Frequently asked questions

Does Mattifying Green Tea Moisturizer contain fragrance allergens?

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

Is Mattifying Green Tea Moisturizer paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in Mattifying Green Tea 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.

Is Mattifying Green Tea Moisturizer suitable for sensitive or allergy-prone skin?

It depends on your specific triggers. Mattifying Green Tea Moisturizer contains 6 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 Mattifying Green Tea Moisturizer against your own profile.
