romand Daily Sun Filter
Product summary
We assess that "romand - Daily Sun Filter" 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).
This sunscreen should also be hydrating enough to use without an additional moisturizer during the day. Like all broad-spectrum sunscreens, this product has an anti-aging benefit.
Sunscreen filters
This product is a mineral sunscreen. It uses titanium dioxide and zinc oxide for sun protection. Both titanium dioxide and zinc oxide almost never irritate even the most sensitive skin and eyes, but can leave a white cast.
Irritation risk
This sunscreen contains some common irritants, including those without a benefit for the skin. We assess the overall irritancy of it to be medium. For a detailed overview of all potential irritants: click here

Benefits
Promise: Sun protection
This product offers a good level of protection against both UVB and UVA rays.
It is a mineral sunscreen. In other words, it contains non-organic UV filters. It will probably not sting your eyes but might leave a white cast.
This product can be considered "reef safe" because it does not contain the UV filters (oxybenzone and octinoxate) that can be harmful to coral reefs when present in the water in high concentrations.
| Ingredient | Effectiveness | Concentration | Irritancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| titanium dioxide | HIGH |  |  |
| zinc oxide | HIGH | | |
Promise: Evens skin tone
What does the product description say?
Naturally brightens the skin tone with velvety finish.
This product offers broad spectrum sun protection. It means that it can prevent hyperpigmentation and help keep the skin tone even (sun damage is the main factor causing age spots, darkening of post-acne marks and other discolorations).
Other benefit: Anti-aging
This product can help prevent early signs of skin aging because it offers a good level of broad spectrum sun protection. Sun damage is the main cause of premature skin aging, and protecting your skin from the sun is the best anti-aging strategy.
| Ingredient | Effectiveness | Concentration | Irritancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| tocopherol | LOW |  | |
Other benefit: Moisturizing
What does the product description say?
A moisturizing sun filter, its watery and non-oily texture goes well with matte foundation.
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
cyclomethicone, fructooligosaccharides.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: cyclomethicone, vinyl dimethicone.
| Ingredient | Effectiveness | Concentration | Irritancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| vinyl dimethicone | HIGH | | |
| cyclomethicone | HIGH | | |
| fructooligosaccharides | HIGH | | |
