Frequently asked questions
Does Capital Soleil Solar Protective Water SPF 50 Enhanced Tan 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 Capital Soleil Solar Protective Water SPF 50 Enhanced Tan with caution and patch test before full use.
Is Capital Soleil Solar Protective Water SPF 50 Enhanced Tan paraben-free?
