Product Summary
We assess that "Soleil Noir - Vitamined Dry Oil SPF50 Spray" can provide reliable sun protection based on the ingredient list. 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 contains good moisturizing ingredients and can double as a hydrating day cream. Like all broad-spectrum sunscreens, this product has an anti-aging benefit.
Sunscreen filters
This is a so-called "chemical" sunscreen. It means that it uses organic UV filters. They typically offer good sun protection and rarely leave a white cast, but they can be irritating for some people with sensitive skin. Here are the exact UV filters in this sunscreen: tinosorb s 1.90% - 2.80%, avobenzone 0.60% - 1.35%, uvinul a plus 0.80% - 1.20% and uvinul t 2.20% - 3.30%.

Moisturizing
