Frequently asked questions

Does Moisture Rescue Refreshing Gel Cream contain fragrance allergens?

Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 5 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: hydroxyisohexyl 3-cyclohexene carboxaldehyde, parfum, linalool, butylphenyl methylpropional, benzyl salicylate. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Moisture Rescue Refreshing Gel Cream with caution and patch test before full use.

Is Moisture Rescue Refreshing Gel Cream paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in Moisture Rescue Refreshing Gel Cream'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 Moisture Rescue Refreshing Gel Cream suitable for sensitive or allergy-prone skin?

It depends on your specific triggers. Moisture Rescue Refreshing Gel Cream contains 5 flagged allergens and 2 irritants (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 Moisture Rescue Refreshing Gel Cream against your own profile.
