"AROMATICA - Soothing Aloe Mineral Sunscreen SPF50/PA++++" uses a single UV filter (zinc oxide) in a relatively low concentration and might not be able to provide reliable sun protection.

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

This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.

The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water. When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job: glycerin, aloe barbadensis extract.

This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: copernicia cerifera wax, limnanthes alba seed oil.

Sun protection
