Cucina Cosmetica’s products are made from natural ingredients and contain NO SULPHATES and NO PARABENS.
Sulphates are used as a detergent across a broad range of body care products. They are known to dry out the skin and in some cases cause severe skin irritations.
Parabens are a type of preservative used in many products, and there are great risks involved when they have prolonged exposure to the skin. Parabens can contribute to the pre-mature aging of the skin and can also cause an increase in oestrogen which can possibly have an effect on male and female productive organs.
