Why Choosing Cleansers and Lotions That are Paraben, Fragrance, and Alcohol Free Could Be Right For Your Skin

Selecting the correct skincare products is an important step in maintaining healthy-looking, radiant skin. A key consideration is whether to choose paraben- and fragrance-free products, such as fragrance-free body lotions or cleansers, as well as using products that don’t contain drying alcohol. While each of these ingredients offers specific benefits, it's important to be aware of their potential downsides.1,2 Let’s explore what these are.

Understanding parabens, fragrances, and alcohol in skincare

Parabens, fragrances, and alcohol are commonly found in many skincare products. Understanding the role of these ingredients in skincare helps you to make informed choices about the products you use. Here’s what you need to know:

Parabens in skincare

Parabens have long been a common ingredient in skincare products. These chemicals help extend a product's shelf life and prevent the growth of harmful bacteria and molds.1-3 However, in recent years, many consumers have chosen to avoid products containing parabens due to speculations that parabens might lead to skin irritation and accelerate skin aging.1


So far, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not found conclusive evidence to support these claims, and parabens are considered safe for use in cosmetics at low concentrations.2


At Cetaphil, a dermatologist-recommended brand, the majority of products are formulated without parabens, including paraben-free body lotions. This choice reflects a commitment to customers’ expectations for gentle and effective skincare solutions. While some products may still incorporate parabens when necessary for product stability and safety, Cetaphil takes great care to exclude them when alternatives can achieve the same results.

Fragrances in focus

IFragrances can add a pleasant touch to skincare products. However, they can also be a double-edged sword as some fragrances could trigger unwanted reactions for some skin types, including redness, itchiness, or inflammation.3,4


Cetaphil understands the importance of catering to diverse skincare needs. That's why Cetaphil offers you a range of fragrance-free products, including fragrance-free body lotions, designed to address the concerns of those with skin which is sensitive to some fragrances.


It's important to note that while fragrance-free products can be an excellent choice for individuals that don’t like scents, all Cetaphil products are formulated with skin sensitivity in mind. Cetaphil’s gentle and effective formulations allow everyone to enjoy the benefits of Cetaphil products, whether they prefer fragrance-free options or not.

The alcohol argument

Alcohols include a broad group of chemicals, each with its distinct name and effects on the skin. When it comes to alcohols in skincare, it's important to differentiate between drying alcohols that can be harsh on the skin and those with larger molecules that offer various skin benefits.

Drying alcohols

Certain alcohols, such as ethanol, denatured alcohol, and isopropyl alcohol,5 are commonly used in skincare products for their quick-drying properties. While they may serve this purpose, they have the potential to disrupt the skin barrier and cause redness, irritation, and inflammation, particularly in individuals with sensitive skin or when used excessively.6 That’s why they are often referred to as "drying" alcohols.

Large alcohol molecules

Long chain alcohols, such as panthenol (a form of vitamin B5) and fatty alcohols like cetyl alcohol and stearyl alcohol, are larger molecules and offer several benefits for the skin.3,7 Fatty alcohols are effective at sealing in moisture and helping repair the skin barrier.3 For example, cetyl alcohol traps water on the skin by forming a layer, which can be beneficial for dry skin.8 Panthenol is renowned for its moisturizing properties and also helps lock in hydration, while supporting skin barrier.9 To learn more about the advantages of panthenol, you can explore our article on Panthenol for Skin.


Additionally, it's worth noting that phenoxyethanol, a larger alcohol molecule, is often used as a preservative in skincare products as an alternative to parabens. It's considered safe and effective in maintaining product quality and safety.3,7

Identifying paraben, fragrance, and drying alcohol-free body lotions and cleansers

When it comes to selecting paraben-, fragrance-, and drying alcohol-free body lotions and cleansers, reading and understanding ingredient lists is a valuable skill. Here are some practical tips for deciphering Cetaphil product labels:

Alcohol-free

When you see "alcohol-free" on a skincare product, it generally means that it does not contain the drying alcohol known as ethyl alcohol.5 However, it's essential to check the ingredient list to confirm the absence of other potentially drying alcohols. Cetaphil offers many “alcohol-free” body lotions.

Paraben-free

To identify paraben-free Cetaphil products, look for ingredient lists that do not include words like "methylparaben" or "propylparaben."2 Cetaphil is committed to offering a range of paraben-free body lotions for those who prefer to avoid these preservatives.

Fragrance-free

Cetaphil products that don’t contain scent, such as fragrance-free body lotions, will explicitly state "fragrance-free" on the label. Additionally, you can inspect the ingredient list for the absence of terms like "fragrance" or "parfum."

Tips for choosing paraben, fragrance, and drying alcohol-free cleansers and lotions

Understanding the ingredients in your products requires a bit of research and knowledge, but it's well worth the effort. It empowers you to select the best options for your skin's specific needs. Here are some tips to further guide you:

Know your skin type

Understanding your skin type is the foundational step in selecting the correct skincare products. Whether you have oily, dry, combination, or sensitive skin, your skin type dictates its unique needs and sensitivities. To determine your skin type, consider using tools like the Cetaphil AI Skin Analysis. This innovative tool provides personalized insights into your skin's characteristics and recommends suitable products tailored to your specific needs.

Choosing a cleanser

Selecting the right cleanser is crucial for maintaining clean and healthy skin. Here's what to look for when choosing a cleanser, tailored to different skin types:

Dry to normal, sensitive skin

If you have dry or sensitive skin, opt for a gentle cleanser that won't disrupt your skin's natural character and thus your skin barrier.10 Cetaphil offers a range of fragrance-free cleansers including Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser and Cetaphil Ultra Gentle Wash Fragrance Free.

Combination to oily, normal skin

For combination to oily, normal skin types, a cleanser that effectively removes excess oil and debris without over-drying is ideal.9 Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser -Fragrance Free is formulated for combination to oily, sensitive skin, ensuring a fresh and balanced complexion.

Breakout-prone skin

If you're dealing with breakout-prone skin, consider a cleanser that targets surface oil10 such as Cetaphil's fragrance-free cleanser - Cetaphil Gentle Clear complexion - Clearing BPO Acne Cleanser, which is designed to address the needs of breakout-prone skin.


All of these Cetaphil products are not only formulated without fragrance, but they are also free of parabens or drying-out alcohols, ensuring that your skin remains clean and comfortable without unnecessary irritation. Choosing a cleanser tailored to your specific skin type sets the stage for a successful skincare routine, helping you achieve a fresh and radiant complexion.

Selecting moisturizers: creams and lotions

When it comes to choosing moisturizers, both creams and lotions can provide essential hydration for your skin. Choosing the right moisturizer ensures that your skin remains supple, healthy-looking, and comfortable. If you’re looking for the best paraben free body lotion, take a look at Cetaphil’s range of body lotions - many of which don’t contain parabens. For combination, sensitive skin, Cetaphil Daily Hydrating Lotion offers lightweight hydration for your face and body without clogging pores and for very dry to dry, sensitive skin types, Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream provides rich and long-lasting hydration.

 

Additionally, if you're dealing with rough and bumpy, sensitive skin, and you’re looking for a fragrance- and alcohol-free body lotion to address these concerns, try Cetaphil Daily Smoothing Moisturizer for Rough and Bumpy Skin. It’s also mineral oil free and won’t clog your pores.

These glands produce oil and can be influenced by both hormonal and environmental factors, leading to some people having oil imbalances.</p><p><br></p><p>Face cream addresses these unique needs; for example, <a href=\"https://www.cetaphil.com/us/moisturizers/daily-oil-free-facial-moisturizer-spf-35/302994113002.html\" target=\"_self\" data-link-type=\"product\" data-link-label=\"302994113002\" data-product-id=\"302994113002\">Cetaphil Daily Facial Moisturizer SPF 35</a> — for all skin types, including those with sensitive skin — is formulated to help protect facial skin from sun damage as well as assist in maintaining optimal levels of hydration.</p><p><br></p><p>Face cream is typically a lighter formulation than body cream and contains unique ingredients, catering to the most sensitive areas of facial skin. For example, <a href=\"https://www.cetaphil.com/us/moisturizers/rich-hydrating-cream/302993889021.html\" target=\"_self\" data-link-type=\"product\" data-link-label=\"302993889021\" data-product-id=\"302993889021\">Rich Hydrating Cream</a>, containing both hyaluronic and linoleic acids, instantly rehydrates and helps strengthen the skin's natural moisture barrier to soothe skin from overnight dryness.

That’s why understanding the differences between them is crucial in finding the right treatment that works for you. So, what exactly is the difference between dry and dehydrated skin?</p><p><br></p><p>Dry skin tends to be associated with other skin conditions and tends to appear rough, dry, and flaky. If you have dry skin, it’s quite likely that you’ll have virtually invisible pores and a complexion that can look dull and rough. You may also suffer from itchy skin.

In addition, the pH levels in water can be damaging to the skin; the average pH level of water is a 7. The optimal pH value for the skin on the face and body lies between 4.7 and 5.75. A pH of 7 (that of pure water) is considered neutral. Anything below that is acidic and above is alkaline, so, skin’s natural pH is mildly acidic.

However, using hyaluronic acid can cause a smoothing effect and has been shown to reduce skin roughness.[2]</p><p><br></p><h3>Anti-Aging</h3><p>Almost half of the body’s hyaluronic acid is found within the skin. Changes in this level of hyaluronic acid throughout the aging process can lead to the appearance of wrinkles. However, using topical hyaluronic acid may boost the elasticity of skin which can act to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.</p>", "headerClass" : false, "fontColor" : "#5E656B" } }, { "id" : "805f6778b944f0247cc69087c5", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.spacer", "data" : { "spacerSize" : "32" } }, { "id" : "c2287f2f171786ba61ca78684a", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.editorialRichText", "data" : { "textAlign" : "Left", "richText" : "<h2>What to Consider When Choosing a Hyaluronic Acid Product</h2>", "headerClass" : false, "fontColor" : "#004987" } }, { "id" : "c1ba86b1ee4b80552eee8fb565", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.spacer", "data" : { } }, { "id" : "e056007e453d5135adb46b3766", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.editorialRichText", "data" : { "textAlign" : "Left", "richText" : "<p>There are an overwhelming number of different skincare products which contain hyaluronic acid. However, not all these products contain the same type and concentration of hyaluronic acid, which means they have different effects on the skin. To achieve the results you desire, it’s important to consider some of these factors when choosing a skincare product:</p><p><br></p><h3>Alcohols</h3><p>When certain alcohols are in skincare products, they can counteract the moisturizing ability of hyaluronic acid. They can have a drying effect which can reduce the skin’s plumpness and even lead to cracks forming within the skin; this hinders the skin-boosting ability of hyaluronic acid.</p><p><br></p><p>Smaller concentrations of alcohol are better for products containing hyaluronic acid. Sometimes ingredients are listed in order of concentration but they can also be listed alphabetically.</p><p><br></p><h3>Fragrances</h3><p>Skincare products can sometimes contain added fragrances. For some skin types, these can lead to skin irritation. If you have a skin type that is sensitive to fragrances, consider <a href=\"https://www.cetaphil.com/us/moisturizers/sheer-hydration-body-spray-moisturizer/302990117066.html\" target=\"_self\" data-link-type=\"product\" data-link-label=\"302990117066\" data-product-id=\"302990117066\">Sheer Body Spray Moisturizer</a> for your body or <a href=\"https://www.cetaphil.com/us/moisturizers/deep-hydration-48-hour-activation-serum/302990117004.html\" target=\"_self\" data-link-type=\"product\" data-link-label=\"302990117004\" data-product-id=\"302990117004\">Deep Hydration 48 Hour Activation Serum</a> for your face. Both products are fragrance-free and enriched with both hyaluronic acid and soothing blue daisy; these ingredients can be used to hydrate skin areas that are sensitive.</p><p><br></p><h3>Water Content</h3><p>For products containing hyaluronic acid, water content can be a complementary component.

But not all exfoliating ingredients are right for all skin types. </span></p><p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">Take a closer look at those formulas and you’ll see that they’re not all designed for daily use –– let alone twice a day! </span><em style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">Especially</em><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\"> for sensitive skin.</span></p><p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">&nbsp;</span></p><h4><strong style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">Get to Know Your Ingredients </strong></h4><p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">So what are the most common chemical ingredients used to exfoliate sensitive skin?</span></p><p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\"></span></p><ul><li><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">AHAs (glycolic, lactic, mandelic, and tartaric acid)</span></li><li><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">BHAs (salicylic acid) </span></li><li><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">PHAs (gluconolactone, lactobionic acid, and galactose)</span></li><li><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">Enzymes (sourced from Pineapple and Papaya)</span></li></ul><p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">Chemical exfoliants like AHAs, BHAs, and PHAs do a great job of removing dirt and impurities from your face, unclogging pores, and preventing future breakouts. </span></p><p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">If you have sensitive skin, look for PHAs in particular, which tend to be the most gentle and irritate skin the least. </span></p><p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">As for all those “acids,” there’s nothing wrong with using them in your routine, but it’s important to look at the percentages too. </span></p><p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\"> </span></p><p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">Let’s take salicylic acid, for example. Some formulas range anywhere from 0.5% to 5.0% salicylic acid; however, if you have sensitive skin, you want to shoot for formulas in the 0.5-2.0% range so you don’t irritate your skin. </span></p><p><strong style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">&nbsp;</strong></p><h4><strong style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">How Do You Know if You’re Over-Exfoliating? </strong></h4><p><strong style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\"> </strong></p><p><strong style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\"></strong></p><p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">Exfoliating can be so beneficial to your routine! But how do you know if you’re overdoing it? Look for these signs:</span></p><p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">&nbsp;</span></p><ul><li><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">Irritation, like burning or stinging</span></li><li><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">Inflammation, like red patches or swelling</span></li><li><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">Breakouts or clusters of small pimples</span></li><li><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">Increased dryness, like peeling or flaking</span></li><li><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">Tight, waxy-looking skin</span></li></ul><p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">&nbsp;</span></p><h4><em style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">“According to our dermatologists, you should only </em></h4><h4><em style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">exfoliate </em><strong style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\"><em>a maximum of 1-2 times per week</em></strong><em style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">.” </em></h4><p><br></p><p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">Stick with exfoliating </span><em style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">once a week</em><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\"> –– twice if your sensitive skin can tolerate it, but no more. </span></p><p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">Another skin tip: Exfoliating before bedtime can be beneficial so that your skin has more time to recover overnight –– and, more importantly, avoid sun exposure afterward. </span></p><p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">&nbsp;</span></p><h4><strong style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">Never Skip Your SPF</strong></h4><p><strong style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\"> </strong></p><p><strong style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\"></strong></p><p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">We all know the benefits of using a daily SPF, and it’s an essential part of protecting your sensitive skin from damaging UV rays when you use exfoliants. Especially since sun exposure can cause or increase skin sensitivity after exfoliating.</span></p><p><strong style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">&nbsp;</strong></p><h4><strong style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">So You’ve Over-Exfoliated.

It also helps to keep pores clear by preventing the accumulation of debris that often leads to blackheads and whiteheads and it can help to manage breakouts.<sup>6,7</sup>\n</p>\n</br>\n<p>\nYou can easily integrate salicylic acid into your skincare through various products, for instance <a href=\"/cleansers/acne-relief-body-wash/302994121007.html\">Cetaphil Acne Relief Body Wash</a>, contains salicylic acid and provides a practical solution for tackling body acne. Consistent and thoughtful application of salicylic acid contributes to a visibly clearer and healthier-looking complexion.

Firstly, identify your skin type—whether it's oily, dry, combination, or sensitive. You can do this with the help of our <a href=\"/cetaphil.com/skin-analysis.html\">AI Skin Analyzer tool</a>. Then choose the acids that align with your needs.\n</p>\n</br>\n<p>\nWhen introducing acids into your skincare routine, start slowly to allow your skin to get used to a new ingredient. It's generally advisable to incorporate acids into your nighttime routine, providing enough time for your skin to recover and benefit from their effects.\n</p>\n</br>\n<p>\nSunscreen is paramount when using acids. Although adverse reactions to AHAs mainly occur with so-called skin peelers, while using AHAs your skin might be more sensitive to UV.<sup>3,7,8</sup> Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 during the day, even if you're not directly exposed to sunlight. Check the full <a href=\"/sunscreens\">Cetaphil sunscreens porfolio</a>.\n</p>\n</br>\n<p>\nBefore incorporating acids, patch testing is essential to gauge potential reactions. Some side effects like redness, tingling, or irritation can be normal initially, but persistent discomfort warrants attention. If side effects persist or worsen, seeking professional advice is advisable. If you don’t know how to patch test skincare products, simply apply the product you want to test behind your ear or where you’re most sensitive and wait for a day or so to see if it gives you problems. \n</p>\n</br>\n<p>\nAdditionally, for those unfamiliar with skincare routines guides on our <a href=\"/skincare-tips/routines\">routines</a> page, help you find your daily skincare routine.\n</p>\n</div>\n</br>" } }, { "id" : "fcf0c5efe4ce6bd1394434502e", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.htmlArea", "data" : { "htmlmarkup" : "<div style=\"color: #073275;\">\n<h2>How to use acids with other skincare products? </h2>\n</div>\n<div style=\"color: #5E656B;\">\n<p>\nWhen using acids in conjunction with other skincare products, the order of application is important for optimal results. Start with a gentle cleanser to prepare the skin. Next, apply your acid product, whether it's salicylic acid for exfoliation or another acid targeting specific concerns. Follow this with any serums, allowing the key ingredients to penetrate. Moisturizers and sunscreen should come next to lock in hydration and help reinforce the skin barrier.\n</p>\n</br>\n<p>\nLayering acids with other active ingredients could help with how effective the ingredients are, for example layering products with vitamins and hyaluronic acid.<sup>2,9</sup> However, it’s always important to consider potential interactions. So if you don’t know what skincare products not to mix, it's advisable to use only one acid at a time and speak to your dermatologist about using more than one together. \n</p>\n</br>\n<p>\nFor more in-depth guidance on the science behind dermatologist-recommended skincare, explore our <a href=\"/why-cetaphil/dermatologist-recommended.html\">dermatologist based science</a> page. \n</p>\n</div>\n</br>" } }, { "id" : "c0f72fc7115e09a1b4b0661d64", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.spacer", "data" : { } }, { "id" : "96e54723de161efa7355aea4df", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.editorialRichText", "data" : { "textAlign" : "Left", "richText" : "<h2>The bottom line</h2>", "headerClass" : false, "fontColor" : "#073275" } }, { "id" : "f7dae0333ec31a1a41e3464145", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.spacer", "data" : { } }, { "id" : "14e966db9aff22c7e01965df66", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.editorialRichText", "data" : { "textAlign" : "Left", "richText" : "<p>Whether opting for citric acid's brightening effects, lactic acid's moisturizing benefits, or salicylic acid's pore-clearing prowess, selecting acids tailored to your skin type and understanding their unique properties is key.

Beyond its hydrating properties, glycerin also contributes to skin barrier improvement, resulting in a more even and youthful-looking skin on your hands.<sup>6,7</sup>\n</p>\n</br>\n<p>\nLook at our <a href=\"/our-ingredients/glycerin.html\">glycerin</a> ingredients page for further information on glycerin and its benefits to your skin.\n</p>\n</div>\n</br>" } }, { "id" : "2d966fd7d08e0cec856a0f1961", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.htmlArea", "data" : { "htmlmarkup" : "<div style=\"color: #073275;\">\n<h3>Urea</h3>\n</div>\n<div style=\"color: #5E656B;\">\n<p>\nUrea is another valuable skincare ingredient with multiple benefits for your hands.

This response leads to the classic symptoms of sunburn, such as pain and redness, which is often accompanied by warmth and tenderness, and in severe cases swelling and blistering.<sup>4</sup> Blisters can be very painful.\n</p>\n</br>\n<p>\nThe severity of a sunburn depends on the intensity and duration of UV exposure and the level of sun protection you use, however, skin tone can also be a factor. Fair or light-skinned people can burn more easily due to less melanin in their skin, which is a protective pigment.<sup>4</sup> \n</p>\n</div>\n\n</br>\n\n<div style=\"color: #073275;\">\n<h3>Why can sunburn appear purple?</h3>\n</div>\n<div style=\"color: #5E656B;\">\n<p>\nOver time, UV damage to the skin can lead to a condition known as solar purpura or actinic purpura. Solar purpura is more commonly observed in older people, as it is a long-term consequence of chronic UV damage. Approximately 12 percent of people above the age of 50 are affected.<sup>5</sup>\n</p>\n</br>\n<p>\nThis condition is characterized by the appearance of small, flat, purple or red spots on the skin. They predominantly appear on areas of the body that receive significant sun exposure, such as the back of the hands, forearms, neck, and face. The blood vessels under the skin's surface weaken, which makes them more prone to rupture and leakage. As a result, small amounts of blood seep into the surrounding tissue, leading to the typical purple spots seen in solar purpura.<sup>5</sup> \n</p>\n</div>\n\n</br>\n\n<div style=\"color: #073275;\">\n<h3>What are other effects of sunburn?</h3>\n</div>\n<div style=\"color: #5E656B;\">\n<p>\nSunburn not only causes immediate discomfort, but also poses long-term risks to our health. Prolonged or intense exposure to UV radiation damages the DNA within our skin cells, increasing the likelihood of developing cancerous cells. Melanoma, the most dangerous form of skin cancer, is particularly associated with sunburn and unprotected sun exposure. If you experience five or more sunburns, or only one single blistering sunburn, it approximately doubles your risk of developing melanoma later in life.<sup>6</sup>\n</p>\n</br>\n<p>\nSunburn also accelerates the aging process of the skin, as the harmful UV rays break down the collagen and elastin fibers that give our skin its elasticity and firmness. As a result, sunburns can lead to development of wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots.<sup>1,6</sup> \n</p>\n</br>\n<p>\nSince sunburn damages the outermost layer of the skin, it can also lead to peeling, dryness, and flakiness and in some cases, the skin may develop discoloration or uneven pigmentation.\n</p>\n</br>\n<p>\nIf you have severe sunburn, and you feel cold, tired or nauseous, you may have heatstroke, so it’s important to seek medical attention.<sup>7</sup>\n</p>\n</div>" } }, { "id" : "1cf758031f55229e62233de0a9", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.editorialRichText", "data" : { "textAlign" : "Left", "richText" : "<h2>How to prevent sunburn?</h2>", "headerClass" : false, "fontColor" : "#073275" } }, { "id" : "77253dc52cd99f182fa89ef4af", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.spacer", "data" : { } }, { "id" : "d43b19a2944133ef159fd4ad6e", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.editorialRichText", "data" : { "textAlign" : "Left", "richText" : "<p>You can effectively reduce the risk of sunburn by taking preventive measures, such as staying out of the sun during peak hours, seeking shade, and wearing protective clothing.
