Frequently asked questions
Does Hydro Boost Ultra Lightweight Body Gel Lotion contain fragrance allergens?
Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 1 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Hydro Boost Ultra Lightweight Body Gel Lotion with caution and patch test before full use.
Is Hydro Boost Ultra Lightweight Body Gel Lotion paraben-free?
No parabens were detected in Hydro Boost Ultra Lightweight Body Gel 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.

It depends on your specific triggers. Hydro Boost Ultra Lightweight Body Gel Lotion 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 Hydro Boost Ultra Lightweight Body Gel Lotion against your own profile.
