Frequently asked questions

Does UV Face Anti-Age & Anti-Pigment Sun Cream SPF50 contain fragrance allergens?

Yes — analysing the INCI list, AllerNote found 7 of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens: parfum, linalool, alpha-isomethyl ionone, coumarin, limonene, geraniol, citronellol. If you're fragrance-sensitive or patch-test positive to a fragrance mix, treat UV Face Anti-Age & Anti-Pigment Sun Cream SPF50 with caution and patch test before full use.

Is UV Face Anti-Age & Anti-Pigment Sun Cream SPF50 paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in UV Face Anti-Age & Anti-Pigment Sun Cream 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. UV Face Anti-Age & Anti-Pigment Sun Cream SPF50 contains 12 flagged allergens and 2 irritants (listed in the analysis above).
