Frequently asked questions

Does Kids Ultra Protect & Play Lotion SPF 50+ 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 Kids Ultra Protect & Play Lotion SPF 50+ with caution and patch test before full use.

Is Kids Ultra Protect & Play Lotion SPF 50+ paraben-free?

It depends on your specific triggers. Kids Ultra Protect & Play Lotion SPF 50+ contains 3 flagged allergens and 2 irritants (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 Kids Ultra Protect & Play Lotion SPF 50+ against your own profile.
