Balea

Gesichtsmaske Totes Meer

Dead Sea silt second, kaolin fourth, zinc oxide sixth, and no fragrance anywhere in twenty-one ingredients - for about 23 cents an application. It is close to the same idea as the Schaebens Dead Sea mask, with bamboo stem extract and bisabolol standing in for spirulina.

What stands out in the list

Worked out from the ingredients, not the packaging claims.

  • 1 concentration-capped ingredient

    EU law sets a maximum for Zinc Oxide. Products on sale in the EU must comply.

  • No fragrance or declared allergens

    Nothing in the list is Parfum/Fragrance or an EU-declared fragrance allergen.

  • No drying alcohol

    No ethanol, alcohol denat. or isopropyl alcohol in the list. Fatty alcohols such as cetearyl alcohol are not drying and do not count.

  • 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.

  • Barrier-supporting actives

    Contains Panthenol, ingredients with reasonable evidence for calming and supporting the skin barrier.
