This is not intended to be a sunscreen that I know of. It is a moisturizer with a self tanner in it.

This is not a sunscreen at all. Just a moisturizer. It has a gradual self tanner in it.

Yes- a thin layer of sunscreen with a dusting of mineral powder and you are good to go! :)

I'm pretty bad about reapplying but the bottle turns blue in the sun (hence "blue" lizard) and that is when you're supposed to reapply. I'm almost positive this is water resistant. It's a pretty thick sunblock compared to a spray SPF for example. I have very fair skin and used this to protect me from the Cabo San Lucas sun rays and it did the job. Recommended by my dermatologist, too so I'd say it's a good choice.

Yes its a high spf. I even wore it when i went to cancun and my face didnt even get burned. I put regular sunscreen on my body and i got burned on my shoulders and chest. So i was impressed with the sunscreen in this. Trust me it looks flawless on and i love how it goes with your skin color when you tan, so no more switching shades.

No. There is no SPF listed. I assume its more of a moisturizer than a sunscreen.

Agreed. If burn or damage is a concern, yes, put on a layer of sunscreen before you apply the Bain De Soliel. It's worth it! The aroma and feel of this stuff is totally luxurious. It makes time lounging by the pool or on the beach even nicer.

This product would be good for fair and sensitive skin to sun. It covers brown marks on face but you still need to wear a hat for protection from UVA/UVB.

There is a version with sunscreen and that one is labeled as such. This is the regular kind and there is no sunscreen along with it.

I don't know what UPF is. If you meant SPF, Sun Protective Factor, blocking 96% of UV A and B is great, at least 30% SPF but probably better as it's actually blocking, not absorbing as sunscreens often do. There is a *distinct* difference between this and any other umbrella I've used. It's VERY effective.

The bottle says 15% SPF which is less than my dermatologist would recommend, but seems to be adequate for me for a normal day. If I'm going to be in the sun a lot, I supplement with an additional sun screen.

Not sure if its coral reef safe but its definitely thee best all natural, non gmo, organic sunblock ive gotten so far! Just got back from hawaii and it worked really well for me no sunburn, no irritation, and if theres anything that id consider safe for the ocean it would be this :)

It does not smell like sunscreen and is perfect for lighter complexions. I am very fair and it blends really nicely and provides great sun protection

It offers a 4 hour protection, but I would recommend to use a waterproof sunscreen if you plan to go to the beach.

The label on the hat indicated so, but not sure how to verify. I did wear a sun hat that wasn't labeled spf protected and can tell you this one is cooler on my headvand face.

Hi Nicole,No it does not contain any sun protection. I like to use a specific SPF sun screen.Ian
