This sunscreen uses organic (so-called "chemical") sunscreen filters. Organic, or "chemical" filters usually provide reliable sun protection and rarely leave a white cast. Sunscreens with organic filters can sting eyes.

Anti-agingNo ingredient credited for this claimWorks well
“It provides anti-wrinkle and whitening effects while protecting you from UV rays.”

MoisturizingSide benefit the brand mentions · Butylene glycol dicaprylate/dicaprate, Triethylhexanoin + 7 moreWorks
“It's packed with nourishing and moisturizing plant-based ingredients like sweet almond, lavender and calendula oils.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: methicone, borago officinalis seed oil.
Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).

Product summary
The ingredient list suggests that "THE FACE SHOP - Power Long-lasting Sunscreen Stick" 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).
Its formula is also hydrating, so you might not need an additional moistruizer during the day. 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 1.50% - 2.20%, uvinul a plus 0.90% - 1.40%, octinoxate 3.40% - 5.10% and octocrylene 2.50% - 3.80%.
Irritation risk
There are quite a few common irritants in this product, including ingredients without particular skin benefits. We would not recommend it for sensitive skin. We assess the overall irritancy of this moisturizer to be high. For a detailed overview of all potential irritants: click here
