Based on the ingredients included, we believe that "LifeJacket - SPF 50+ Sun Gel" 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. This product prevents early signs of aging by protecting against sun damage (all broad spectrum sunscreens do that).
Sunscreen filters
This is a so-called "chemical" sunscreen. It means that it uses organic UV filters.

Here are the exact UV filters in this sunscreen: tinosorb s 1.90% - 2.30%, avobenzone 2.00% - 2.50%, tinosorb m 2.40% - 3.00%, octocrylene 3.20% - 3.90% and tinosrob a2b 0.40% - 0.60%.
