Common questions
Is Simple Invisible UV Fluid SPF50 fragrance-free?
Yes. No fragrance, essential oils or fragrance allergens are listed in its ingredients.
Does Simple Invisible UV Fluid SPF50 contain alcohol?
No drying alcohol (alcohol denat. or ethanol) is listed. It does contain cetyl alcohol: a fatty alcohol that softens and thickens the formula and isn't drying.
Is Simple Invisible UV Fluid SPF50 safe for fungal acne?
It contains 2 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (glyceryl stearate, peg-75 stearate). 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 Simple Invisible UV Fluid SPF50 suitable for sensitive skin?
Its ingredient list avoids the most common irritants: no fragrance, essential oils, drying alcohol or strong exfoliating acids are listed. Reactions are individual, so patch-test anything new.
