Frequently asked questions
Does 1.5% Vitamin C & Mandarin Glow Boost Toner contain fragrance allergens?
Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 1 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: benzyl alcohol. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat 1.5% Vitamin C & Mandarin Glow Boost Toner with caution and patch test before full use.
Is 1.5% Vitamin C & Mandarin Glow Boost Toner paraben-free?
