Frequently asked questions
Does Green Tea Cleansing Face Mousse contain fragrance allergens?
Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 8 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, linalool, benzyl alcohol, geraniol, citronellol, eugenol, citral, limonene. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Green Tea Cleansing Face Mousse with caution and patch test before full use.
Is Green Tea Cleansing Face Mousse paraben-free?
No parabens were detected in Green Tea Cleansing Face Mousse'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 Green Tea Cleansing Face Mousse suitable for sensitive or allergy-prone skin?
It depends on your specific triggers. Green Tea Cleansing Face Mousse contains 10 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 Green Tea Cleansing Face Mousse against your own profile.
