Product summary

The ingredient list suggests that "Olay - Total Effects Whip Light as Air SPF30 Moisturiser with Vitamin C and E Cream for Healthy-Looking Skin" 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).

It contains good moisturizing ingredients and can double as a hydrating day cream. This product prevents early signs of aging by protecting against sun damage (all broad spectrum sunscreens do that).

Sunscreen filters

This sunscreen uses so-called "chemical", or organic UV filters (organic simply means that their molecules contain atoms of carbon). These filters typically give good sun protection and rarely leave a white cast, but they can be irritating for sensitive skin. Here are the exact UV filters in this sunscreen: avobenzone 2.20% - 2.60%, octisalate 2.40% - 2.90%, homosalate 5.00% - 6.10% and octocrylene 3.50% - 4.30%.
