Frequently asked questions
Does Anthelios UVMune 400 Hydrating Cream SPF 50+ contain fragrance allergens?
Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 1 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Anthelios UVMune 400 Hydrating Cream SPF 50+ with caution and patch test before full use.
Is Anthelios UVMune 400 Hydrating Cream SPF 50+ paraben-free?
No parabens were detected in Anthelios UVMune 400 Hydrating Cream 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. Anthelios UVMune 400 Hydrating Cream SPF 50+ contains 4 flagged allergens and 1 irritant (listed in the analysis above).
