Frequently asked questions

Does Sun Protect & Dry Touch Refreshing Mist SPF50 contain fragrance allergens?

Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 1 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Sun Protect & Dry Touch Refreshing Mist SPF50 with caution and patch test before full use.

Is Sun Protect & Dry Touch Refreshing Mist SPF50 paraben-free?
