Product summary

Based on the ingredient list, we assess that "Shiseido - Sun Care Expert Sun: Protector Face & Body Cream SPF50+" 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 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 a mixture of both mineral and organic (so-called "chemical") UV filters. The organic filters in the product are: tinosorb s, avobenzone, uvinul a plus, octinoxate, octisalate and octocrylene. As for the mineral filters, this sunscreen uses titanium dioxide.
