Allergies

I have extremely sensitive skin, is Wotnot suitable for me?

All our products have been specifically designed for the most sensitive skin. They have been used and loved by eczema, psoriasis and rosacea sufferers for many years. As with all products, we do suggest you patch test first to ensure no reactions. 

In some of your products you list 'Fragrance' as one of the ingredients. What does this mean?

This is a natural preservative approved by the Australian Certified Organic Association (ACO). It is an extract of blue violet and acacia and smells lovely so is listed on the International Ingredients List as a fragrance!

We believe it is currently the most ‘natural’ safe, gentle and effective preservative available to cosmetic manufacturers. Naticide® is a vegetable-based fragrance which also acts as a very effective broad-spectrum antimicrobial preservative, it acts to inhibit the growth of bacteria, mould and yeast. It is not an eye or skin irritant or a skin sensitiser. 

I am Lactose-intolerant. Are Wotnot products safe for me to use?

None of our products contain ingredients derived from milk and are lactose free. We care deeply about sensitive skin so please, as with any product, carry out a patch test before use. 

My child has a nut allergy. Do I need to use nut-free skin care products?

Most allergies to nuts are triggered by nut proteins, not nut oils. But when it comes to allergic reactions, many people choose to be extra cautious and avoid anything made with nut oils as well. For that reason, none of our products contain nut oils . To be extra safe please carry out a patch test before use. 

What fragrances do you use?

Just the beautiful aroma of the natural ingredients :) 

I am allergic to oats, what products are safe for use?

Our products do not conatin oats or derivatives thereof, so you should be all good! As with any sensitivity please patch test before use.

I am a coeliac, what products do I need to avoid?

We haven't had tests done to be classified as 'Gluten Free' however none of our products contain any ingredients that contains gluten so we believe we are gluten free. We always urge everyone to patch test before use to ensure no reaction to any of the natural ingredients is going to occur. 

I have a number of allergies and sensitivities, can I try some samples before I buy?

Unfortunately we don't have any samples of our skincare at this time. However we feel confident that you will love Wotnot and so offer a $5 discount off any of the Wotnot products when you purchase anything over $25. Use the code NEWCUSTOMER at checkout to redeem this offer. 

How do I perform a Patch Test?

Apply a pea-sized amount of product as close as possible to the most affected area and leave for 24 hours. If any sort of irritation occurs, discontinue use immediately. If you do not experience any irritation you are good to go and use as directed!
