Frequently asked questions

Does Vitamin C Face Wash contain fragrance allergens?

Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 1 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: citrus limon peel oil. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Vitamin C Face Wash with caution and patch test before full use.

Is Vitamin C Face Wash paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in 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.

Is Vitamin C Face Wash suitable for sensitive or allergy-prone skin?

It depends on your specific triggers. Vitamin C Face Wash contains 3 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 Vitamin C Face Wash against your own profile.
