Frequently asked questions

Does Clay Fresh Shower Gel contain fragrance allergens?

Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 4 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, limonene, geraniol, alpha-isomethyl ionone. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Clay Fresh Shower Gel with caution and patch test before full use.

Is Clay Fresh Shower Gel paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in Clay Fresh Shower Gel'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 Clay Fresh Shower Gel suitable for sensitive or allergy-prone skin?

It depends on your specific triggers. Clay Fresh Shower Gel 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 Clay Fresh Shower Gel against your own profile.
