Frequently asked questions
Is Niacinamide 5% Body Lotion fragrance-free?

Is Niacinamide 5% Body Lotion paraben-free?
No parabens were detected in Niacinamide 5% Body Lotion'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.
