Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 5 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, linalool, benzyl alcohol, alpha-isomethyl ionone, citronellol. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Protect & Bronze Double Action Tan Activator Sun Spray SPF 50 with caution and patch test before full use.

Is Protect & Bronze Double Action Tan Activator Sun Spray SPF 50 paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in Protect & Bronze Double Action Tan Activator Sun Spray SPF 50's listed ingredients.
