Frequently asked questions

Does Fresh Blends Refreshing Shower Gel contain fragrance allergens?

Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 5 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, linalool, hexyl cinnamal, benzyl salicylate, mentha piperita leaf extract. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Fresh Blends Refreshing Shower Gel with caution and patch test before full use.

Is Fresh Blends Refreshing Shower Gel paraben-free?

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

It depends on your specific triggers. Fresh Blends Refreshing Shower Gel contains 7 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 Fresh Blends Refreshing Shower Gel against your own profile.
