Product summary
Based on the ingredient list, we assess that "Ultrasun - CLEAR SPRAY SPF30 - SPORTS FORMULA" 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).
