Frequently asked questions

Does After Sun Lotion contain fragrance allergens?

Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 7 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, limonene, linalool, farnesol, geraniol, citronellol, citral. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat After Sun Lotion with caution and patch test before full use.

Does After Sun Lotion contain parabens?

Yes, After Sun Lotion's INCI list includes one or more parabens. For most people that's low-risk — parabens have a notably low contact-allergy rate — but if you've patch-tested positive to parabens specifically, choose a paraben-free alternative.

Is After Sun Lotion suitable for sensitive or allergy-prone skin?

It depends on your specific triggers. After Sun Lotion 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 After Sun Lotion against your own profile.
