Frequently asked questions

Does Niacinamide & Alpha Arbutin Skin Clarifying Serum contain fragrance allergens?

Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 1 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Niacinamide & Alpha Arbutin Skin Clarifying Serum with caution and patch test before full use.

Is Niacinamide & Alpha Arbutin Skin Clarifying Serum paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in Niacinamide & Alpha Arbutin Skin Clarifying Serum'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. Niacinamide & Alpha Arbutin Skin Clarifying Serum contains 1 flagged allergen and 1 irritant (listed in the analysis above).
