Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 8 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, limonene, linalool, benzyl alcohol, citronellol, geraniol, alpha-isomethyl ionone, butylphenyl methylpropional. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Daily Essentials 24H Moisture Boost + Refresh Protecting Day Cream with caution and patch test before full use.

Is Daily Essentials 24H Moisture Boost + Refresh Protecting Day Cream paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in Daily Essentials 24H Moisture Boost + Refresh Protecting 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.
