Across the range, product details list various “free of” claims, including paraben-free, phthalate-free, oil-free (for some items), fragrance-free, free of denatured alcohol, free of synthetic colors, SLS-free, SLES-free, and gluten-free.

Instructions note external-use precautions: avoid the eye area and lips, and reduce or discontinue use if you experience excessive drying or peeling.

They combine exfoliating active ingredients that help reduce excess oil with oil-absorbing powders (such as silica) and botanical extracts to prevent oil buildup. Product descriptions state this mattifies the skin and helps reduce shine.
