"Love Sun Body - Glow Natural Tinted Mineral Sunscreen Moisturizer SPF 30" does not provide enough UVA protection. UVA rays do not cause sunburn, but still damage the skin, leading to early signs of aging and pigmentation issues.
It contains good moisturizing ingredients and can double as a hydrating day cream.

This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives:
cocos nucifera oil, helianthus annuus seed oil.
Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the
skin. This is why an additional
product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best
results).

Anti-oxidation
This product contains antioxidants (rubus idaeus seed oil) that might be able to help
neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun).
There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.
A plant extract that may contain a small amount of essential oils. Might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals in skin
Sun protection
This product does not offer good protection against UVA rays.
This product can be considered "reef safe" because it does not contain the UV filters (oxybenzone and
octinoxate) that can be harmful to coral reefs when present in the water in high concentrations.
UVA I protection:UVA II protection:UVB protection:Photo stable:Ingredient typeMineral
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
Anti-aging
What does the product description say?
The genius of this formula is its ability to serve as your everyday tinted moisturizer, your anti-aging BB Cream with SPF 30 broad spectrum protection and also as a tinted mineral face sunscreen that guarantees no white residue because its four shades were formulated to blend with almost every skin tone.
This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin
elasticity,
but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be
able to repair the sun damage better.
This ingredient rubus idaeus seed oil might be able to help neutralize free radicals
in skin and help it fight off some of the sun damage.
The biggest anti-aging effect in this product comes from sun protection. Sun damage is the main factor causing
early signs of skin aging. We, however, do not recommend using this product as a sunscreen because the
protection it offers is not strong enough).
