Frequently asked questions
Does Waschcreme Gentle Washing Cream contain fragrance allergens?
Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 7 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, benzyl alcohol, citronellol, geraniol, limonene, linalool, alpha-isomethyl ionone. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Waschcreme Gentle Washing Cream with caution and patch test before full use.
Is Waschcreme Gentle Washing Cream paraben-free?
No parabens were detected in Waschcreme Gentle Washing Cream'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 Waschcreme Gentle Washing Cream suitable for sensitive or allergy-prone skin?
It depends on your specific triggers. Waschcreme Gentle Washing Cream contains 8 flagged allergens and 2 irritants (listed in the analysis above). If none are on your personal allergen list it may suit you, but patch test first — add your allergens to AllerNote to check Waschcreme Gentle Washing Cream against your own profile.
