Frequently asked questions

Does Naturally Clean Face Cleasing Bar contain fragrance allergens?

Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 3 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, linalool, geraniol. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Naturally Clean Face Cleasing Bar with caution and patch test before full use.

Is Naturally Clean Face Cleasing Bar paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in Naturally Clean Face Cleasing Bar'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 Naturally Clean Face Cleasing Bar suitable for sensitive or allergy-prone skin?

It depends on your specific triggers. Naturally Clean Face Cleasing Bar contains 3 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 Naturally Clean Face Cleasing Bar against your own profile.
