Anthelios 50 Mineral Tinted Ultra Light Sunscreen Fluid - 50ml/1.7oz

Product Information

We understand that it may seem daunting to choose between so many different products, so we’ve narrowed down the 5 best La Roche Posay Sunscreens.

Regarding the name: that’s UVMune, not Immune. Science has yet to come up with a sunscreen that will make you immune to sun damage; always apply and re-apply your SPF responsibly!) Plus, one of the five chemical sunscreen ingredients, oxybenzone, is known to cause adverse effects. For example, the American Cancer Society says, “Some studies have shown oxybenzone can cause skin allergies. In addition, studies in animals and in human cells in laboratories show that oxybenzone can interfere with how some hormones work.”SPF is defined by the FDA as “ how well a sunscreen protects you from sunburn”. Thus, the number following SPF on a sunscreen label tells you how much UVB light that sunscreen can filter out.

As the first line of defense, Cell-Ox Shield Technology features a patented combination of five UV filters: avobenzone, homosalate, octisalate, octocrylene, and oxybenzone. Sunlight isn’t just “sunlight”: it’s actually a spectrum of different types of radiation, many of which are familiar to you. In the world of skincare, you’ve definitely heard of ultraviolet-A (UVA) and ultraviolet-B (UVB) radiation, infrared, and visible light. Each of these types of radiation has a different wavelength, which is measured in nanometers (nm): That’s because the 100% mineral formula effortlessly blends into the skin, creating a beautiful matte finish while providing broad spectrum SPF 50 protection. It’s also fragrance-free and paraben-free, making it a great option for those with sensitive skin. What Are The Key Ingredients in La Roche Posay Sunscreens? Physical sunscreens tend to be better tolerated by most skin types because they are not absorbed into the skin. Thus, they are especially useful for those with heat sensitive skin (i.e. rosacea patients) as well as those with acne-prone skin as they are typically less pore-clogging.UVA radiation is associated with photoaging and pigmentation, and longer wavelengths tend to penetrate ever deeper into the skin; ultimately UVA radiation may even cause indirect damage to DNA, which may, in turn, play a role in the development of some skin cancers. What we’re trying to say is: that gap may seem tiny, but we can’t think of it as harmless. The fix: The new Mexoryl 400 filter The line of face and body sunscreens for sensitive skin includes a variety of products with SPF, such as moisturizers, serums, lotions, sprays, primers, and more — with a total of 18 different sunscreen products! Mexoryl 400 ( Methoxypropylamino cyclohexenylidene ethoxyethylcyanoacetate, or MCE): protects in the UVA range with peak absorbance at 385 nm. Prescriptions must be written on an Authority Prescription Form, and the approval number must be noted on the prescription. Pharmacists cannot dispense the item as a pharmaceutical benefit unless it has been approved by Medicare Australia (indicated by the presence of the approval number). We love that the formula includes the mineral sunscreen titanium dioxide, which provides broad spectrum SPF 50 protection. And you don’t have to worry about a white cast since the formula is tinted with iron oxides.
