Frequently asked questions
Does Norwegian Formula Lipcare SPF 20 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 Norwegian Formula Lipcare SPF 20 with caution and patch test before full use.
Is Norwegian Formula Lipcare SPF 20 paraben-free?
