What does the product description say?
"Provides photo-stable, long-lasting protection."
From: Skinstore

WIMJ FORMULA ANALYSIS

Yes. Has good ingredients to seal in the moisture in the skin. But: it is not effective in attracting water to the skin, so you might want to use an additional product with good humectant ingredients (like glycerin or hyaluronic acid)

Pos Ingredient Name Description
1 titanium dioxide 6% Works as a UV filter when used in high concentrations. It is photostable and is effective mostly against the UVB light, with some protection in the UVA range. In small concentrations, used for its ability to improve the color of cosmetic products. Is usually well tolerated by the skin
2 zinc oxide 5% A broad spectrum sunblock (protects from both UVA and UVB rays). Is suitable for most sensitive skins. In small concentrations, can be used as a colorant
