Product summary

We believe that "Holika Holika - Aloe Soothing Essence Waterproof Sun Gel SPF50+" can provide reliable sun protection based on the ingredients listed. 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).

It also works as a moisturizer, so you do not have to use an additional hydrating product. Like all broad-spectrum sunscreens, this product helps prevent early signs of aging.

This sunscreen uses a mixture of both mineral and organic (so-called "chemical") UV filters. The organic filters in the product are: uvinul a plus, octinoxate, octisalate and homosalate. As for the mineral filters, this sunscreen uses titanium dioxide.
