MoisturizingNot advertised by the brand · 6 ingredients credited for this claimGood support
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: cocos nucifera fruit extract, caprylyl glycol.
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
We assess that "TONYMOLY - Magic Food Mild Mango Sun Block SPF 50+ Pa+++" 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).
Its formula is also hydrating, so you might not need an additional moistruizer during the day. Like all broad-spectrum sunscreens, this product helps prevent early signs of aging.
