Product summary

We believe that "La Roche-Posay - Anthelios 60 Face Sunscreen for Combination Skin SPF 60" 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 contains good moisturizing ingredients and can double as a hydrating day cream.

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: oxybenzone 3.86% (declared), avobenzone 3.00% (declared), octisalate 3.21% (declared), homosalate 10.72% (declared) and octocrylene 6.00% (declared).
