Does Vitamin C 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 Vitamin C Foaming Face Wash with caution and patch test before full use.

Is Vitamin C Foaming Face Wash paraben-free?
