No added fragrance or EU-labelled fragrance allergens were detected in Clear Face Break-Out Free Liquid Lotion Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 50's listed ingredients.

Is Clear Face Break-Out Free Liquid Lotion Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 50 paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in Clear Face Break-Out Free Liquid Lotion Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 50's listed ingredients.
