Modern UV filters specifically refer to filters that break down well in the environment, do not pose a risk to the sea/coral life and, of course, do not pose a risk to humans.
However, there are still many UV filters on the market that have precisely these problems.
Examples:
Octocrylene - contributes to coral bleaching
Isoamyl p-methoxycinnamate - damages corals
Homosalates - hormone-like effect
Ethylhexyl salicylate - aquatoxic
Organic UV filters penetrate the upper layer of the skin and neutralise UV radiation there. The organic filters are also necessary to achieve a high level of UVA protection that cannot be achieved with mineral filters.
Inorganic, mineral filters such as titanium dioxide or zinc oxide have the disadvantage that they whiten strongly. Although this disadvantage has been remedied with nano particles, they are still viewed critically due to their particle size. It has also been established that mineral pigments also contribute to coral damage, as the sediments are deposited on corals.
With our broad-spectrum sun protection filter system, we have the latest and best you can get in a very high-quality biomimetic carrier emulsion combined with cell protection against premature skin ageing
Good to know: Sun protection factors in general do not protect against the damaging effects of infrared light and the visible blue light of the sun. Anti-oxidants are needed for this.
The ideal care concept: protection during sun exposure plus aftersun for face and body with skin-regenerating squalane - moisturising, intelligent cell and D NA protection.
Inhibits the skin's inflammatory reaction, supports the skin's own repair mechanism
Consulting tip - The perfect sundowner package: After Sun Hair Mask for the hair, After Sun Face Cream as a face mask and After Sun Soothing Body Lotion for the body.
UVB rays weaken the epidermal immune system and break down important lipids in our skin barrier. The result is sensitive, sun-sensitive skin.
Intelligent protection means: It protects and regenerates the skin by promoting the recovery from UV-related damage and light-induced stress. Prevents lipid peroxidation and D N A damage. This is our cell protection system.
Active ingredient complex of sunflower seeds, natural antioxidant and rosemary extract offers intelligent cell and D N A protection.
I.e. sun protection + anti-ageing = professional sun care SOLEIL
We have even higher UVA protection than required by law. We have more than 1/3 UVA protection. This means more protection against photoaging and allergies.
UVA rays lead to structural changes and tissue damage in the dermis. Especially with ageing skin, when the skin's own repair mechanisms diminish, it is important to use such high-quality sun protection.
The best sun protection is always the one that customers like to use. Soleil has been delighting our customers for decades because its effectiveness and ease of use are perfectly harmonised.
