Frequently asked questions

Is Sun Soothing Sensitive Sun Lotion SPF50+ fragrance-free?

No added fragrance or EU-labelled fragrance allergens were detected in Sun Soothing Sensitive Sun Lotion SPF50+'s listed ingredients. "Not detected" isn't an absolute guarantee, but it's a good sign for fragrance-sensitive skin — confirm against the current pack and your own triggers.

Is Sun Soothing Sensitive Sun Lotion SPF50+ paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in Sun Soothing Sensitive Sun Lotion SPF50+'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 Soothing Sensitive Sun Lotion SPF50+ contains 2 flagged allergens and 2 irritants (listed in the analysis above).
