Product summary
The ingredient list suggests that "Ultra Violette - Lips Got Lit" can provide reliable sun protection. 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).

This sunscreen uses so-called "chemical", or organic UV filters (organic simply means that their molecules contain atoms of carbon).

These are the sun protection ingredients in this sunscreen: avobenzone 2.80% - 4.10%, octinoxate 5.40% - 8.00% and octocrylene 4.30% - 6.40%.
