Product summary

Based on the ingredient list, we assess that "OARS + ALPS - Hydrating Antioxidant SPF 70 Spray" 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.

Sunscreen filters

This is a so-called "chemical" sunscreen. It means that it uses organic UV filters.

Here are the exact UV filters in this sunscreen: avobenzone 2.90% (declared), butyloctyl salicylate 7.10% - 10.60%, octisalate 4.90% (declared), homosalate 9.80% (declared) and octocrylene 9.50% (declared).
