Frequently asked questions
Is Face & Body Spray High Protection SPF 50+ fragrance-free?

Is Face & Body Spray High Protection SPF 50+ paraben-free?
No parabens were detected in Face & Body Spray High Protection SPF 50+'s listed ingredients. Worth keeping in perspective: parabens are among the least common cosmetic allergens, so "paraben-free" matters far less for reactive skin than avoiding fragrance or the preservative MI/MCI.
