Every cream is made up of different lipids and other components, some of which have a musty or unpleasant smell. A cream of this kind would not be accepted by most users, even though it works well; in these cases other pleasant-smelling components (e.g. scents) need to be added.
To prevent further skin irritation, all Linola products undergo strict skin compatibility tests. These tests also include people with sensitive skin and those prone to neurodermatitis.
