Frequently asked questions
Does 3% Zinc Complex Face Serum With Green Tea 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 3% Zinc Complex Face Serum With Green Tea with caution and patch test before full use.
Is 3% Zinc Complex Face Serum With Green Tea paraben-free?
