Product summary

We believe that "Diego Dalla Palma - UV Daily Primer Base SPF 50+ Pa++++ - White" can provide reliable sun protection based on the ingredients listed. 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).

As a plus, this sunscreen uses some of the new generation UV filters (Tinosorb M). These filters are more stable and more gentle on the skin.

Its formula is also hydrating, so you might not need an additional moistruizer during the day. This product prevents early signs of aging by protecting against sun damage (all broad spectrum sunscreens do that).

Sunscreen filters

This is a "mixed" sunscreen in the sense that it uses both mineral and organic (so-called "chemical") sun filters. Here are the organic filters this product uses: tinosorb s, uvinul a plus, octinoxate and tinosorb m. As for the mineral filters, this sunscreen uses titanium dioxide.

What can the product work for?

Sun protection

This product offers a good level of protection against both UVB and UVA rays.

It can leave a slight white cast. Unfortunately, it is not approved by the FDA (US) yet

Anti-aging

What does the product description say?

The face primer has an ultra-fluid, translucent texture that sits imperceptibly on the face, enhancing complexions with a youthful-looking glow.

This product can help prevent early signs of skin aging because it offers a good level of broad spectrum sun protection. Sun damage is the main cause of premature skin aging, and protecting your skin from the sun is the best anti-aging strategy.

tocopherol 0.25% - 0.45%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

Pure form of vitamin E. Can help moisturise and protect the skin from free radicals. Often used to help stabilise other ingredients or the formula itself

Evens skin tone

This product offers broad spectrum sun protection. It means that it can prevent hyperpigmentation and help keep the skin tone even (sun damage is the main factor causing age spots, darkening of post-acne marks and other discolorations).

Moisturizing

What does the product description say?

Enriched with the brand’s CityShield technology alongside conditioning Ylang Ylang Butter and Frangipani, the powerhouse product keeps the complexion supple and hydrated as it works to preserve the skin from sun-related damage.

This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.

The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water. When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job: glycerin, caprylyl glycol.

This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: cocos nucifera oil, c12-15 alkyl benzoate.

cocos nucifera oil 0.45% - 0.65%

Irritation risk: Comedogenicity: High

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

An emollient. Found to be as effective as a moisturizer for dry skin as mineral oil. Could be comedogenic

glycerin 0.3% - 0.6%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant

polyglyceryl-2 dipolyhydroxystearate 0.3% - 0.55%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps to soften the upper layer of the skin
