Product summary

We believe that "Thank You Farmer - Sun Project Light Sun Essence SPF50+ PA+++ | Lightwight Moisturizing Sunscreen" can provide reliable sun protection based on the ingredients listed. 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).

Because it includes good moisturizing ingredients, it can also work as a hydrating day cream. This product prevents early signs of aging by protecting against sun damage (all broad spectrum sunscreens do that).

This is a so-called "chemical" sunscreen. It means that it uses organic UV filters.
