Even after using a product for many years your skin can react to it without you realizing that the ingredients could be the problem. Some ‚natural‘ products can also cause an allergic reaction.

Preservatives: Benzoic acid, Methylparaben, Ethylbaraben, Butylparaben, Propylparaben and many more.
Mineral oils: Mineral oil, Petrolatum (vaseline), Paraffinum-liquidum, Paraffinum Subliquidum, Cera Mocrocristallina, Microcrystaline wax, Ozokerit, Ceresin
Ingredients derived from dead animals.
Perfumes, fragrances and ethereal oils.

Keep your skin smiling,
