Key Ingredients
FAQ
What does 'additive free' mean for FANCL?
FANCL's additive free philosophy means no preservatives, fragrances, artificial colors, petroleum based surfactants, UV absorbers, or mineral oil. This is stricter than most brands' 'sensitive skin' claims. It's why FANCL products come in small bottles and have shorter shelf lives after opening, they genuinely don't use preservatives.
Is the 'medicated' claim real or just marketing?
It's real. In Japan, 'medicated' (quasi drug status) means the product passed regulatory review with the Ministry of Health for specific active ingredients and claims. This mask's vitamin C derivative and dipotassium glycyrrhizate have been approved for brightening and anti inflammatory effects. It's not just a marketing label.
