Product summary

Based on the ingredients included, we believe that "Ocean Potion - Moisturizing Lip Potion SPF 45" can offer 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).
