Frequently asked questions

Does Aqua Creme Gel contain fragrance allergens?

Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 3 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, benzyl alcohol, citronellol. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Aqua Creme Gel with caution and patch test before full use.

Does Aqua Creme Gel contain parabens?

Yes, Aqua Creme Gel's INCI list includes one or more parabens. For most people that's low-risk — parabens have a notably low contact-allergy rate — but if you've patch-tested positive to parabens specifically, choose a paraben-free alternative.

Is Aqua Creme Gel suitable for sensitive or allergy-prone skin?

It depends on your specific triggers. Aqua Creme Gel contains 5 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 Aqua Creme Gel against your own profile.
