The ingredient list suggests that "Heliocare 360° - Heliocare Gelcream Colour Light 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).
This sunscreen uses a mixture of both mineral and organic (so-called "chemical") UV filters. The organic filters in the product are: tinosorb s, avobenzone, uvasorb heb, octisalate, uvinul t and polysilicone-15. As for the mineral filters, this sunscreen uses titanium dioxide.
