Does Hydrance Aqua-Gel contain fragrance allergens?
Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 1 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Hydrance Aqua-Gel with caution and patch test before full use.
Is Hydrance Aqua-Gel paraben-free?
