A broad-spectrum sun cream formulated with a combination of organic UV filters: homosalate and octocrylene provide UVB protection, while butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane (avobenzone) and diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate (Uvinul A Plus) cover the UVA spectrum. These last two filters act synergistically, with Uvinul A Plus also helping to stabilize avobenzone, reputed to be photolabile. The texture is light and non-greasy thanks to C12-15 alkyl benzoate and PPG-15 stearyl ether, low-residue emollients. Denatured alcohol promotes rapid evaporation and a dry finish. Hydroxypropyl cellulose and acrylates/octylacrylamide copolymer ensure film hold and water resistance. With SPF 20, this product is suitable for daily protection for skin of medium to dark complexion, or for moderate sun exposure. It is not recommended for prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, or for light phototypes requiring enhanced protection.

the composition isn't great, but what a sun cream! I don't burn at all, even if I use it at the start of the vacations.
