Frequently asked questions

Does Coconut & Monoi Oil In Lotion contain fragrance allergens?

Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 5 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, linalool, coumarin, benzyl alcohol, citronellol. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Coconut & Monoi Oil In Lotion with caution and patch test before full use.

Is Coconut & Monoi Oil In Lotion paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in Coconut & Monoi Oil In Lotion'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. Coconut & Monoi Oil In Lotion contains 5 flagged allergens and 3 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 Coconut & Monoi Oil In Lotion against your own profile.
