the Cosmetic Regulations SOR/2016-121 (Canada). We encourage customers to read the full ingredient list (INCI format) on each product page before purchasing.
Hair Oils, Serums & Hair Growth Oils
Our catalog includes natural and organic hair oils such as coconut oil, batana oil, argan oil, castor oil, and blended scalp treatment oils. Natural plant-derived oils are among the most common sources of contact allergy in personal care products. Individuals with known sensitivities to tree nuts, seed oils, or specific botanical families should exercise caution. Coconut oil (Cocos nucifera) may cause reactions in individuals with coconut allergies. Batana oil (derived from the American palm Elaeis oleifera) is a lesser-known botanical oil; individuals with palm oil or tree nut sensitivities should consult an allergist before use. Products marketed with hair growth benefits in our catalog are sold as cosmetics and do not contain FDA-approved drug actives. Fragrance compounds and essential oils (such as peppermint, rosemary, or tea tree) added to some formulations may also cause scalp irritation or contact sensitization in susceptible individuals.
Styling Products: Gels, Mousses, Waxes, Sprays & Creams
Hair styling products in our catalog include gels, mousses, clays, edge controls, heat protectant sprays, hair wax, styling paste, and volumizing products. These formulations typically contain hold polymers (such as PVP/VA copolymers or acrylates), alcohol (including ethanol and cetyl alcohol, which are distinct — the latter being a fatty alcohol and a known sensitizer in some individuals), fragrance compounds, and preservatives. Aerosol spray products — including hair sprays and heat protectants — may contain propellants and airborne particulates. Individuals with respiratory sensitivities, occupational asthma, or fragrance contact allergy should use aerosol products in well-ventilated areas. Customers with known sensitivity to formaldehyde-releasing preservatives (such as DMDM hydantoin, diazolidinyl urea, or imidazolidinyl urea, which are common in gels and edge controls) should check product ingredient lists before use, as these compounds release trace formaldehyde over time at room temperature.
Hair Masks & Deep Conditioning Treatments
Hair masks in our catalog — including coconut oil hair masks and batana oil scalp treatment masks — contain emollient agents, botanical extracts, and conditioning actives. Protein-based hair masks may contain hydrolyzed proteins derived from wheat, keratin (human or animal-derived), silk, or soy. Individuals with known wheat or gluten sensitivity (including those with celiac disease) should note that topical exposure to wheat-derived proteins can, in some individuals, trigger localized contact reactions. Soy-derived ingredients are similarly a recognized contact allergen for certain individuals. All hair mask products list their full ingredient composition in INCI nomenclature on the product page. We encourage sensitive customers to cross-reference those ingredients with their known sensitivities before purchase.
Eyelash Extensions & Lash Cluster Products
Our catalog includes cluster lash products designed for individual application to the natural lash line. Although lash adhesives are not sold as a bundled component on our main product pages, lash extension products may be used by customers in conjunction with lash glue products sourced separately. Lash adhesives commonly contain cyanoacrylate compounds — the primary cause of contact allergy and eyelid dermatitis associated with eyelash extension products, as recognized by dermatological literature and the American Contact Dermatitis Society (ACDS). If you experience redness, swelling, or persistent tearing after lash application, discontinue use immediately and consult a healthcare provider. Individuals with known cyanoacrylate or formaldehyde sensitivity should avoid using adhesive-requiring lash products.
Head Scarves, Headbands & Hair Accessories
Head scarves, solid-color headscarves, headbands, and fabric hair accessories in our catalog are constructed from materials including polyester, cotton, silk blends, and elastic compounds. The elastic in headbands and hair ties contains rubber or synthetic rubber compounds; individuals with a known latex allergy or rubber chemical sensitivity (particularly to mercaptobenzothiazole or thiuram compounds used in rubber vulcanization) should review the materials listed for these items before purchase. Fabric dyes used in colored accessories — including reactive dyes and disperse dyes (common in polyester) — are recognized contact sensitizers. Disperse dyes in particular are among the more frequently identified causes of textile contact dermatitis. We disclose fiber composition for all fabric accessories in compliance with the Textile Fiber Products Identification Act (15 U.S.C. § 70 et seq.) and Canada's Textile Labelling Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. T-10).
Elastic Hair Bands & Ponytail Holders
Elastic hair bands and ponytail holders sold in our accessories collection contain rubber polymer compounds and, in colored variants, synthetic dyes. The elastic core material may include natural rubber latex or synthetic alternatives such as spandex (polyurethane). Individuals with a Type I hypersensitivity to natural rubber latex should select latex-free synthetic alternatives where available and confirm material composition with our customer support team before purchasing. Hair tie products coated with fabric or silicone are generally considered lower-risk for latex sensitization than uncoated rubber bands, but dye-related reactions from the outer fabric coating remain possible. All products in this category are compliant with CPSC safety standards under 16 C.F.R. and Health Canada's Consumer Product Safety Act requirements.

Note on "Natural" or "Organic" Claims: The presence of the word "natural," "organic," or "plant-derived" in a product name or description does not mean the product is free of allergens. Many of the most potent contact allergens in cosmetic products — including fragrance compounds, essential oils, and botanical extracts — are entirely natural in origin. Customers with contact allergies should always review the full INCI ingredient list, regardless of how a product is described.
US & Canadian Allergen Labeling Requirements
Your Hair And Wig ships exclusively to the United States and Canada. Our allergen disclosure practices comply with the distinct regulatory frameworks of both jurisdictions, which differ in material ways.
Federal and State Requirements
- 21 C.F.R. § 701.3: All cosmetic products must list ingredients in descending order of predominance using INCI nomenclature on the product label or, for on-screen retail, on the product information page.
- MoCRA (21 U.S.C. § 364i): Effective December 29, 2023, manufacturers must report serious adverse events — including allergic reactions — to the FDA within 15 days of receiving the report. Responsible persons for cosmetics listed in our catalog are subject to this obligation.
- California Safe Cosmetics Act (H&SC §§ 111791–111793): Manufacturers selling cosmetics in California must report any ingredient linked to cancer, developmental toxicity, or reproductive toxicity to the California Safe Cosmetics Program (CSCP). We do not list products from manufacturers who are non-compliant with CSCP reporting.
- California Proposition 65: We ship to California. Where applicable, products containing Prop 65-listed chemicals at actionable concentrations carry the required consumer warning: "WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including [name], which is known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm."
- FTC Textile Fiber Products Identification Act (15 U.S.C. § 70 et seq.): All fabric accessories, headscarves, and headbands in our catalog include fiber content disclosure and country of origin as required by federal law.
Federal Requirements under Health Canada
- Cosmetic Regulations SOR/2016-121, Section 21: All cosmetic products distributed in Canada must list ingredients in descending order of predominance on the label. Ingredients present at 1% or less may be listed in any order after those above 1%. Bilingual labeling (English and French) is required on all Canadian product labels.
- Health Canada Cosmetic Ingredient Hotlist: This is the authoritative list of substances prohibited or restricted in cosmetics sold in Canada. Any ingredient on the Hotlist that exceeds its permitted concentration renders a product non-compliant for Canadian sale. We verify supplier compliance with the Hotlist for all products we ship to Canadian addresses.
- Food and Drugs Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. F-27): Cosmetics sold in Canada are regulated under this Act. Products making drug-level therapeutic claims — such as treating scalp disease — require a Drug Identification Number (DIN) and are not sold in our catalog without this documentation.
- Canada Consumer Product Safety Act (CCPSA, S.C. 2010, c. 21): Consumer products — including hair accessories, elastic bands, and non-cosmetic items — must not pose an unreasonable danger to the health or safety of the consumer. We comply with CCPSA requirements for all non-cosmetic items in our catalog.
- Textile Labelling Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. T-10): All textile articles sold in Canada, including head scarves and fabric accessories, must disclose fiber content and carry bilingual labeling in English and French.
Fragrance Allergen Transparency
Fragrance is the single most common cause of contact allergy among personal care product users, according to data published by the North American Contact Dermatitis Group (NACDG) and the American Contact Dermatitis Society (ACDS). In our catalog, fragrance compounds are present in a significant proportion of shampoos, conditioners, hair oils, styling products, and hair care treatments.
Under MoCRA (Section 2252, enacted December 29, 2022 and effective for most manufacturers as of December 29, 2023), fragrance allergens present in cosmetic products above specified thresholds must be disclosed on the label individually, rather than being grouped under the single umbrella term "fragrance" or "parfum." This requirement, which aligns US practice more closely with the EU Cosmetic Regulation (EC 1223/2009 Annex III), means that products manufactured for the US market after the MoCRA compliance dates must disclose individual fragrance allergens such as linalool, limonene, citronellol, geraniol, and benzyl alcohol where they exceed the regulatory threshold.
For products in our catalog that were formulated prior to full MoCRA fragrance transparency compliance dates, the label may still list "fragrance" or "parfum" as a collective term. In these cases, we encourage customers with known fragrance allergy to contact us at info@yourhairandwig.com to request the safety data sheet (SDS) or supplier formulation documentation where available, before purchasing.
Most Commonly Occurring in Our Product Types
- Linalool — found in lavender-scented and floral hair products; oxidizes to form sensitizing linalool peroxides
- Limonene — citrus-scented products; similarly oxidizes with air exposure
- Hydroxyisohexyl 3-cyclohexene carboxaldehyde (HICC / Lyral) — restricted under EU Regulation; check label for individual disclosure
- Eugenol — clove oil derivative, found in some botanical hair treatments
- Benzyl alcohol — used as both fragrance and preservative; may be listed separately on labels
Fragrance-Free vs. Unscented Products
A product labeled "unscented" may still contain fragrance compounds used to mask the scent of other ingredients. A product labeled "fragrance-free" should contain no added fragrance compounds, though naturally occurring aromatic substances in botanical ingredients (such as essential oils in plant extracts) may still be present. Customers with fragrance allergy should look specifically for products labeled "fragrance-free" and confirm the full ingredient list does not include any fragrance compounds under either their trade name or INCI designation.
How to Perform a Patch Test
We strongly recommend performing a patch test before applying any new hair care product, scalp treatment, or adhesive to a large area of skin or scalp. This applies to all customers, particularly those with a history of sensitive skin, eczema, psoriasis, or known contact allergies.
Apply a Small Amount
Apply a pea-sized amount of the product to a small area of skin — typically the inner forearm or the area just behind one ear. Use the product exactly as directed on the packaging. Do not cover the area with a bandage or dressing unless your healthcare provider has specifically recommended occlusion testing.
Wait 48 to 72 Hours
Leave the product on the test area and avoid washing it off for the duration of the patch period. Observe the area at 24 hours and again at 48 to 72 hours. A delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction (Type IV) — the most common form of contact allergy — may not appear until 48 to 96 hours after exposure, so do not interpret the absence of a reaction at 24 hours as final clearance.
Assess and Act
If you observe redness, itching, swelling, blistering, or any skin change at the test site within 72 hours, do not use the product. Wash the area gently with mild soap and water. If symptoms are significant or persistent, consult a licensed dermatologist or physician. If no reaction appears after 72 hours, the product is likely tolerated, but this does not absolutely guarantee safety in all individuals or at all sites of the body.
When to Seek Immediate Medical Attention
Certain allergic reactions require immediate medical attention rather than home management. Seek emergency care or call 911 (US) / 911 or 112 (Canada) immediately if you experience: difficulty breathing, swelling of the throat or tongue, dizziness or fainting, rapid heartbeat, or widespread hives after using any product. These symptoms may indicate anaphylaxis, a life-threatening systemic allergic reaction. Anaphylaxis to topically applied cosmetic products is rare but documented, particularly in association with certain protein-containing formulations or chemical sensitizers.
Reporting an Allergic Reaction or Adverse Event
Under the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act of 2022 (MoCRA, 21 U.S.C. § 364i), the responsible person for a cosmetic product — typically the manufacturer or domestic distributor — is required to submit a report to the FDA within 15 business days of receiving information regarding a serious adverse event associated with the use of a cosmetic product in the United States.
A "serious adverse event" under MoCRA is defined as an adverse event that results in: (a) death; (b) a life-threatening experience; (c) inpatient hospitalization; (d) a persistent or significant disability or incapacity; (e) a congenital anomaly or birth defect; (f) infection; or (g) significant disfigurement — including serious and persistent rashes, permanent alopecia, or burns. This definition also includes events requiring medical or surgical intervention to prevent the outcomes above.
If you experience a serious adverse event that you believe is related to a product purchased from Your Hair And Wig, we request that you notify us immediately at info@yourhairandwig.com or by calling us at +1 561-810-0428 so that we can fulfill our regulatory obligation to report to the FDA and cooperate with any Health Canada reporting requirements for Canadian customers. We will also assist you in filing a direct consumer report with the FDA.
How to File a Report with Regulators Directly
- FDA MedWatch (US): Visit fda.gov/safety/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088 to file a voluntary safety report about a cosmetic adverse event.
- Health Canada (Canada): Visit canada.ca/consumer-product-safety or call 1-866-662-0666 to report a consumer product safety incident or cosmetic adverse reaction.
- CPSC SaferProducts.gov (US): For non-cosmetic products such as accessories or elastic bands, report safety incidents at SaferProducts.gov.
- Contact Us Directly: Email info@yourhairandwig.com or call +1 561-810-0428 during business hours and we will assist you with reporting and product documentation.
Non-Serious Reactions
For non-serious reactions such as mild scalp itching, temporary redness, or minor irritation, we still encourage you to contact us so that we can note the report internally and communicate it to the supplier. Patterns of non-serious reactions across multiple customers may indicate a product formulation issue that requires attention even if individual reactions do not meet the MoCRA threshold for mandatory reporting.
Supplier Verification & Labeling Compliance
Allergen disclosure is only as reliable as the supply chain behind the products being sold. The following outlines the specific steps Your Hair And Wig takes to verify that cosmetic and non-cosmetic products in our catalog are accurately labeled and compliant with US and Canadian allergen disclosure requirements.
Ingredient List Verification
For every cosmetic product listed in our catalog, we require suppliers to provide a complete INCI ingredient list. We do not publish a product page for any cosmetic product that cannot provide full ingredient disclosure. Where a supplier's ingredient list is incomplete or uses trade names instead of INCI nomenclature, we request clarification before listing. This requirement applies equally to all products we offer, regardless of whether the product is marketed as "natural," "organic," or "clean."
We do not accept the phrase "proprietary blend" as a substitute for ingredient disclosure on any product in our cosmetics category, as this is inconsistent with the requirements of 21 C.F.R. § 701.3 and Section 21 of Health Canada's Cosmetic Regulations.
MoCRA Facility & Product Registration Review
Effective December 29, 2023, cosmetic product facilities and products distributed in the US must be registered and listed with the FDA under MoCRA. For cosmetic products in our catalog manufactured in the US or imported from international manufacturers, we request confirmation of MoCRA compliance — including FDA facility registration and cosmetic product listing — before publishing the product listing on our website. Products from manufacturers who cannot confirm MoCRA compliance status are placed on hold pending verification and are not made available for purchase.
Health Canada Hotlist Screening
For products shipped to Canadian addresses, we cross-reference the ingredient list of each cosmetic product against Health Canada's Cosmetic Ingredient Hotlist — the definitive list of substances prohibited or restricted in cosmetics in Canada. This screening is conducted at the time of listing and is repeated when Health Canada publishes updates to the Hotlist. Products that fail Hotlist screening are not made available to Canadian customers, even if they are available for US customers.
Ongoing Catalog Review & Policy Updates
Allergen science evolves continuously, and regulatory lists of restricted substances are updated regularly by the FDA, Health Canada, CPSC, and the California Safe Cosmetics Program. We review this policy at minimum annually and update it whenever a material change in applicable law or our product catalog requires revision. Customers are advised to check this page periodically. The "Last Updated" date at the bottom of this page reflects the most recent revision. If a significant change affects a product you have previously purchased, we will make reasonable efforts to notify customers through our email list.
Recommendations for Customers with Allergies or Sensitivities
If you have a diagnosed contact allergy, atopic dermatitis, scalp condition, or known sensitivity to any ingredient category discussed in this policy, the following steps will help you shop more safely at Your Hair And Wig.
- Read the full INCI ingredient list on every product page before adding an item to your cart. Every cosmetic product page on our site includes this information.
- Use our Live Chat (available during business hours) or email us at info@yourhairandwig.com to ask about specific ingredients in products before you purchase. We will do our best to obtain additional formulation information from the supplier.
- Always perform a patch test before applying a new hair product to a large skin or scalp area. Follow the three-step patch test protocol described earlier in this policy.
- For human hair wigs, be aware that chemical processing agents used during manufacturing may not be fully disclosed on the product label because wigs are classified as textile or personal care products, not cosmetics. The applied treatments are part of the manufacturing process, not the finished product formulation. If you have a known sensitivity to keratin treatment chemicals, chemical relaxers, or hair dye ingredients, choose wigs explicitly described as "untreated" or "unprocessed" and contact us to confirm supplier documentation.
- Consult your allergist or dermatologist if you are uncertain whether a particular ingredient or product type is safe for your specific allergy profile. This policy provides general information; it is not a substitute for professional medical advice tailored to your individual health history.
Our Refund Position on Allergic Reactions
We understand that allergic reactions can occur even with careful precautions, and we take reports of reactions seriously. If you believe you have experienced an allergic reaction to a product purchased from our store:
- Stop using the product immediately and wash the affected area thoroughly.
- Contact us at info@yourhairandwig.com with your order number and a description of the reaction.
- We will review each case individually in accordance with our Refund Policy and work to reach a fair resolution.
Limitation of Our Disclosure
Your Hair And Wig is an online retailer. We do not manufacture any of the products we sell. We rely on supplier-provided ingredient information and conduct verification against applicable regulatory standards. While we take every reasonable step to ensure accurate allergen disclosure, we cannot guarantee that supplier-provided ingredient lists are free from error, omission, or reformulation without notice. We update our listings when suppliers notify us of formulation changes, but we cannot guarantee real-time accuracy in all cases. If product safety is your primary concern, we encourage direct contact with the product manufacturer for the most current formulation data.
