Is AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution'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.
