Frequently asked questions
Is Hydrating Foaming Oil Cleanser fragrance-free?

Is Hydrating Foaming Oil Cleanser paraben-free?
No parabens were detected in Hydrating Foaming Oil Cleanser'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.
