Frequently asked questions
Does Vital Beauty Day Cream SPF 15 contain fragrance allergens?
Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 6 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, citronellol, benzyl alcohol, linalool, geraniol, benzyl salicylate. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Vital Beauty Day Cream SPF 15 with caution and patch test before full use.
Is Vital Beauty Day Cream SPF 15 paraben-free?
No parabens were detected in Vital Beauty Day Cream SPF 15'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 Vital Beauty Day Cream SPF 15 suitable for sensitive or allergy-prone skin?
It depends on your specific triggers. Vital Beauty Day Cream SPF 15 contains 8 flagged allergens and 1 irritant (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 Vital Beauty Day Cream SPF 15 against your own profile.
