Does The Organic Pharmacy Cellular Protection Sunscreen SPF 30 contain parabens, sulfates or fragrance?
A straight yes or no for the ingredient groups people most often want to avoid, checked against this product's published formulation.

Preservatives; the longer-chain ones (propyl, butyl) carry the endocrine questions.

Slip and occlusion; cyclic silicones (D4/D5/D6) are the environmentally restricted ones.

Free from formaldehyde releasers
Preservatives that slowly release formaldehyde.
Free from chemical uv filters of concern
Restricted or debated filters with endocrine or reef-persistence questions.
