Sun protection can be selected by skin type or texture. For reference, all Anthelios products are marked with a colored bar.

  • The yellow stripe is a light texture suitable for most users.

  • The blue stripe is a moisturizing comfort texture, preferred by owners of dry to normal skin.

  • Green stripe – mattifying texture for oily and combination skin.

The packaging of products for children is designed accordingly – you can’t go wrong.

La Roche-Posay experts do not recommend sun exposure for infants and young children. And even if the child is in the shade on a sunny day, UV protection is still necessary. That is why among the products of the Anthelios line there are formulas for children from 6 months.
