Product Summary
We do not recommend "Elizabeth Arden - Eight Hour Cream Lip Protectant Stick Sheer Tint SPF15" because it does not provide good UVA protection. UVA sun rays don't burn the skin, but they still lead to photoaging and hyperpigmentation.
Sunscreen filters
This is a "mixed" sunscreen in the sense that it uses both mineral and organic (so-called "chemical") sun filters. The organic filters in the product are: oxybenzone. As for the mineral filters, this sunscreen uses titanium dioxide.
