Frequently asked questions

Does Express Aclara contain fragrance allergens?

Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 9 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, linalool, geraniol, limonene, citronellol, hydroxycitronellal, hexyl cinnamal, benzyl alcohol, benzyl salicylate. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Express Aclara with caution and patch test before full use.

Is Express Aclara paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in Express Aclara'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 Express Aclara suitable for sensitive or allergy-prone skin?

It depends on your specific triggers. Express Aclara contains 13 flagged allergens and 1 irritant (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 Express Aclara against your own profile.
