Frequently asked questions
Does Spray Solar 50+ FPS contain fragrance allergens?
Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 6 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, limonene, linalool, alpha-isomethyl ionone, citronellol, geraniol. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Spray Solar 50+ FPS with caution and patch test before full use.
Is Spray Solar 50+ FPS paraben-free?
No parabens were detected in Spray Solar 50+ FPS'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.
Is Spray Solar 50+ FPS suitable for sensitive or allergy-prone skin?
It depends on your specific triggers. Spray Solar 50+ FPS contains 9 flagged allergens and 2 irritants (listed in the analysis above). If none are on your personal allergen list it may suit you, but patch test first — add your allergens to AllerNote to check Spray Solar 50+ FPS against your own profile.
