Frequently asked questions

Does Clean Deeper Gel Scrub contain fragrance allergens?

Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 3 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, citronellol, alpha-isomethyl ionone. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Clean Deeper Gel Scrub with caution and patch test before full use.

Is Clean Deeper Gel Scrub suitable for sensitive or allergy-prone skin?

It depends on your specific triggers. Clean Deeper Gel Scrub contains 9 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 Clean Deeper Gel Scrub against your own profile.
