This mineral sunscreen from Avène uses titanium dioxide as its sole UV filter, a physical filter of mineral origin that acts by reflecting and diffusing UVA and UVB radiation, without penetrating the skin. This mechanism of action makes it a suitable option for skin that is sensitive, reactive or intolerant to organic chemical filters. The formula incorporates **glycerine** and **silk amino acids** with moisturizing and film-forming properties, as well as **tocopheryl glucoside** (derived from vitamin E) which provides antioxidant activity against UV-induced oxidative stress. Pentaerythrityl tetra-di-t-butyl hydroxyhydrocinnamate** reinforces this antioxidant protection and contributes to the formula's stability. The emollient base, composed notably of **isodecyl neopentanoate**, **triethylhexanoin** and **caprylic/capric triglyceride**, ensures a comfortable finish without excessive greasiness. The presence of **silicones** (cyclopentasiloxane, cyclohexasiloxane) confers a light texture and good spreadability. This product is particularly suitable for sensitive skin, skin prone to reactions to chemical filters, and people looking for broad-spectrum sun protection with a minimalist, well-tolerated ingredient profile.
Written review of the BeautyDecoded application -
sun cream
this sun cream does not irritate the skin and does not let any UV rays through when used as recommended
the only drawback: it is very whitening, even when well spread out.
it stings the eyes a little, so be careful not to get too close to the eye contour area it tends to make the skin oily a few hours after the first application
but in terms of UV protection it does the job!
Written review of the BeautyDecoded application -
fine but very white
Absolutely not irritating, promises kept from this point of view, but very white film that does not fade, even on my already very pale skin.
slightly oily feel
With foundation on top, no worries, but I can't use it to reapply during the day.
