This product does not offer good protection against UVA rays.
This product can be considered "reef safe" because it does not contain the UV filters (oxybenzone and octinoxate) that can be harmful to coral reefs when present in the water in high concentrations.
MoisturizingSide benefit the brand mentions · Carthamus tinctorius seed oil, Caprylic/capric triglyceride + 10 moreWorks
“The skin is thus effectively protected against sun damage.The cocktail of 3 vegetable oils (flax, safflower, passion fruit) contributes to the suppleness and hydration of the skin.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: caprylic/capric triglyceride, carthamus tinctorius seed oil.
Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).
