Product Summary
Based on the ingredient list, we assess that "Eucerin - Sun Spray Transparent Sensitive Protect SPF 50" can provide reliable sun protection. It can protect from both UVA and UVB rays. This is great news because 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).
It should also be hydrating enough to use without an additional moisturizer during the day. 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). These filters typically give good sun protection and rarely leave a white cast, but they can be irritating for sensitive skin. The UV filters in this sunscreen are: tinosorb s 0.40% - 1.00%, uvinul a plus 2.50% - 3.70%, uvasorb heb 0.45% - 1.10%, octisalate 2.00% - 3.00% and uvinul t 0.95% - 1.45%.
Irritation risk
