Frequently asked questions

Does Intensive Pflege Hand Creme contain fragrance allergens?

Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 7 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, linalool, limonene, geraniol, benzyl alcohol, citronellol, alpha-isomethyl ionone. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Intensive Pflege Hand Creme with caution and patch test before full use.

Is Intensive Pflege Hand Creme paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in Intensive Pflege Hand Creme'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 Intensive Pflege Hand Creme suitable for sensitive or allergy-prone skin?

It depends on your specific triggers. Intensive Pflege Hand Creme 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 Intensive Pflege Hand Creme against your own profile.
