Hydro Gel Mask
€39.95
The list runs to 33 entries, and Alcohol is third, above Xanthan Gum and Squalane. Aroma sits at eight, with individually declared fragrance components at nine (Benzyl Alcohol), seventeen (Benzyl Benzoate), nineteen (Limonene), twenty-five (Linalool), twenty-seven (Citronellol) and twenty-eight (Hexyl Cinnamal). Sodium Hyaluronate is at eighteen and Tremella Fuciformis Sporocarp Extract, which the brand markets as its botanical hyaluronic acid, at twenty-two. Menthyl Lactate at sixteen is the cooling agent. Sodium Carrageenan, the brand's red algae, is at thirty-two and Maris Sal last at thirty-three; the brand labels the product vegetarian rather than vegan.
Aimed at
What stands out in the list
Worked out from the ingredients, not the packaging claims.
Contains fragrance
Listed as Parfum/Fragrance, which can stand for dozens of undisclosed aroma chemicals. Fragrance is one of the most common causes of cosmetic contact allergy.
6 declared fragrance allergens
EU law requires these to be named on the pack: Benzyl Alcohol, Benzyl Benzoate, Limonene, Linalool, Citronellol, Hexyl Cinnamal.
Drying alcohol, high in the list
Alcohol appears at position 3, so it is a major part of the formula. Expect a fast, matte finish and possible tightness on dry or reactive skin.
Exfoliating acids
Contains Lactic Acid. Use sunscreen the following day; EU law caps these.
Nothing flagged for pregnancy
No ingredient on this list is one our encyclopaedia marks as avoided or used with caution in pregnancy. That is not the same as a clearance, so check with your midwife or doctor.
