Frequently asked questions
Does Water Drench Hydrating Hyaluronic Serum Concentrate 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 Water Drench Hydrating Hyaluronic Serum Concentrate with caution and patch test before full use.
Is Water Drench Hydrating Hyaluronic Serum Concentrate paraben-free?
No parabens were detected in Water Drench Hydrating Hyaluronic Serum Concentrate'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.
