Common questions
Is Estée Lauder Futurist Hydraplump Lip Balm fragrance-free?
No. Fragrance (listed as "Fragrance (parfum)") is the 21st of 51 ingredients.
Does Estée Lauder Futurist Hydraplump Lip Balm contain alcohol?
No drying alcohol (alcohol denat. or ethanol) is listed.
Is Estée Lauder Futurist Hydraplump Lip Balm safe for fungal acne?
It contains 7 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (dipentaerythrityl hexahydroxystearate, glyceryl behenate); plant oils & butters (ricinus communis (castor) seed oil, prunus avium (sweet cherry) seed oil, carica papaya (papaya) seed oil); and 2 more. How much they matter depends on the amount and the rest of the formula. The evidence comes mainly from lab studies of yeast growth, and fungal acne needs a diagnosis from a GP or dermatologist.
Is Estée Lauder Futurist Hydraplump Lip Balm suitable for sensitive skin?
It contains fragrance, which can bother sensitive skin. Patch-test it before using it all over.
