Question
Is it permissible on Pesach, lechatchila, to use a shampoo that contains wheat germ (out of concern for chametz)? And is it known whether such a shampoo actually contains real wheat, or only an extract/fragrance?
Answer
Shalom u-verachah
Like other bathing products, according to the letter of the law it is permitted on Pesach to use a shampoo that contains wheat germ oil, though there are those who are stringent.
The oil is extracted from the wheat itself [and does not contain only its fragrance].
