Frequently asked questions
Is UV Daily Hydration+ SPF 50 Face Sunscreen fragrance-free?

Is UV Daily Hydration+ SPF 50 Face Sunscreen paraben-free?
No parabens were detected in UV Daily Hydration+ SPF 50 Face Sunscreen'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.
