Frequently asked questions

Does Vitamin C + E Super Bright Eye Cream SPF 30 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 Vitamin C + E Super Bright Eye Cream SPF 30 with caution and patch test before full use.

Is Vitamin C + E Super Bright Eye Cream SPF 30 paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in Vitamin C + E Super Bright Eye Cream SPF 30'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.

It depends on your specific triggers. Vitamin C + E Super Bright Eye Cream SPF 30 contains 5 flagged allergens and 1 irritant (listed in the analysis above).
