Frequently asked questions
Does Schutz & Bräune Sonnenspray SPF 30 contain fragrance allergens?
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 Schutz & Bräune Sonnenspray SPF 30 with caution and patch test before full use.
Is Schutz & Bräune Sonnenspray SPF 30 paraben-free?
No parabens were detected in Schutz & Bräune Sonnenspray 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.
Is Schutz & Bräune Sonnenspray SPF 30 suitable for sensitive or allergy-prone skin?
It depends on your specific triggers. Schutz & Bräune Sonnenspray SPF 30 contains 7 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 Schutz & Bräune Sonnenspray SPF 30 against your own profile.
