Frequently asked questions
Does Care Fairness Cream contain fragrance allergens?
Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 5 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, linalool, geraniol, benzyl alcohol, citronellol. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Care Fairness Cream with caution and patch test before full use.
Does Care Fairness Cream contain parabens?
Yes, Care Fairness Cream's INCI list includes one or more parabens. For most people that's low-risk — parabens have a notably low contact-allergy rate — but if you've patch-tested positive to parabens specifically, choose a paraben-free alternative.
Is Care Fairness Cream suitable for sensitive or allergy-prone skin?
It depends on your specific triggers. Care Fairness Cream contains 9 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 Care Fairness Cream against your own profile.
