Frequently asked questions

Does Protect & Moisture Invisible Finish SPF50+ Sun Lotion contain fragrance allergens?

Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 6 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, linalool, benzyl alcohol, alpha-isomethyl ionone, citronellol, linalyl acetate. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Protect & Moisture Invisible Finish SPF50+ Sun Lotion with caution and patch test before full use.

Is Protect & Moisture Invisible Finish SPF50+ Sun Lotion paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in Protect & Moisture Invisible Finish SPF50+ Sun Lotion'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.

Is Protect & Moisture Invisible Finish SPF50+ Sun Lotion suitable for sensitive or allergy-prone skin?

It depends on your specific triggers. Protect & Moisture Invisible Finish SPF50+ Sun Lotion contains 6 flagged allergens and 3 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 Protect & Moisture Invisible Finish SPF50+ Sun Lotion against your own profile.
