Schaebens

Gesichtsmaske Zink

Zinc oxide fifth, barley seed extract and beta-glucan below it, and no fragrance in twenty-seven ingredients. Ethylhexyl stearate and soybean oil in second and third place make it a cream rather than the drying clay you might expect from an anti-blemish mask.

What stands out in the list

Worked out from the ingredients, not the packaging claims.

  • Contains drying alcohol

    Alcohol appears at position 14, well down the list, so the amount is likely small.

  • 2 concentration-capped ingredients

    EU law sets a maximum for Zinc Oxide, Sodium Hydroxide. 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.

  • 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.
