Is UV Clear Blemish-Prone & Oil Balancing Face Sunscreen SPF 50 fragrance-free?

No added fragrance or EU-labelled fragrance allergens were detected in UV Clear Blemish-Prone & Oil Balancing Face Sunscreen SPF 50's listed ingredients.

Is UV Clear Blemish-Prone & Oil Balancing Face Sunscreen SPF 50 paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in UV Clear Blemish-Prone & Oil Balancing Face Sunscreen SPF 50's listed ingredients.
