Product summary

Based on the ingredient list, we assess that "Proto-col - Intense Protection Day Moisturiser SPF50" 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).

Its formula is also hydrating, so you might not need an additional moistruizer during the day. This product prevents early signs of aging by protecting against sun damage (all broad spectrum sunscreens do that).

Sunscreen filters

This is a "mixed" sunscreen in the sense that it uses both mineral and organic (so-called "chemical") sun filters. The organic filters in the product are: oxybenzone, tinosorb s, avobenzone, uvinul a plus, octisalate and octocrylene. As for the mineral filters, this sunscreen uses titanium dioxide.
