- Contains fragrance or essential oils (Fragrance). Skip it if fragrance irritates your skin.
- Fragrance allergens listed: Linalool, Geraniol, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Limonene, Citronellol. In the EU these must be named when above 0.001% in leave-on or 0.01% in rinse-off products.
- Alcohol appears at #46, lower down the list, so the amount is likely small.
- Contains exfoliating acids (Lactic Acid), which can make skin more sensitive to the sun. Use sunscreen during the day.
