Frequently asked questions

Does Purify Bio Aloe Vera Organic Rice Scrub contain fragrance allergens?

Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 2 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, benzyl alcohol. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Purify Bio Aloe Vera Organic Rice Scrub with caution and patch test before full use.

Is Purify Bio Aloe Vera Organic Rice Scrub paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in Purify Bio Aloe Vera Organic Rice Scrub'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.

It depends on your specific triggers. Purify Bio Aloe Vera Organic Rice Scrub contains 4 flagged allergens and 1 irritant (listed in the analysis above).
