Frequently asked questions
Is Handscreen SPF 40 fragrance-free?
No added fragrance or EU-labelled fragrance allergens were detected in Handscreen SPF 40'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 Handscreen SPF 40 paraben-free?
