Is it dangerous for me?!

I have a banana intolerance, basically when I eat them, my stomach ache and earlier today I bought a body wash, shampoo and conditioner lotion (3 in 1) and it’s strawberry-BANANA scented, would it be dangerous/like causing a skin problem if I use it knowing I have a intolerance to banana?!

Try on a very small inconspicuous area of your skin and see if there's any reaction after a few hours.

No one can answer this. You could do a test by putting the liquid on a small area of skin and washing off. If you have a reaction this would be likely within 24 hours, if no reaction it will probably be five. If you react take an antihistamine and bin your shower gel. It may be absolutely fine as you are not eating/drinking it
