Product summary

We believe that "Nivea Japan - UV Deep Protect & Care Gel SPF 50+ PA++++" can provide reliable sun protection based on the ingredients listed. 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 has an anti-aging benefit.

Sunscreen filters

This is a so-called "chemical" sunscreen. It means that it uses organic UV filters. They typically offer good sun protection and rarely leave a white cast, but they can be irritating for some people with sensitive skin. The UV filters in this sunscreen are: tinosorb s 1.90% - 2.40%, uvinul a plus 2.50% - 3.00%, octinoxate 4.20% - 5.20%, uvinul t 1.40% - 1.70% and polysilicone-15 1.00% - 1.20%.
