High sun protection
Effective broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection.
Our sun care range effectively protects you from the harmful effects of the sun
The sun is essential for our health. It’s our primary vitamin D source, which boosts our immune system and is essential for the proper functioning of the body and the consolidation of bones and teeth.
Sunlight also lifts our mood, thanks to the secretion of endorphins, which produce a relaxing effect.
Ultraviolet rays
Sun exposure poses skin risks: sunburn, premature aging, allergies and, in the most serious cases, cancer.
The sun emits ultraviolet (UV) rays, of which there are two main types:
- UVA rays make up 95% of the UV radiation. They penetrate deep into the skin's layers and are responsible for accelerated skin aging.
- UVB rays make up 5% of UV radiation. Although they do not penetrate beyond the epidermis, they cause tanning and can lead to sunburn with excessive exposure.
Prolonged exposure to both UVA and UVB rays increases the risk of skin cancer.
Therefore, it is essential to protect your skin from these harmful UV rays.
What is SPF?
Tanning is primarily a protective skin reaction to aggressive sun rays. The skin darkens by producing melanin to better protect itself from the harmful effects of UV.
However, this natural mechanism is not sufficient to protect your skin effectively. It is imperative to use sun protection:
SPF = Sun Protection Factor
This factor measures the level of sun protection. The higher it is, the greater the protection.
- SPF 30: blocks approximately 97% of UVB rays.
- SPF 50+: blocks approximately 98% of UVB rays.
SPF 30 and 50 provide high sun protection, while SPF 50+ offers very high protection.
Which protection factor to choose?
The protection factor should be chosen based on two aspects: your phototype (the lighter and more sensitive your skin is to the sun, the higher the protection factor should be) and the sun exposure conditions (the more intense the sun exposure, the higher the protection factor should be).
How to apply sun protection effectively?
- 30 minutes before sun exposure, generously apply to exposed skin.
- Reapply frequently (every 2 hours and more often if needed) and after each swimming.
Excessive sun exposure is harmful to your health. Avoid sun exposure during the middle of the day. Don't stay in the sun for too long, even with sun protection. An insufficient amount of the product reduces the protection level.
Don’t expose babies and young children directly to the sun, and always use protective clothing.

Why do tanning and sun protection go hand in hand?
- By using sun protection, you can preserve the skin's lifetime sun tolerance and reduce the risk of skin cancer.
Without protection, tanning happens too quickly, the risk of sunburn increases, and the skin thickens to protect itself, resulting in a dull tan.
In cases of sunburn, the risk of peeling increases, and the pigment cells that
form the tan are eliminated more quickly.
In conclusion, for a radiant and lasting tan, it is essential to protect your skin and
expose yourself to the sun in a measured way.
