Frequently asked questions
Does Organics Fresh Lemongrass Balancing Moisturiser contain fragrance allergens?
Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 7 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, linalool, geraniol, eugenol, limonene, citral, benzyl alcohol. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Organics Fresh Lemongrass Balancing Moisturiser with caution and patch test before full use.
Is Organics Fresh Lemongrass Balancing Moisturiser paraben-free?
No parabens were detected in Organics Fresh Lemongrass Balancing Moisturiser'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. Organics Fresh Lemongrass Balancing Moisturiser contains 7 flagged allergens and 1 irritant (listed in the analysis above).
