Product summary

Based on the ingredient list, we assess that "NARS Cosmetics - NARS Radiance Primer SPF35" 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. Like all broad-spectrum sunscreens, this product helps prevent early signs of aging.

This sunscreen uses so-called "chemical", or organic UV filters (organic simply means that their molecules contain atoms of carbon).
