skinChemists London Pro-5 Collagen SPF50 Defensive Anti-Ageing Protecting Hydrating Sun Cream

The ingredient list suggests that "skinChemists - London Pro-5 Collagen SPF50 Defensive Anti-Ageing Protecting Hydrating Sun Cream" can provide reliable sun protection. 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).

It contains good moisturizing ingredients and can double as a hydrating day cream. This product prevents early signs of aging by protecting against sun damage (all broad spectrum sunscreens do that).

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. These are the sun protection ingredients in this sunscreen: oxybenzone 3.40% - 4.10%, avobenzone 2.50% - 3.10%, octinoxate 4.30% - 5.30% and octocrylene 6.10% - 7.50%.
