Frequently asked questions

Is Intense Repair Lip Balm fragrance-free?

No added fragrance or EU-labelled fragrance allergens were detected in Intense Repair Lip Balm'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 Intense Repair Lip Balm contain parabens?

Yes, Intense Repair Lip Balm'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.

Is Intense Repair Lip Balm suitable for sensitive or allergy-prone skin?

It depends on your specific triggers. Intense Repair Lip Balm 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 Intense Repair Lip Balm against your own profile.
