Does Balancing 3-in-1 Face Moisturizer with Green Tea contain fragrance allergens?

Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 6 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, linalool, limonene, benzyl alcohol, geraniol, benzyl salicylate. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Balancing 3-in-1 Face Moisturizer with Green Tea with caution and patch test before full use.

Is Balancing 3-in-1 Face Moisturizer with Green Tea paraben-free?

It depends on your specific triggers. Balancing 3-in-1 Face Moisturizer with Green Tea contains 6 flagged allergens and 2 irritants (listed in the analysis above).
