Product summary

Based on the ingredient list, we assess that "Piz Buin - Allergy Sun Sensitive Skin Face Cream - High SPF30" can provide reliable sun protection. We love that it can protect from both UVA and UVB rays (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).

As a plus, this sunscreen uses some of the new generation UV filters (Tinosorb M). These filters are more stable and more gentle on the skin.

It also works as a moisturizer, so you do not have to use an additional hydrating product. 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. They typically offer good sun protection and rarely leave a white cast, but they can be irritating for some people with sensitive skin. Here are the exact UV filters in this sunscreen: tinosorb s 0.55% - 0.85%, avobenzone 1.60% - 1.90%, uvinul a plus 0.60% - 0.90%, octisalate 4.70% - 5.80%, tinosorb m 0.75% - 1.10% and octocrylene 3.70% - 4.50%.
