This product offers broad spectrum sun protection, but it is weak. We recommend to use a broad spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30.

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.

What the product description says
“Natural Spf-15 Moisturizing Day Cream By Herbal Choice Mari - Made With Organic Ingredients - No Toxic Synthetic Chemicals”
Source: Walmart

Does not contain the most effective ingredients for moisturization. The emollients (olea europaea fruit oil) can help soften the upper layer of the skin. Keep in mind though that this product lacks humectants that attract water. You might want to use a separate product with ingredients like hyaluronic acid or glycerin in addition (use before this product for the best results).
