Frequently asked questions
Does Skin Food Ultra-Light Dry Oil contain fragrance allergens?
Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 5 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, limonene, linalool, benzyl benzoate, geraniol. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Skin Food Ultra-Light Dry Oil with caution and patch test before full use.
Is Skin Food Ultra-Light Dry Oil paraben-free?
No parabens were detected in Skin Food Ultra-Light Dry Oil'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 Ultra-Light Dry Oil suitable for sensitive or allergy-prone skin?
It depends on your specific triggers. Skin Food Ultra-Light Dry Oil contains 5 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 Ultra-Light Dry Oil against your own profile.
