What does this mean? Yes, all California Tan sunscreens are PAPA-free, meaning they do not contain PABA or derivatives of PABA. PABA is a sunscreen ingredient that was used a long time ago. While it was a wonderfully efficient sunscreen it could also be irritating to the skin. Therefore sun and skin care manufacturers almost never use this ingredient any more since there are now many more sunscreens to choose from.
