Frequently asked questions

Is Weightless Body Treatment 2% BHA fragrance-free?

No added fragrance or EU-labelled fragrance allergens were detected in Weightless Body Treatment 2% BHA'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.

Is Weightless Body Treatment 2% BHA paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in Weightless Body Treatment 2% BHA'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. Weightless Body Treatment 2% BHA contains 2 flagged allergens and 1 irritant (listed in the analysis above).
