Frequently asked questions

Does Super UV Cooling Watergel Sunscreen SPF 50+ contain fragrance allergens?

Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 5 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, limonene, linalool, geraniol, citral. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Super UV Cooling Watergel Sunscreen SPF 50+ with caution and patch test before full use.

Is Super UV Cooling Watergel Sunscreen SPF 50+ paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in Super UV Cooling Watergel Sunscreen 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.

It depends on your specific triggers. Super UV Cooling Watergel Sunscreen SPF 50+ contains 6 flagged allergens and 2 irritants (listed in the analysis above).
