Frequently asked questions
Does Aqua Sensation Invigorating Day Cream contain fragrance allergens?
Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 5 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, linalool, limonene, benzyl alcohol, citronellol. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Aqua Sensation Invigorating Day Cream with caution and patch test before full use.
Is Aqua Sensation Invigorating Day Cream paraben-free?
No parabens were detected in Aqua Sensation Invigorating Day 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 Aqua Sensation Invigorating Day Cream suitable for sensitive or allergy-prone skin?
It depends on your specific triggers. Aqua Sensation Invigorating Day 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 Aqua Sensation Invigorating Day Cream against your own profile.
