Frequently asked questions
Does Hyaluronic & Japanese Rice Water Toner 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 Hyaluronic & Japanese Rice Water Toner with caution and patch test before full use.
Is Hyaluronic & Japanese Rice Water Toner paraben-free?
No parabens were detected in Hyaluronic & Japanese Rice Water Toner'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 Hyaluronic & Japanese Rice Water Toner suitable for sensitive or allergy-prone skin?
It depends on your specific triggers. Hyaluronic & Japanese Rice Water Toner 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 Hyaluronic & Japanese Rice Water Toner against your own profile.
