Frequently asked questions
Is Salicylic Acid + LHA 02% Body Wash fragrance-free?
No added fragrance or EU-labelled fragrance allergens were detected in Salicylic Acid + LHA 02% Body Wash's listed ingredients. "Not detected" isn't an absolute guarantee, but it's a good sign for fragrance-sensitive skin — confirm against the current pack and your own triggers.
Is Salicylic Acid + LHA 02% Body Wash paraben-free?
No parabens were detected in Salicylic Acid + LHA 02% Body 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.

It depends on your specific triggers. Salicylic Acid + LHA 02% Body Wash contains 2 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 Salicylic Acid + LHA 02% Body Wash against your own profile.
