Frequently asked questions
Does UV Deep Protect & Care Milk Mist SPF 50+ 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 UV Deep Protect & Care Milk Mist SPF 50+ with caution and patch test before full use.
Is UV Deep Protect & Care Milk Mist SPF 50+ paraben-free?
No parabens were detected in UV Deep Protect & Care Milk Mist SPF 50+'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.
