Product summary

We assess that "Neutrogena - Kids Water-Resistant Oil-Free SPF 70+ Sunscreen Spray" can provide reliable sun protection based on the ingredient list. 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 is a so-called "chemical" sunscreen. It means that it uses organic UV filters.
