Frequently asked questions
Does Q10 Intense Day contain fragrance allergens?
Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 4 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, citronellol, benzyl alcohol, alpha-isomethyl ionone. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Q10 Intense Day with caution and patch test before full use.
Is Q10 Intense Day paraben-free?
No parabens were detected in Q10 Intense Day'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 Q10 Intense Day suitable for sensitive or allergy-prone skin?
It depends on your specific triggers. Q10 Intense Day contains 6 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 Q10 Intense Day against your own profile.
