Frequently asked questions
Does Hydraphase HA Light Hyaluronic Acid Face Moisturizer contain fragrance allergens?
Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 1 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Hydraphase HA Light Hyaluronic Acid Face Moisturizer with caution and patch test before full use.
Is Hydraphase HA Light Hyaluronic Acid Face Moisturizer paraben-free?
