be observed;
vitamin E;
carnosine
Varieties of creams
This sunscreen line does not contain products with SPF below 30. Fans of safe tanning, as well as those who want to minimize the negative effects of the sun, are offered a choice between high protection SPF 30 and very high SPF 50.
The range includes products for children and adults. Products are also divided into:
facial formulas (for different skin types);
body formulas (in several formats).
Anthelios – sun protection for the whole family
Selection rules
The main difference between the products lies in the textures addressed to different types of skin, taking into account its condition. To make it easier for users to navigate, the range was divided into three series, and the products were marked with stripes of different colors.
Yellow – light texture.
Blue – A richer formula for skin prone to dryness.
Green – mattifying texture for oily and combination skin.
Among these products are formulas that include a new ingredient. Airlicium – it was obtained in the course of space research.
Erlicium is a new generation absorbent in the form of an airgel. It is the lightest ingredient, 99% air and 1% silicon. Effectively controls the level of sebum on the surface of the skin,” says La Roche-Posay medical expert Alexander Prokofiev.
