Frequently asked questions

Does Neovadiol Meno 5 Bi-Serum contain fragrance allergens?

Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 1 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Neovadiol Meno 5 Bi-Serum with caution and patch test before full use.

Is Neovadiol Meno 5 Bi-Serum paraben-free?
