Frequently asked questions

Is Skin Recovery Daily Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30 fragrance-free?

Is Skin Recovery Daily Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30 paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in Skin Recovery Daily Moisturizing Lotion 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.
