3 top parapharmacy sun creams!

Here are 3 top parapharmacy sun creams!

bioderma photoderm aquafluide

The first is Bioderma's Photoderm Aquafluide SPF 50. This sun cream incorporates an effective combination of UV filters, including UVASORB HEB, Uvinul A Plus, Tinosorb S, and avobenzone, the latter listed at the end of the composition. It offers excellent protection against UVA rays, making it particularly suitable for dry skin. Its finish, in my opinion, surpasses that of Avène's sun cream in elegance. It should be noted, however, that its formulation contains avobenzone, a point that could be prohibitive for some users.

Caudalie vinosun fluid

The second cream, vinosun fluid by Caudalie, is also particularly successful. Caudalie's Vinosun stands out from the crowd of sun creams. It contains four effective sunscreens: Uvinul A Plus, Uvinul T150, Tinosorb S, and Ensulizole, a rare water-soluble filter. Its formulation is remarkably balanced, making this cream suitable for normal, slightly dry or oily skin. The cream's texture is particularly fluid and pleasant to apply. However, the fluidity of the product may raise concerns about applying the right amount, especially as its finish is slightly shiny. Despite this, this cream represents a notable success for Caudalie. Another point to consider is its lack of fragrance, giving it a neutral scent that may not appeal to everyone.

La Rosée organic apricot oil suntan lotion

For those who prefer scented sunscreens, La Rosée's organic apricot oil lotion could be a good option. This product incorporates four modern sunscreens: Uvinul A Plus, Tinosorb S, Ensulizole and Uvinul T 150. It moves away from traditional organic sunscreens, often composed of mineral filters with less pleasant textures, to offer a well-executed formulation. However, one question remains: is the cream itself certified organic, or just the apricot oil? Indeed, the packaging can be confusing. Despite these questions, the product's quality is undeniable, although it can leave a slightly greasy effect and risk staining clothes.

Here are a few tips for selecting the right sunscreen:

1. Broad spectrum protection : Make sure your sunscreen offers broad-spectrum protection, which means it protects against both UVA and UVB rays. UVA rays are mainly responsible for skin aging, while UVB rays cause sunburn.
2. Consider your skin type:
   • Sensitive skin : Look for fragrance-free, alcohol-free formulas containing fecent sunbeds which are less likely to cause irritation.
   • Oily or acne-prone skin: Opt for non-comedogenic, oil-free formulas to avoid clogging pores.
   • Dry skin : Choose moisturizing sunscreens containing ingredients such as glycerine or hyaluronic acid.

To know all these elements, the Beautydecoded application will predict whether a sunscreen is right for you thanks to its artificial intelligence.

1. Formulations : Sunscreens are available in a variety of forms, including lotions, gels, sprays and sticks.
2. Water resistance : If you plan to swim or sweat, choose a water-resistant sunscreen.
3. Ingredients to avoid : Some people prefer to avoid ingredients like oxybenzone and octinoxate, which can have disruptive effects on the marine environment and potentially on human health. Look for formulations that also respect the environment.
4. Expiry date : Sunscreen protection can diminish over time. Be sure to check the expiry date and store the product according to instructions to maintain its effectiveness.
