Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration Sun Lotion SPF50

We assess that "Hawaiian Tropic - Silk Hydration Sun Lotion SPF50" can provide reliable sun protection based on the ingredient list. 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).

This product prevents early signs of aging by protecting against sun damage (all broad spectrum sunscreens do that).
