Henkel

About Henkel

Henkel is a German consumer goods and industrial group founded in 1876 and headquartered in Düsseldorf. Its business is organised into Consumer Brands and Adhesive Technologies. Beauty brands in the group include Schwarzkopf, Syoss, Fa and Dial. In INCIMondo, this entry groups products recorded under the company name rather than under one of its brands.

The Henkel entry in figures

This entry collects 139 products recorded under the company name rather than under brands such as Schwarzkopf, Syoss or Fa. They are mainly hair care, shower gels, hair colour and toothpastes. Two of the five most frequent ingredients (water aside) are named fragrance components – LIMONENE and LINALOOL – alongside PARFUM, CITRIC ACID and PROPYLENE GLYCOL.

Fragrance ingredients appear in 124 of the 139 formulas (89%). Parabens are listed in 40 formulas (29%), silicones in 48 (35%) and denatured alcohol (ALCOHOL DENAT.) in 19 (14%).

Hair colour and the Henkel label

Several products here are hair colourants: oxidation dyes must carry specific safety warnings in the EU, and the leaflet explains the allergy test recommended before each use. Because the entry mixes items of different types, compare products by category rather than by company name.
