Avobenzone (Parsol^® 1789-)
* A revolutionary development in sunscreen technology approved by the FDA in 1998. While traditional chemical sunscreens could block against UVB (the "burning rays") and UVAII wavelengths, they could not adequately block out UVAI rays, the ones responsible for the skin damage that results in wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, etc.
* Effectively protects from UVA rays

Octyl Methoxycinnamate
* A strong UVB Block
Octyl Salicylate
* Protects against UVB rays
* Considered a non-comedogenic raw material

Oxybenzone
* UV absorber that protects from UVA rays

Seaweed Extract
* Deeply hydrates all skin types, leaving the skin with a real sensation of suppleness and softness
* Rebalances the skin’s natural environment as it provides nourishment

Algae Extract
* Ensures proper skin hydration, and delvers a wealth of amino acids, proteins, minerals and vitamins to the skin
* Supports the cell renewal process
* Excellent moisturizing agent
Orchid Extract
* Naturally elevates the sun protection factor, while rehydrating the skin’s surface
Vitamin A
* Improves skin elasticity, moisture content and suppleness while reversing the signs of photo-aging
Vitamin C
* The most popular anti-oxidant, Vitamin C is a required component in the production of collagen, the tissue responsible for skin suppleness. Moreover, Vitamin C has been shown to help slow the production of hyperpigmentation ("age spots") while providing some UV protection
Vitamin E
* Penetrates the stratum corneum and maintains moisture levels of the skin for long periods of time (16 to 24 Hours). Accumulates in the epidermis and forms a barrier against moisture evaporation from the skin. An anti-oxidant, Vitamin E helps prevent free radical damage in the skin tissues

I love this product! I've been using it for years at the suggestion of my dermatologist. It is light feeling, absorbs quickly, really protects my face from sun damage, and moisturizes at the same time. I use it daily and have no problems with sunburn on my face. In fact, I used it while in Cancun recently with great results.
Pros: Light feeling; fast absorbing -- quick and easy to apply; effective sun protection
Cons: A little pricey.

I have been using this product since 2005 and have been completely satisfied. I live on a lake and the summer weather averages aroung 105 50 120 so having a product that protects like Fenix is a must. My whole family uses the sunblock on our faces, first thing when we get on the boat, even my son and husband. No racoon faces for us.
Pros: easy to apply long lasting complete protection
Cons: cost however, because of the protection it is worth it.
