Science & Benefits

Benzaldehyde is the simplest aromatic aldehyde. It is highly volatile and reactive. While non-comedogenic, it is a known irritant for the eyes and the respiratory system, as well as the skin barrier. For acne sufferers, this ingredient is a logical 'avoid' in leave-on products, as it adds unnecessary chemical stress to skin that is often already compromised by active treatments.
