KLAVUU Phytoncide Peeling Gel is an exfoliant with 22 ingredients. It is rated "use caution" in pregnancy because it contains Capryloyl Salicylic Acid. Common allergens: alcohol denat.
Sensitive skin: alcohol denat. Why?
- alcohol denat.: Denatured alcohol, which helps products feel light and dry fast but can dry out or sting dry and sensitive skin. Fatty alcohols like cetyl alcohol are different and aren't flagged.
These flags don't affect the pregnancy rating. They point out the ingredients most likely to make skincare sting, itch, or cause a rash. If your skin is sensitive, or one of them has bothered you before, you may want to skip the product or patch-test it first. Most people use them without a problem.
