Frequently asked questions

Does Squalane Foaming Face Wash contain fragrance allergens?

Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 2 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: rosa damascena flower oil, citrus aurantium bergamia fruit oil. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Squalane Foaming Face Wash with caution and patch test before full use.

Is Squalane Foaming Face Wash paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in Squalane Foaming Face Wash'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 Squalane Foaming Face Wash suitable for sensitive or allergy-prone skin?

It depends on your specific triggers. Squalane Foaming Face Wash contains 2 flagged allergens and 2 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 Squalane Foaming Face Wash against your own profile.
