Frequently asked questions
Does Exfoliating Body Wash With Lactic Acid contain fragrance allergens?
Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 1 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Exfoliating Body Wash With Lactic Acid with caution and patch test before full use.
Is Exfoliating Body Wash With Lactic Acid paraben-free?

It depends on your specific triggers. Exfoliating Body Wash With Lactic Acid contains 3 flagged allergens and 1 irritant (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 Exfoliating Body Wash With Lactic Acid against your own profile.
