Frequently asked questions
Is Skin Recovery Amino Acid Foaming Cleanser fragrance-free?
No added fragrance or EU-labelled fragrance allergens were detected in Skin Recovery Amino Acid Foaming Cleanser's listed ingredients. "Not detected" isn't an absolute guarantee, but it's a good sign for fragrance-sensitive skin — confirm against the current pack and your own triggers.
Is Skin Recovery Amino Acid Foaming Cleanser paraben-free?
No parabens were detected in Skin Recovery Amino Acid Foaming Cleanser'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 Skin Recovery Amino Acid Foaming Cleanser suitable for sensitive or allergy-prone skin?
It depends on your specific triggers. Skin Recovery Amino Acid Foaming Cleanser contains 1 flagged allergen and 0 irritants (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 Skin Recovery Amino Acid Foaming Cleanser against your own profile.
