Not necessarily. I would seek a sunscreen that has one or both of the following ingredients within them: titanium dioxide and/or zinc oxide. Zinc oxide has a wider range of coverage and is preferred. The ingredients help protect against UVA and UVB sun rays.Remember the SPF rating system is only for UVB rays and does not include the all important UVA rays. Moreover, most ingredients in sunscreens (not containing titanium dioxide and zinc oxide) are chemical filters and breakdown as they absorb the UVB and UVA rays. Titanium dioxide and zinc oxide (in particular) are longer lasting physical filters, providing superior protection and are typically better for sensitive skin, which is ideal for skin healing from a chemical peel.I hope this helps.
