Frequently asked questions

Does Sun Fresh Sunscreen SPF 50 contain fragrance allergens?

Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 4 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, amyl cinnamal, limonene, benzyl salicylate. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Sun Fresh Sunscreen SPF 50 with caution and patch test before full use.

Is Sun Fresh Sunscreen SPF 50 paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in Sun Fresh 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. Sun Fresh Sunscreen SPF 50 contains 9 flagged allergens and 1 irritant (listed in the analysis above). If none are on your personal allergen list it may suit you, but patch test first — add your allergens to AllerNote to check Sun Fresh Sunscreen SPF 50 against your own profile.
