Frequently asked questions

Does Sun Protect & Moisture Pump Spray SPF 20 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, anise alcohol. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Sun Protect & Moisture Pump Spray SPF 20 with caution and patch test before full use.

Is Sun Protect & Moisture Pump Spray SPF 20 paraben-free?

It depends on your specific triggers. Sun Protect & Moisture Pump Spray SPF 20 contains 7 flagged allergens and 3 irritants (listed in the analysis above).
