Frequently asked questions

Does Liftactiv Peptide-C Sunscreen SPF 30 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 Liftactiv Peptide-C Sunscreen SPF 30 with caution and patch test before full use.

Is Liftactiv Peptide-C Sunscreen SPF 30 paraben-free?
