Product Information

Parabens are a large group of preservatives which are used to prevent bacteria growing in cosmetic formulations. The bottle is also made from 100% recycled plastic and can be recycled again* so you can do your bit to help reduce waste.

There has been some healthy controversy surrounding them due to a few studies finding paraben presence in breast tumours and breast tissue. However, the majority of the scientific community have deemed these findings non-conclusive due to the limitations of these studies. At SkinCarisma, we've done our best to identify as many ingredients as possible but note the fungal-free label may not be 100% accurate due to the complexconditions and combination of ingredients that malezzeria can thrive on.Meet our Camomile Cleanser that melts away makeup, dirt and excess oil in just one simple step.

Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia folliculitis or simply known as Fungal Acne is a persistent acne-like condition that commonly responds poorly to traditional acne-treating methods. Unlike most cases of Acne where bacteria is the culprit, Fungi is the culprit of Fungal Acne (Hence the name!). There are certain classes & groups of ingredients that have been shown to promote and feed the growth of the Fungal Acne, Fungi such as fatty acids, oils, esters, polysorbates and fermented ingredients. We welcome the addition of pumpkin spiced everything into our lives each autumn, but is the humble fruit actually good for our skin? We asked Dr Catherine Borysiewicz, consultant dermatologist at the Cadogan Clinic in London, to share exactly what pumpkin is great for. "Pumpkin is more than just a Halloween decoration — the nutrient-dense fruit is full of vital proteins, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, which is as beneficial for our health as nourishing our skin," said Borysiewicz. Pumpkin delivers a whole host of benefits for the skin that include removing dead skin from the surface, brightening the complexion, and fighting against acne flare-ups thanks to the proteins found in pumpkin. "The zinc, enzymes and alpha hydroxyl acids (AHAs) in pumpkin help increase the skin cell turnover, soften the skin, and restore the pH balance," explained Borysiewicz.

These include: Amodimethicone, Behenoxy Dimethicone, Bis-Aminopropyl Dimethicone, Cetearyl Methicone, Cetyl Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethicone Copolyol, Dimethiconol, Methicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Stearoxy Dimethicone, Stearyl Dimethicone, Trimethylsilylamodimethicone. For the same reasons they are popularly used, they are also commonly avoided. Anecdotally, many individuals have reported that Silicones cause/excerbate breakouts, irritation, cause a feeling of skin being unable to breathe, cause clumping of cosmetic products and find it difficult to wash off. As a result, those who find them problematic are avoiding them and increasingly, cosmetic companies are avoiding them as well.If you are concerned about the health safety of parabens, then feel free to avoid them by looking out for the Paraben-Free icon. Earlier this week, whilst sipping my festively flavoured hot chocolate, sporting my pumpkin face mask, luxuriating in pumpkin bath-bombed water, lathering up with Vanilla Pumpkin Shower Cream, I wondered if I might be taking the autumn a touch too seriously…but then I realised, that’s just not possible, as autumn rules, so I could not have been happier to get my hands on the new The Body Shop Vanilla Pumpkin range.

Crafted with calming camomile water from Norfolk, England, this Jelly Cleanser is perfect for light makeup days, a post-gym cleanse or just removing the day's dirt and grime. Certified by The Vegan Society, this cleansing hero prepares your skin for the next steps in your evening skincare routine.

There's still a lot of support for avoiding parabens following the better safe than sorry route. If you do we completely support you! If you've ever used a skincare, makeup or beauty product that's made your skin look and feel smoother tempoarily - it's likely contained Silicone. They are a popular class of ingredients found in cosmetics due to their smooth, soft, easy-to-spread and smooth properties that help creates an artificial layer/barrier on top of skin or hair (commonly found in conditioners).This lightweight, jelly texture transforms from a gel to a silky milk when you add water, to dissolve makeup and leave skin feeling cleansed and balanced. That's right, even the most stubborn mascara and non-smudging lip products. The Vanilla Pumpkin Collection officially launches online at 8 September, at TheBodyShop.com, so you can enjoy the sugar-and-spice scent a little early or save it as a treat for yourself come the autumn. It features three products, a shower gel, body butter, and hand cream, to revamp your entire body care routine with the cosy scent — a warm blend of pumpkin, warm hazelnut caramel, maple syrup, and almond milk. Additionally, products that may contain ingredients that have shown to feed Malassezia may not neccessarily exacerbate the condition due to concentration of ingredient used in the product, this information is simply not available on the products. If not, don't worry about it - they do have had one of the longest safety records as preservatives! As a result, please note this is only an experimental label that can be best used to possible identify problematic products you have used in the past. It is in no way a perfect identifier nor a predictor in whether or not it will exacerbate or cause fungal acne. It will continue to be worked on as more information and research comes to light.
