What to look for in a sunscreen


Avobenzone
Is a chemical screen that offers good protection against UVA but not UVB rays.

Octocrylene and oxybenzone
Are chemicals screens that are effective against UVB rays.

Titanium dioxide or zinc oxide
Are physical, mineral sunscreens that are effective across the UVA and UVB spectrum. Micronized versions mean they no longer leave that unattractive white residue on the skin.

Mexoryl sx
Is one of a new generation of organic filters that is UVA protecting.

Antheliossx combines mexoryl sx with avonbenzone and octocrylene to give affective broad-spectrum sun protection.

Research suggests that the inclusion of antioxidants, particularly Vitamins C and E, can help prevent cell damage by reducing the free radicals and inflammation caused by sun exposure, guarding against wrinkles, photo pigmentation or sun spots, and even skin cancer.
