Product summary

We assess that "RITUALS - The Ritual of Namaste SPF 50 Daily Sun Protection" can provide reliable sun protection based on the ingredient list. 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 also works as a moisturizer, so you do not have to use an additional hydrating product. 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. The UV filters in this sunscreen are: tinosorb s 0.60% - 0.85%, uvinul a plus 5.70% - 6.90%, octisalate 1.70% - 2.10%, uvinul t 0.60% - 0.85%, ensulizole 0.70% - 1.00%, polysilicone-15 4.50% - 5.50% and tinosrob a2b 0.45% - 0.65%.
