Mario Badescu Brightening Mask With Vitamin C, I really enjoy this soothing mask but it is ruined by the added fragrance and Benzyl Benzoate which is on the EU list of 26 that can cause allergies. Most fragrances will eventually sensitize your skin, but this one is a problem. I applied this mask three times over the last week and while there is no super strong scent, the third time I used it, I wanted to start scratching my skin. I used no other products except this one on clean, damp skin. I did notice that my skin appeared a bit brighter and more even. I will probably use this once a week from now on. #alcohol-free Key Ingredients Antioxidant: Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Flour, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate Skin brightening: Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate Skin-identical ingredient: Glycerin Soothing: Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Flour Sunscreen: Zinc Oxide Show all ingredients by function Other Ingredients Abrasive/scrub: Kaolin, Triticum Vulgare (Wheat) Starch Antimicrobial/antibacterial: Benzyl Benzoate Colorant: Kaolin, Ci 77891 (Titanium Dioxide) Emollient: Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Flour, Caprylyl Glycol Emulsifying: Polysorbate 80, Polysorbate 20, Sorbitan Isostearate Moisturizer/humectant: Glycerin, Sorbitol, Propylene Glycol, Caprylyl Glycol Perfuming: Parfum (Fragrance), Benzyl Benzoate Preservative: Tropolone Solvent: Aqua (Water, Eau), Propylene Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Benzyl Benzoate Surfactant/cleansing: Polysorbate 80, Polysorbate 20 Viscosity controlling: Triticum Vulgare (Wheat) Starch, Propylene Glycol, Cellulose Gum, Polyisobutene Aqua (Water, Eau), Kaolin, Triticum Vulgare (Wheat) Starch, Glycerin, Polysorbate 80, Zinc Oxide, Sorbitol, Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Flour, Propylene Glycol, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Cellulose Gum, 1,2-Hexanediol, Caprylyl Glycol, Polyacrylate-13, Parfum (Fragrance), Polyisobutene, Polysorbate 20, Sorbitan Isostearate, Tropolone, Benzyl Benzoate, CI 77891 (Titanium Dioxide).
