Frequently asked questions
Does Anthelios Oil Correct Daily Gel-Cream SPF50+ contain fragrance allergens?
Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 2 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, citrus aurantium dulcis peel oil. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Anthelios Oil Correct Daily Gel-Cream SPF50+ with caution and patch test before full use.
Is Anthelios Oil Correct Daily Gel-Cream SPF50+ paraben-free?
