Product summary

We do not recommend "Alba Botanica - Fragrance Free Broad Spectrum Mineral Sunscreen SPF30" because it does not provide good UVA protection. UVA sun rays don't burn the skin, but they still lead to photoaging and hyperpigmentation.

Because it includes good moisturizing ingredients, it can also work as a hydrating day cream.

Sunscreen filters

This sunscreen uses a mixture of both mineral and organic (so-called "chemical") UV filters. Here are the organic filters this product uses: octisalate, homosalate and octocrylene. As for the mineral filters, this sunscreen uses titanium dioxide.
