Schaebens

Gesichtsmaske Kollagen Boost

A 55-cent sachet with bakuchiol at eleventh - the plant compound sold as a retinol alternative - sitting just ahead of the desamido collagen the pack is named for. Shea butter, sweet almond oil and grape seed oil make it the richest of the cheap Schaebens creams, and urea and panthenol handle the water side. Parfum is seventh, which is high, and four of its allergens are declared at the end.

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.

  • 3 declared fragrance allergens

    EU law requires these to be named on the pack: Benzyl Alcohol, Linalool, Linalyl Acetate.

  • Exfoliating acids

    Contains Lactic Acid. Use sunscreen the following day; EU law caps these.

  • 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.
