Frequently asked questions

Does Transparent Facial Bar for Acne-Prone Skin 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 Transparent Facial Bar for Acne-Prone Skin with caution and patch test before full use.

Is Transparent Facial Bar for Acne-Prone Skin paraben-free?
