Common questions
Is Simple Kind to Skin Hydrating Light Moisturiser fragrance-free?
Yes. No fragrance, essential oils or fragrance allergens are listed in its ingredients.
Does Simple Kind to Skin Hydrating Light Moisturiser contain alcohol?
No drying alcohol (alcohol denat. or ethanol) is listed. It does contain cetyl alcohol: a fatty alcohol that softens and thickens the formula and isn't drying.
Is Simple Kind to Skin Hydrating Light Moisturiser safe for fungal acne?
It contains 3 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (polyglyceryl-3 methylglucose distearate, cetyl palmitate); ferments (leuconostoc/radish root ferment filtrate). 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 Simple Kind to Skin Hydrating Light Moisturiser suitable for sensitive skin?
Its ingredient list avoids the most common irritants: no fragrance, essential oils, drying alcohol or strong exfoliating acids are listed. Reactions are individual, so patch-test anything new.
