Frequently asked questions

Is Waterproof Eye Make-Up Remover fragrance-free?

No added fragrance or EU-labelled fragrance allergens were detected in Waterproof Eye Make-Up Remover's listed ingredients. "Not detected" isn't an absolute guarantee, but it's a good sign for fragrance-sensitive skin — confirm against the current pack and your own triggers.

Does Waterproof Eye Make-Up Remover contain parabens?

Yes, Waterproof Eye Make-Up Remover'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 Waterproof Eye Make-Up Remover suitable for sensitive or allergy-prone skin?

It depends on your specific triggers. Waterproof Eye Make-Up Remover contains 1 flagged allergen and 1 irritant (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 Waterproof Eye Make-Up Remover against your own profile.
