Common questions
Is Garnier Summer Body Gradual Tan Moisturiser Deep fragrance-free?
No. Fragrance (listed as "Parfum") is the 27th of 27 ingredients.
Does Garnier Summer Body Gradual Tan Moisturiser Deep contain alcohol?
Yes. Alcohol denat., a drying alcohol, is the 6th of 27 ingredients, high enough to be a main ingredient. It makes products feel light and dry quickly, but can dry out or irritate sensitive skin. It also contains stearyl alcohol: a fatty alcohol that softens and thickens the formula and isn't drying.
Is Garnier Summer Body Gradual Tan Moisturiser Deep safe for fungal acne?
It contains 6 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (glyceryl stearate, peg-100 stearate, sorbitan oleate); polysorbates (polysorbate 80); plant oils & butters (prunus armeniaca kernel oil); and 1 more. How much they matter depends on the amount and the rest of the formula. The evidence comes mainly from lab studies of yeast growth, and fungal acne needs a diagnosis from a GP or dermatologist.
Is Garnier Summer Body Gradual Tan Moisturiser Deep suitable for sensitive skin?
It contains fragrance and drying alcohol high in the list, which can bother sensitive skin. Patch-test it before using it all over.
