Frequently asked questions

Does Med pH 5,5 Hautneutral Creme-Öl-Dusche contain fragrance allergens?

Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 2 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, benzyl alcohol. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Med pH 5,5 Hautneutral Creme-Öl-Dusche with caution and patch test before full use.

Is Med pH 5,5 Hautneutral Creme-Öl-Dusche paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in Med pH 5,5 Hautneutral Creme-Öl-Dusche'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.

It depends on your specific triggers. Med pH 5,5 Hautneutral Creme-Öl-Dusche contains 5 flagged allergens and 1 irritant (listed in the analysis above).
