Frequently asked questions
Does Nourishing Care Cream contain fragrance allergens?
Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 6 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, linalool, alpha-isomethyl ionone, citronellol, geraniol, limonene. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Nourishing Care Cream with caution and patch test before full use.
Is Nourishing Care Cream paraben-free?
No parabens were detected in Nourishing Care Cream'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 Nourishing Care Cream suitable for sensitive or allergy-prone skin?
It depends on your specific triggers. Nourishing Care Cream contains 8 flagged allergens and 0 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 Nourishing Care Cream against your own profile.
