Product summary

We believe that "La Roche-Posay - Anthelios Ultra Comfort Cream SPF 50+" 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).

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