Product summary

The ingredient list suggests that "La Roche-Posay - Expert Sun Protection for the Family SPF50+" 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).

Its formula is also hydrating, so you might not need an additional moistruizer during the day. This product prevents early signs of aging by protecting against sun damage (all broad spectrum sunscreens do that).

Sunscreen filters

This sunscreen uses so-called "chemical", or organic UV filters (organic simply means that their molecules contain atoms of carbon). These filters typically give good sun protection and rarely leave a white cast, but they can be irritating for sensitive skin. The UV filters in this sunscreen are: tinosorb s 0.45% - 0.65%, avobenzone 0.45% - 0.65%, mexoryl xl 0.45% - 0.65%, octisalate 0.45% - 0.65%, uvinul t 0.45% - 0.70%, homosalate 0.45% - 0.65%, octocrylene 0.35% - 0.65% and terephthalylidene dicamphor sulfonic acid 0.45% - 0.65%.
