Frequently asked questions

Does 3 in 1 Repair Hand Cream contain fragrance allergens?

Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 7 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, linalool, limonene, citronellol, geraniol, alpha-isomethyl ionone, benzyl alcohol. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat 3 in 1 Repair Hand Cream with caution and patch test before full use.

Is 3 in 1 Repair Hand Cream paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in 3 in 1 Repair Hand Cream'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.

Is 3 in 1 Repair Hand Cream suitable for sensitive or allergy-prone skin?

It depends on your specific triggers. 3 in 1 Repair Hand Cream contains 8 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 3 in 1 Repair Hand Cream against your own profile.
