Why it's dangerous
The product contains hydroxyisohexyl 3-cyclohexene carboxaldehyde (HICC), which use is forbidden in cosmetic products. HICC is a skin sensitiser and triggers allergic reactions or contact dermatitis.

BMHCA may harm the reproductive system, may harm the health of the unborn child and may cause skin sensitisation.
