We assess that "Aveeno - Baby Continuous Protection Sunblock Lotion, Spf 55" can provide reliable sun protection based on the ingredient list. We love that it can protect from both UVA and UVB rays (not all sunscreens with SPF ratings give UVA protection. UVA rays do not cause sunburn, but still damage our skin and lead to early aging).
It also works as a moisturizer, so you do not have to use an additional hydrating product. Like all broad-spectrum sunscreens, this product has an anti-aging benefit.

This sunscreen uses so-called "chemical", or organic UV filters (organic simply means that their molecules contain atoms of carbon).

Here are the exact UV filters in this sunscreen: oxybenzone 3.30% - 4.90%, avobenzone 22.00% - 34.00%, butyloctyl salicylate 1.00% - 1.50%, octisalate 4.60% - 6.80%, homosalate 4.70% - 7.00% and octocrylene 3.90% - 5.90%.
