Hello Interloper!

It is also important to notice which type of filters your sunscreen has.
There are 2 types, the Chemical and the Physical. The main difference is that chemical sunscreens have small particles that will be absorbed by the skin and studies suggest that they can potentially be dangerous to our health.
While the physical filters just sit on your skin making a barrier. Examples of Physical sunscreens are zinc oxide and titanium dioxide.
It is also important to see if your sunscreen has antioxidants like caffeine, Silybin, knotgrass, grape seed, Glutathione, etc. This will help to protect the skin against free radicals produced when we expose our skin to UV radiation.
So, when looking for sunscreen always look for a physical, broad-spectrum, SPF of at least 30 and ideally with antioxidants.
