Frequently asked questions
Is Hydrating Eye Makeup Remover Lotion fragrance-free?
No added fragrance or EU-labelled fragrance allergens were detected in Hydrating Eye Makeup Remover Lotion'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.
Does Hydrating Eye Makeup Remover Lotion contain parabens?
Yes, Hydrating Eye Makeup Remover Lotion's INCI list includes one or more parabens. For most people that's low-risk — parabens have a notably low contact-allergy rate — but if you've patch-tested positive to parabens specifically, choose a paraben-free alternative.

It depends on your specific triggers. Hydrating Eye Makeup Remover Lotion 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 Hydrating Eye Makeup Remover Lotion against your own profile.
