Frequently asked questions

Does Express Hydration Body Milk contain fragrance allergens?

Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 5 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, linalool, limonene, benzyl alcohol, citronellol. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Express Hydration Body Milk with caution and patch test before full use.

Is Express Hydration Body Milk paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in Express Hydration Body Milk'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 Express Hydration Body Milk suitable for sensitive or allergy-prone skin?

It depends on your specific triggers. Express Hydration Body Milk 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 Express Hydration Body Milk against your own profile.
