Frequently asked questions
Does Skin Food Nourishing Cleansing Balm contain fragrance allergens?
Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 6 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, limonene, linalool, benzyl benzoate, geraniol, citral. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Skin Food Nourishing Cleansing Balm with caution and patch test before full use.
Is Skin Food Nourishing Cleansing Balm paraben-free?
No parabens were detected in Skin Food Nourishing Cleansing Balm'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.
Is Skin Food Nourishing Cleansing Balm suitable for sensitive or allergy-prone skin?
It depends on your specific triggers. Skin Food Nourishing Cleansing Balm contains 6 flagged allergens and 1 irritant (listed in the analysis above). If none are on your personal allergen list it may suit you, but patch test first — add your allergens to AllerNote to check Skin Food Nourishing Cleansing Balm against your own profile.
