But if you see similar products in price and quality, why not choose yet the greatest possible number? ".
As for the ingredients, which must be in sunscreens, the Fund for the fight against skin cancer refers to the following: avobenzone, oxybenzone, mexoryl, zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. This also results in the Fund a few tips for choosing the tools from the sun:
