Works for
Sun protectionSPF 70 · 5 UV filtersBroad spectrum
This product offers a good level of protection against both UVB and UVA rays.
This sunscreen uses organic (so-called "chemical") sunscreen filters. Organic, or "chemical" filters usually provide reliable sun protection and rarely leave a white cast. Sunscreens with organic filters can sting eyes.
Anti-agingAloe barbadensis leaf juice, Ascorbic acid + 1 moreWorks well
“Sea&Ski sunscreen sprays provide an Anti-aging, Quick Dri-Mist in an easy to use 360° locking cap.”
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.
Evens skin toneSide benefit · Ascorbic acid, Retinyl palmitateWorks well
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).
MoisturizingSide benefit · Simmondsia chinensis seed extract, Zea mays oil + 4 moreWorks
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: simmondsia chinensis seed extract, neopentyl glycol diheptanoate.
Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).

Product summary
We believe that "Sea&Ski - General Protection Spray Mist SPF70 Sunscreen, Twin Pack" can provide reliable sun protection based on the ingredients listed. 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).
Because it includes good moisturizing ingredients, it can also work as a hydrating day cream. This product prevents early signs of aging by protecting against sun damage (all broad spectrum sunscreens do that).
