Frequently asked questions

Does Facial Fuel Energizing Face Wash contain fragrance allergens?

Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 2 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, limonene. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Facial Fuel Energizing Face Wash with caution and patch test before full use.

Is Facial Fuel Energizing Face Wash paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in Facial Fuel Energizing 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.

Is Facial Fuel Energizing Face Wash suitable for sensitive or allergy-prone skin?

It depends on your specific triggers. Facial Fuel Energizing Face Wash contains 6 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 Facial Fuel Energizing Face Wash against your own profile.
