Frequently asked questions

Is UV Restore Broad Spectrum SPF 40 Sunscreen fragrance-free?

Is UV Restore Broad Spectrum SPF 40 Sunscreen paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in UV Restore Broad Spectrum SPF 40 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.
