Frequently asked questions
Does Q10 Handcreme LSF 15 contain fragrance allergens?
Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 5 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, linalool, geraniol, citronellol, benzyl alcohol. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Q10 Handcreme LSF 15 with caution and patch test before full use.
Is Q10 Handcreme LSF 15 paraben-free?

It depends on your specific triggers. Q10 Handcreme LSF 15 contains 7 flagged allergens and 3 irritants (listed in the analysis above).
