This is a sunscreen for body and face. It absorbs well and doesn't leave an oily foil to the skin. It even moisturizes the skin with hydresia. It is water resistant for 40 minutes. The lotion is white and has no fragrance. It is made with oat protein and betaglucans so it should prevent signs of aging. It includes no parabens or nanoparticles.
A short guide to sunscreens here too. There are two kinds of different rays: UVB rays cause the burnt skin and UVA rays are related to skin cancer, aging and tanning. A good sunscreen has an SPF above 15 and contains ingredients that protect from both UVA and UVB rays (http://www.skincancer.org/prevention/uva-and-uvb/understanding-uva-and-uvb)so Kiss My Face fills this criteria very well.
The active ingredients are:
octinoxate 7.5% which protects from UVB rays.
octisalate 4.5 % which screens UVB rays and has water-resistant properties
zinc oxide 3% which filter UVB and UVA rays.
These are all accepted by the US Food and Drug Administration.
Inactive ingredients include: Aqua, cetearyl olivate, sorbitan olivate, polysorbate-20, helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed oil, glycerin, acrylates copolymer, cetearyl alcohol, stearic acid, xanthan gum, carthamus tinctorius (safflower) oleosomes, avena sativa (oat) protein, camellia sinensis (green tea) leaf extract, carota sativa (carrot) extract, avena sativa (oat) betaglucan, glycrrhiza glabra (licorice) extract, cucumis sativus (cucumber) extract, caprylic/capric triglyceride, phenoxyethanol, ethylhexylglycerin.
Remember to apply 2 tablespoons of sunscreen 30 minutes before going out to the sun. Then reapply sunscreen every two hours about 2-3 tablespoons and after swimming or sweating or drying with a towel. Rinse off with water.
The shape of the bottle is really handy and it doesn't mess because the cap stays put. There has been no animal testing and even the tube is made with 35% of consumer recycled materials. It lasts quite long with 118 ml or 4 ounces. but it depends if you put it on the entire body or just on arms and neck.
I am really happy with the product.

The Kiss My Face's Face Factor with SPF 30 is really good too. It doubles as a moisturizer and it is easy to spread. The tube is small enough so yu can throw it in your handbag and the cap is so tight that it won't mess the bag.
