Frequently asked questions

Does Protective Face Moisturiser SPF15 contain fragrance allergens?

Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 5 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, limonene, linalool, citronellol, coumarin. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Protective Face Moisturiser SPF15 with caution and patch test before full use.

Is Protective Face Moisturiser SPF15 paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in Protective Face Moisturiser SPF15'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. Protective Face Moisturiser SPF15 contains 8 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 Protective Face Moisturiser SPF15 against your own profile.
