American Crew Shaving Skincare All-In-One Face Balm , Broad Spectrum Spf 15

"American Crew - Shaving Skincare All-In-One Face Balm, Broad Spectrum Spf 15" offers broad spectrum protection. It means that it protects from both UVA and UVB rays (you can remember UVB as "burning" sunlight - they cause sunburn. You can remember UVA rays as "aging" - they do not lead to sunburn, but they cause photodamage and contribute to early signs of skin aging and hyperpigmentation). On the negative side, the SPF of it is not high enough. We recommend to use a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily.

This sunscreen should also be hydrating enough to use without an additional moisturizer during the day.

Sunscreen filters

This sunscreen uses so-called "chemical", or organic UV filters (organic simply means that their molecules contain atoms of carbon). These filters typically give good sun protection and rarely leave a white cast, but they can be irritating for sensitive skin. These are the sun protection ingredients in this sunscreen: oxybenzone 3.10% - 3.80%, avobenzone 2.00% - 2.50%, octinoxate 6.30% - 7.70% and octisalate 4.40% - 5.40%.
