Frequently asked questions
Does AHA BHA Pineapple Glow Foaming Face Wash contain fragrance allergens?
Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 1 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: benzyl alcohol. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat AHA BHA Pineapple Glow Foaming Face Wash with caution and patch test before full use.
Is AHA BHA Pineapple Glow Foaming Face Wash paraben-free?
No parabens were detected in AHA BHA Pineapple Glow Foaming Face Wash'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 AHA BHA Pineapple Glow Foaming Face Wash suitable for sensitive or allergy-prone skin?
It depends on your specific triggers. AHA BHA Pineapple Glow Foaming Face Wash contains 2 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 AHA BHA Pineapple Glow Foaming Face Wash against your own profile.
