Product summary

Based on the ingredient list, we assess that "Blue Lizard - Active Mineral-Based Sunscreen * SPF 50+ | Tube" can provide reliable sun protection. 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).

Its formula is also hydrating, so you might not need an additional moistruizer during the day. Like all broad-spectrum sunscreens, this product has an anti-aging benefit.

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: butyloctyl salicylate and octisalate. As for the mineral filters, this sunscreen uses both titanium dioxide and zinc oxide.
