Frequently asked questions
Does Natural Glow Day Cream contain fragrance allergens?
Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 5 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, linalool, alpha-isomethyl ionone, geraniol, citronellol. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Natural Glow Day Cream with caution and patch test before full use.
Does Natural Glow Day Cream contain parabens?
Yes, Natural Glow Day Cream's INCI list includes one or more parabens. For most people that's low-risk — parabens have a notably low contact-allergy rate — but if you've patch-tested positive to parabens specifically, choose a paraben-free alternative.
Is Natural Glow Day Cream suitable for sensitive or allergy-prone skin?
It depends on your specific triggers. Natural Glow Day Cream contains 11 flagged allergens and 2 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 Natural Glow Day Cream against your own profile.
