Frequently asked questions

Does Bright Complete Vitamin C Water Gel Moisturizer contain fragrance allergens?

Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 4 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, linalool, geraniol, limonene. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Bright Complete Vitamin C Water Gel Moisturizer with caution and patch test before full use.

Is Bright Complete Vitamin C Water Gel Moisturizer paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in Bright Complete Vitamin C Water Gel Moisturizer'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.

It depends on your specific triggers. Bright Complete Vitamin C Water Gel Moisturizer contains 4 flagged allergens and 2 irritants (listed in the analysis above).
