Frequently asked questions

Does Daily Moisture Healthy Start Newborn Balm contain fragrance allergens?

Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 1 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: benzyl alcohol. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Daily Moisture Healthy Start Newborn Balm with caution and patch test before full use.

Is Daily Moisture Healthy Start Newborn Balm paraben-free?
