Frequently asked questions

Is Makeup Removing Cleanser Balm fragrance-free?

Is Makeup Removing Cleanser Balm paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in Makeup Removing Cleanser Balm'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.
