Frequently asked questions

Does AHA+BHA Charcoal Daily Mattifying Air Cream​ contain fragrance allergens?

Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 1 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat AHA+BHA Charcoal Daily Mattifying Air Cream​ with caution and patch test before full use.

Is AHA+BHA Charcoal Daily Mattifying Air Cream​ paraben-free?
