Frequently asked questions

Does Serum UV SPF 50+ contain fragrance allergens?

Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 7 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, limonene, linalool, benzyl alcohol, geraniol, citral, benzyl salicylate. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Serum UV SPF 50+ with caution and patch test before full use.

Is Serum UV SPF 50+ paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in Serum UV SPF 50+'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.

Is Serum UV SPF 50+ suitable for sensitive or allergy-prone skin?

It depends on your specific triggers. Serum UV SPF 50+ 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 Serum UV SPF 50+ against your own profile.
