Frequently asked questions

Is Pore Minimizing Priming Sunscreen SPF50 PA+++ fragrance-free?

Is Pore Minimizing Priming Sunscreen SPF50 PA+++ paraben-free?

No parabens were detected in Pore Minimizing Priming Sunscreen SPF50 PA+++'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.
