Product summary

Based on the ingredient list, we assess that "Lancaster - Sun Beauty Satin Sheen Oil Fast Tan Optimiser Body SPF30" can provide reliable sun protection. It can protect from both UVA and UVB rays. This is great news because 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. These are the sun protection ingredients in this sunscreen: tinosorb s 1.80% - 2.70%, avobenzone 2.60% - 3.90%, uvasorb heb 0.80% - 1.20%, octinoxate 3.50% - 5.20%, octisalate 1.50% - 2.30% and octocrylene 4.80% - 7.20%.
