Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 8 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, limonene, linalool, benzyl alcohol, citronellol, geraniol, alpha-isomethyl ionone, butylphenyl methylpropional. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Hydrating Day Cream Normal Combination Skin SPF30 with caution and patch test before full use.
Is Hydrating Day Cream Normal Combination Skin SPF30 paraben-free?

It depends on your specific triggers. Hydrating Day Cream Normal Combination Skin SPF30 contains 12 flagged allergens and 1 irritant (listed in the analysis above).
