No, and the difference matters. "Unscented" usually means a masking fragrance has been added to cover the smell of the base ingredients - so there is still perfume in the product, it just doesn't smell of anything in particular. Fragrance-free means no perfume was added at all.

Our products have no added fragrance, no parfum, no essential oils and no masking scent. If you can smell anything, that's the raw ingredients.

That depends on what you react to, and we'd rather you check than take our word for it. Fragrance is the single mosT common cause of contact reactions
in skincare, and we've left it out of all three products along with parabens, petroleum and fillers - so the most likely trigger isn't there.

But "fragrance-free" doesn't mean "reacts with nobody". If you have known sensitivities, read the full ingredient list before you buy. We publish the complete INCI for all three products, in order, with plain explanations of what each one does. See every ingredient

If you have a diagnosed skin condition or a history of significant reactions, talk to your GP or dermatologist, and to your Artist, before putting anything on fresh work.

Fair question, and the honest answer is that "sulfate" covers a wide range of ingredients that behave very differently.

Line Work Gentle Wash uses ammonium lauryl sulfate. It's the surfactant that makes the wash actually clean - it lifts away plasma, excess ink and build-up rather than just moving it around. It's also a rinse-off product with a contact time measured in seconds, not something left sitting on the skin.

Sulfates get a bad name mostly from leave-on products and from high concentrations in stripping shampoos. Neither applies here. What we won't do is quietly swap in a different surfactant with a less recognisable name so the label reads cleaner, or leave the ingredient list off the page entirely.

Stand Fast Cream and Hold Fast Balm contain no sulfates at all. The full list for every product is published, in order. See every ingredient
