Product summary

We believe that "La Roche-Posay - Anthelios Invisible Spray SPF30" 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.

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. These are the sun protection ingredients in this sunscreen: avobenzone 2.80% - 3.50%, mexoryl xl 0.25% - 0.45%, octisalate 3.40% - 4.10%, uvinul t 2.20% - 2.70%, homosalate 4.40% - 5.40% and octocrylene 1.80% - 2.30%.
