Product summary

"Hawaiian Tropic - Aloha Care Sun Protective Lotion SPF15" "is a broad spectrum sunscreen meaning that it protects both from UVB rays (" burning "- they cause sunburn) and UVA rays (" aging "- they don't cause sunburn but lead to premature aging and pigmentation issues). However, this moisturizer does not offer enough sun protection. We recommend to use a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily.

Because it includes good moisturizing ingredients, it can also work as a hydrating day cream.

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 2.00% - 2.50%, octisalate 6.10% - 7.40%, homosalate 3.20% - 3.90% and octocrylene 3.60% - 4.40%.
