For those dealing with sensitive skin or simply wanting a mineral protection, Anthelios Mineral Sunscreens provide ample protection.
Mineral sunscreen is a category of sun protection filters that contains two mineral-based active ingredients, zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. These function by scattering UV rays in different directions, much like a disco ball. In other words, a mineral filter acts as a first line of defence for the skin, scattering most UV rays outwards. And while this may mean some rays can penetrate the skin, a formula enriched with antioxidants like vitamin E (tocopherol), such as Anthelios Mineral Sunscreens, safeguards you from stray UV rays to ultimately neutralize the damage that these can cause. This is what makes antioxidants such a desirable component of 100% mineral sunscreens.
La Roche-Posay’s Anthelios Mineral Sunscreens come in two different formulas for different needs, both offering titanium dioxide and optimal UVB/UVA protection. First, for a quick-absorbing, untinted formula, try Anthelios Mineral Ultra-Fluid Lotion SPF 50 for Body that applies easily with a sheer finish. But if you’re looking for light coverage to face the day that can deliver on protection, La Roche-Posay’s Anthelios Mineral Tinted SPF 50 Facial Sunscreen is a win-win solution. In addition to protecting against harmful UVA and UVB rays, this sun care product comes in a tinted shade that leaves your skin looking naturally radiant.
