Does Idéal Soleil Bronze Tan Optimizing Face Gel-Fluid SPF 50+ 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 Idéal Soleil Bronze Tan Optimizing Face Gel-Fluid SPF 50+ with caution and patch test before full use.

Is Idéal Soleil Bronze Tan Optimizing Face Gel-Fluid SPF 50+ paraben-free?
