Based on the ingredient list, we assess that "Natura Siberica - Lab Biome Protection and Moisturising Screen SPF50" 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).
It contains good moisturizing ingredients and can double as a hydrating day cream. 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).

The UV filters in this sunscreen are: tinosorb s 3.00% - 3.70%, uvinul a plus 4.30% - 5.30%, octisalate 2.10% - 2.60% and uvinul t 2.50% - 3.10%.
