Frequently asked questions

Does Smoothness Lip Balm contain fragrance allergens?

Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 1 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: aroma. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Smoothness Lip Balm with caution and patch test before full use.

Is Smoothness Lip Balm paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in Smoothness Lip Balm'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 Smoothness Lip Balm suitable for sensitive or allergy-prone skin?

It depends on your specific triggers. Smoothness Lip Balm contains 1 flagged allergen 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 Smoothness Lip Balm against your own profile.
