Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 1 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: aroma. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Hydro Boost Hyaluronic Acid Lip Balm with caution and patch test before full use.
Is Hydro Boost Hyaluronic Acid Lip Balm paraben-free?
