Frequently asked questions

Is UV Facial Broad-Spectrum SPF 30+ fragrance-free?

Is UV Facial Broad-Spectrum SPF 30+ paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in UV Facial Broad-Spectrum SPF 30+'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.
