Frequently asked questions

Does 3In1 Anti-Age Q10 Hand Cream contain fragrance allergens?

Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 8 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, linalool, citronellol, hexyl cinnamal, benzyl alcohol, alpha-isomethyl ionone, limonene, eugenol. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat 3In1 Anti-Age Q10 Hand Cream with caution and patch test before full use.

Is 3In1 Anti-Age Q10 Hand Cream paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in 3In1 Anti-Age Q10 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.

It depends on your specific triggers. 3In1 Anti-Age Q10 Hand Cream contains 11 flagged allergens and 2 irritants (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 3In1 Anti-Age Q10 Hand Cream against your own profile.
