Any recommendation for blue light protection sunscreen?

I'm looking for a blue light protection sunscreen, could anyone give recommendation?

I know Murad City Skin Age Defense Broad Spectrum SPF 50 PA++++ has blue light protection. But I more interest in a one with lower SPF like 30 - 40, since I am in office most of time.

 

Thanks

Re: Any recommendation for blue light protection sunscreen?

Dr Howard Murad M.D. the founder of Murad Skincare says that added that people should use a full tablespoon of sunscreen with protection from UVA and UVB rays on their face alone and reapply at least every two to three hours, and half an hour before going in the sun.Dr Murad shares his advice:

Buy sunscreen that contains the ingredient lutein
Apply at least a tablespoon of sunscreen on our face and 35ml all over our body
'Eat' natural sunscreen found in food like pomegranate, watermelon and pink grapefruit
Dim the light on your screen or apply a blue light filter.

The photoprotection against UVB, UVA and blue light provided by a widely prescribed sunscreen (RoC 15+ A+B) was compared with two new products containing microfine titanium dioxide (Sun E45 lotion SPF 15 and Sun E45 cream SPF 25) [corrected]. Comparisons were made in vivo using photosensitive patients with either chronic actinic dermatitis or erythropoietic protoporphyria, and in vitro using a newly developed spectrophotometric assay. Good agreement was obtained between the in-vivo and in-vitro methods at each waveband. All products showed high protection against UVB radiation, but the products containing microfine titanium dioxide showed significantly higher protection against both UVA and blue light than RoC 15+ A+B. Products containing microfine titanium dioxide are likely to offer superior photoprotection in those patients who are abnormally sensitive to long wavelength ultraviolet radiation than products which are currently available on prescription.
