Frequently asked questions

Does Skin Naturals Bright Complete Vitamin C Face Wash contain fragrance allergens?

Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 5 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, linalool, limonene, benzyl alcohol, benzyl salicylate. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Skin Naturals Bright Complete Vitamin C Face Wash with caution and patch test before full use.

Is Skin Naturals Bright Complete Vitamin C Face Wash paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in Skin Naturals Bright Complete Vitamin C Face Wash'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. Skin Naturals Bright Complete Vitamin C Face Wash contains 5 flagged allergens and 1 irritant (listed in the analysis above).
