If I am not mistaken Zinc Oxide is a sunscreen ingredient. So it does have SPF protection.

If that product contained UV Protection, it would be listed in the Active Ingredients( like the ASAP SPF Moisturiser), but there is no Active Ingredients listed, just the normal ingredient list.

I looked at the ingredients for the Total Effects UV Protection on the Olay Australia site, and there was no Active Ingredients listed there either.

My advice: when looking to get a product with UV protection/SPF protection/UVA protection/UVB protection, make sure there the Active Ingredients are listed. Active Ingredients will be listed on top of the normal ingredient list.

Hope that helps

Titanium dioxide is generally used in sunscreens too, isn't it? I'm allergic to Olay, so I don't even look at their products anymore

 

[goddess13]

Yes, Titanium Dioxide is used as a sunscreen ingredient as well Aquilah

Titanium dioxide and Zink oxide are mineral sunscreen agents that protect against both UVA and UVB rays.

Zinc Oxide is a sunscreen ingredient but it may not have a high enough % to protect your skin. Unless it says spf 15, etc. it may not be an effective sunscreen.
