What is sunscreen without parabens?

Parabens are sometimes used in sunscreen (and other cosmetics) to improve shelf life. They help prevent the growth of mold and bacteria that could be harmful to health. According to official European regulations, parabens are considered safe to use in cosmetics up to a certain amount. Based on this, many people consider them safe to use.

However, there is also a different view from people who believe parabens may not be safe because they could have hormone-disrupting effects. For this reason, many people prefer to buy sunscreen without parabens to protect their skin from the sun. Little Wonderland sells many sunscreens that are guaranteed to be paraben free. On our website you can easily see which sunscreens are paraben free. You can also check the INCI list yourself if you want to be completely sure: parabens are easy to recognize by their name ending in -paraben.

Sunscreen without parabens?

Sunscreen is extremely important. Whether you prefer sunscreen without parabens or natural sun protection, always use sunscreen to prevent sunburn and skin damage. UV-A radiation causes deeper wrinkles, premature skin aging and the breakdown of collagen. Over time, exposure to the sun can even increase the risk of skin cancer.

Little Wonderland sells many sunscreens without parabens that instead use other, more natural preservatives. We offer popular Korean skincare brands such as Purito, Klairs and Pyunkang Yul.
