This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: glycine soja oil, coco-caprylate/caprate.

Product summary
Based on the ingredient list, we assess that "SVR - Sun Secure Dry Oil SPF50+" 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).
This moisturizer 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).
