Product summary

Based on the ingredients included, we believe that "Heliocare 360° - Oil Free Gel" can offer 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 a mixture of both mineral and organic (so-called "chemical") UV filters. Here are the organic filters this product uses: tinosorb s, uvinul a plus, uvasorb heb, neo heliopan ap, uvinul t and ensulizole. As for the mineral filters, this sunscreen uses titanium dioxide.
