This product offers a good level of protection against both UVB and UVA rays.

MoisturizingSide benefit · Simmondsia chinensis seed extract, Neopentyl glycol diheptanoate + 2 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
The ingredient list suggests that this product can provide reliable sun protection. 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 should also be hydrating enough to use without an additional moisturizer during the day. 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).

The UV filters in this sunscreen are: avobenzone 3.30% - 4.90%, octisalate 3.90% - 5.80%, homosalate 5.30% - 7.90% and octocrylene 4.70% - 7.00%.
