Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The above mentioned contents are ideal for a broad spectrum sunscreen. Apply a small amount on full face and neck 20 mins before you step out and make sure you reapply every 3.5-4 hours as that is the time span the sunscreen gives protection.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
