Frequently asked questions

Does Bakuchiol & Retinol 1% Serum 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 Bakuchiol & Retinol 1% Serum with caution and patch test before full use.

Is Bakuchiol & Retinol 1% Serum paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in Bakuchiol & Retinol 1% 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.
