Frequently asked questions
Does Protect & Bronze Oil Spray SPF 30 contain fragrance allergens?
Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 7 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, limonene, linalool, benzyl alcohol, alpha-isomethyl ionone, citronellol, geraniol. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Protect & Bronze Oil Spray SPF 30 with caution and patch test before full use.
Is Protect & Bronze Oil Spray SPF 30 paraben-free?
No parabens were detected in Protect & Bronze Oil Spray SPF 30'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. Protect & Bronze Oil Spray SPF 30 contains 9 flagged allergens and 1 irritant (listed in the analysis above).
