Product summary

Based on the ingredient list, we assess that "Kao - Biore UV Athlizm Skin Protect Essence SPF 50+ PA++++" can provide reliable sun protection. 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).

Because it includes good moisturizing ingredients, it can also work as a hydrating day cream. Like all broad-spectrum sunscreens, this product helps prevent early signs of aging.

Sunscreen filters

This is a so-called "chemical" sunscreen. It means that it uses organic UV filters. They typically offer good sun protection and rarely leave a white cast, but they can be irritating for some people with sensitive skin. Here are the exact UV filters in this sunscreen: tinosorb s 1.60% - 1.90%, uvinul a plus 2.00% - 2.50%, octinoxate 4.60% - 5.70% and uvinul t 3.60% - 4.30%.

Irritation risk
