Product summary

Based on the ingredient list, we assess that "Skinfood - Sun Flower No Sebum Sun Gel SPF50+ PA++++" 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).

As a plus, this sunscreen uses some of the new generation UV filters (Tinosorb M). These filters are more stable and more gentle on the skin.

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).

Sunscreen filters

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: tinosorb s 2.10% - 2.60%, uvinul a plus 1.30% - 1.60%, octisalate 3.20% - 3.90%, homosalate 2.50% - 3.10%, tinosorb m 2.00% - 2.40% and polysilicone-15 1.50% - 1.90%.
