Frequently asked questions
Is Cicalfate+ Purifying Cleansing Gel fragrance-free?
No added fragrance or EU-labelled fragrance allergens were detected in Cicalfate+ Purifying Cleansing Gel's listed ingredients. "Not detected" isn't an absolute guarantee, but it's a good sign for fragrance-sensitive skin — confirm against the current pack and your own triggers.
Is Cicalfate+ Purifying Cleansing Gel paraben-free?
No parabens were detected in Cicalfate+ Purifying Cleansing Gel's listed ingredients. Worth keeping in perspective: parabens are among the least common cosmetic allergens, so "paraben-free" matters far less for reactive skin than avoiding fragrance or the preservative MI/MCI.
Is Cicalfate+ Purifying Cleansing Gel suitable for sensitive or allergy-prone skin?
It depends on your specific triggers. Cicalfate+ Purifying Cleansing Gel contains 1 flagged allergen and 0 irritants (listed in the analysis above).
