This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: copernicia cerifera wax, theobroma cacao seed butter.
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).

Product summary
"Caudalie - Vinosun Protect Invisible High Protection Antioxidant Stick SPF50" is using UV filters in a relatively low concentration. Because of this, it might not be able to provide reliable sun protection.

The UV filters in this sunscreen are: tinosorb s 1.80% - 2.70%, uvinul a plus 2.60% - 3.90% and uvinul t 1.20% - 1.80%.
