Main Key Ingredients:

• Cell-Ox Shield® technology: A key antioxidant technology in the Anthelios suncare range. It combines photostable UVA/UVB filters to deliver broad spectrum protection and powerful antioxidant protection with Senna Alata, a tropical leaf extract known to defend skin cells against damaging free radicals caused by the sun.
• Vitamin E: Tocopheryl acetate is a synthetic, more stable form of vitamin E. It has antioxdant properties to help neutralize damaging free radicals.
• Titanium Dioxide: A mineral sunscreen filter used in Anthelios mineral sunscreens. Titanium Dioxide is also known as a physical or inorganic sunscreen filter and is often recommended for sensitive skin types. It forms a barrier on the skin's surface to help protect against both UVA and UVB rays.
  
• Dimethicone: A silicone-based polymer used as a skin protectant to help reduce water loss. As a cosmetic emollient, it also helps skincare products spread easily onto the skin.
  
• La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water: A soothing water sourced in the town of La Roche-Posay in France and a core ingredient in most of our products. It contains a unique combination of minerals, trace elements, and a high concentration of selenium, a natural antioxidant.
  
• Silica: A type of powder with a spherical bead shape that provides a silky feel and soft focus effect. It is lightweight and is able to absorb a significant amount of oil from skin.
  
• Iron Oxides: Mineral pigments that provide the tint in tinted sunscreens. Research has suggested iron oxides may also help provide protection against visible light.
