Beauty Formulas Cucumber 3 minute clay Mask 100ml100ml

Key Ingredients

• Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Juice: included for its traditional soothing, refreshing reputation, consistent with the product's cucumber positioning
• Kaolin: a clay ingredient included for oil-absorbing, deep-cleansing texture
• Panthenol, Tocopheryl Acetate: included for skin-soothing and antioxidant support
• Important sourcing note -- genuine paraben contradiction: two independent retailer-listed ingredient panels for this product (incibeauty.com and Notino) include four parabens (Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, Butylparaben, Propylparaben) plus Imidazolidinyl Urea, a formaldehyde-releasing preservative. However, a third retailer (Cosmetify) markets this same product as "paraben-free." MedEasy could not resolve this contradiction -- it may reflect a reformulation, a listing error, or a regional formula difference -- and does not assert either "contains parabens" or "paraben-free" as confirmed fact. MedEasy recommends verifying the actual ingredient list on the physical packaging before relying on either claim
