Based on the ingredient list, we assess that "Coola - Full Spectrum 360° Sun Silk Drops Organic Face Sunscreen SPF 30" 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).
Because it includes good moisturizing ingredients, it can also work as a hydrating day cream. Like all broad-spectrum sunscreens, this product helps prevent early signs of aging.
Sunscreen filters
This sunscreen uses so-called "chemical", or organic UV filters (organic simply means that their molecules contain atoms of carbon).

The UV filters in this sunscreen are: avobenzone 3.00% (declared), butyloctyl salicylate 5.70% - 8.50%, octisalate 4.00% (declared) and octocrylene 8.00% (declared).
