Frequently asked questions

Does Q10 Energy Vitamin C+E SPF15 contain fragrance allergens?

Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 4 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, linalool, limonene, geraniol. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Q10 Energy Vitamin C+E SPF15 with caution and patch test before full use.

Is Q10 Energy Vitamin C+E SPF15 paraben-free?

It depends on your specific triggers. Q10 Energy Vitamin C+E SPF15 contains 7 flagged allergens and 2 irritants (listed in the analysis above).
