Frequently asked questions

Does Oil-Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit Foaming Scrub 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 Oil-Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit Foaming Scrub with caution and patch test before full use.

Is Oil-Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit Foaming Scrub paraben-free?
