Advisory

  • Contains fragrance: Parfum/Fragrance
  • Fragrance allergens: Limonene, Linalool, Citronellol, Benzyl Alcohol, Benzyl Benzoate, Hexyl Cinnamal

Fragrance does not change the rating; it matters if your skin reacts to fragrance. EU-declared fragrance allergens: relevant only if you are sensitised to them.
