Product summary

We assess that "Kiehl's - Super Fluid Daily UV Defense Broad Spectrum SPF 50+" 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).

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.

This is a so-called "chemical" sunscreen. It means that it uses organic UV filters.

These are the sun protection ingredients in this sunscreen: oxybenzone 3.90% (declared), avobenzone 3.00% (declared), octisalate 3.20% (declared), homosalate 10.70% (declared) and octocrylene 6.00% (declared).
