Frequently asked questions
Does Sun Protect & Moisture SPF 30 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, linalyl acetate. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat Sun Protect & Moisture SPF 30 with caution and patch test before full use.
Is Sun Protect & Moisture SPF 30 paraben-free?
No parabens were detected in Sun Protect & Moisture 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.

It depends on your specific triggers. Sun Protect & Moisture SPF 30 contains 6 flagged allergens and 2 irritants (listed in the analysis above).
