Frequently asked questions

Does Ferulic Brew Antioxidant Facial Treatment with Lactic Acid contain fragrance allergens?

Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 5 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: linalool, citronellol, geraniol, limonene, pelargonium graveolens flower oil. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Ferulic Brew Antioxidant Facial Treatment with Lactic Acid with caution and patch test before full use.

Is Ferulic Brew Antioxidant Facial Treatment with Lactic Acid paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in Ferulic Brew Antioxidant Facial Treatment with Lactic Acid'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. Ferulic Brew Antioxidant Facial Treatment with Lactic Acid contains 5 flagged allergens and 1 irritant (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 Ferulic Brew Antioxidant Facial Treatment with Lactic Acid against your own profile.
