Frequently asked questions

Does Pure Active Matte Control Anti Blemish Face Moisturiser contain fragrance allergens?

Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 7 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, benzyl alcohol, citral, geraniol, limonene, linalool, benzyl salicylate. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Pure Active Matte Control Anti Blemish Face Moisturiser with caution and patch test before full use.

Is Pure Active Matte Control Anti Blemish Face Moisturiser paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in Pure Active Matte Control Anti Blemish Face 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. Pure Active Matte Control Anti Blemish Face Moisturiser contains 7 flagged allergens and 2 irritants (listed in the analysis above).
