Product summary

The ingredient list suggests that "Garnier - Ambre Solaire Clear Protect Transparent Sun Cream Protection Spray SPF30" 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).

Like all broad-spectrum sunscreens, this product helps prevent early signs of aging.

Sunscreen filters

This is a so-called "chemical" sunscreen. It means that it uses organic UV filters. They typically offer good sun protection and rarely leave a white cast, but they can be irritating for some people with sensitive skin. Here are the exact UV filters in this sunscreen: avobenzone 3.30% - 4.90%, mexoryl xl 1.70% - 2.60%, octisalate 3.80% - 5.70%, uvinul t 1.90% - 2.90%, homosalate 4.80% - 7.10% and octocrylene 4.60% - 6.90%.

Irritation risk

There are quite a few common irritants in this product, including ingredients without particular skin benefits. We would not recommend it for sensitive skin. We assess the overall irritancy of this product to be high. For a detailed overview of all potential irritants: click here
