Common questions
Is Estée Lauder Nutritious Melting Soft Crème / Mask Moisturiser fragrance-free?
Yes. No fragrance, essential oils or fragrance allergens are listed in its ingredients.
Does Estée Lauder Nutritious Melting Soft Crème / Mask 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 Estée Lauder Nutritious Melting Soft Crème / Mask Moisturiser safe for fungal acne?
It contains 3 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (polyglyceryl-6 distearate); plant oils & butters (butyrospermum parkii (shea) butter); ferments (lactobacillus ferment). 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 Nutritious Melting Soft Crème / Mask 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.
