Product summary

Based on the ingredients included, we believe that "Lancaster - Sun Beauty Velvet Milk SPF30" can offer 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).

As a plus, this sunscreen uses some of the new generation UV filters (Tinosorb M). These filters are more stable and more gentle on the skin.

This product should also be hydrating enough to use without an additional moisturizer during the day. Like all broad-spectrum sunscreens, this product helps prevent early signs of aging.

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. Here are the exact UV filters in this sunscreen: tinosorb s 1.00% - 1.20%, avobenzone 3.10% - 3.80%, uvasorb heb 0.45% - 0.70%, octinoxate 1.30% - 1.60%, tinosorb m 0.55% - 0.85% and octocrylene 0.55% - 0.80%.
