The Nourishing and Protective Trio

UVB rays are the "visible" rays from the sun that cause sunburn and skin cancer: they are very dangerous between 12 p.m. and 4 p.m. UVA rays are present regardless of the time of day, weather, or season: they are responsible for skin aging and pigment spots.

The SPF corresponds to UVB protection: an SPF 30 lets through about 3% of UVB, while an SPF 50 lets through 2%, a notable difference of 50%! With a protection factor greater than 50, you are also much better protected from UVA: in Europe, when the UVA logo is circled, it means that the UVA protection is at least one third of the UVB protection – i.e. 20 for an SPF 50+.

• An organic UV filter refers to a synthetically created filter that differs from an inorganic, or "mineral," filter, which is of natural origin. Organic filters absorb both UVA and UVB rays, while mineral filters primarily reflect UVB and only a small amount of UVA. We have chosen to use uncontroversial organic filters, recognized for their effectiveness, their harmlessness to marine biodiversity, and their completely invisible finish. For us, this is the best compromise available today.
  
  
• Some chemical filters are old and date back to the 70s. These can cause skin reactions. But since then, the market has evolved significantly, and "new generation filters" refer to those released in the last 10 years: high-performing and traceless. We have taken care to select the best on the market.

More effective protection than traditional organic filters.

Better safety (no chemicals harmful to health or the environment).

Lower environmental impact: more environmentally friendly and free of harmful substances for marine ecosystems.

Better skin tolerance

A culture method makes it possible to reproduce a model organism (non-living, the animal is not harmed). Cultures of the model organism are incubated for 7 days with different sunscreens to calculate the cell viability rate with sunscreens. The coral cell viability remained almost intact with our cream (98%) vs. the other two which dropped to 65%... (with mineral filters).

Our sunscreens are made with sun filters that are essential for protecting skin from the sun's harmful effects and preventing skin cancer risks like melanoma, as well as sunburn, premature skin aging, and the appearance of dark spots. By using appropriate sun protection, you can reduce the risks caused by exposure to the sun's UV rays. Choosing your sunscreen should be taken seriously! :)

Following strict ecotoxicity tests performed on a coral species found in the Mediterranean, Atlantic, and English Channel (Anemonia Viridis), our UV filter complex showed a lower impact on coral cell viability compared to other creams tested simultaneously (SPF50+ sunscreens based on inorganic filters: titanium dioxide and zinc oxide).

Our sunscreen stick has been specifically tested and is perfectly suitable for pregnant and breastfeeding women.

Regarding our sunscreens, although they do not contain any ingredients contraindicated during pregnancy, they have not been specifically tested on pregnant women. As a precaution, we always recommend consulting a healthcare professional if you have any doubts.

Our sunscreen stick has been specially tested and formulated to suit the whole family: it is suitable for babies from 6 months, children and adults.

As for our sunscreen creams, they are suitable for children from 3 years old. Before this age, we advise you to consult your pediatrician, as our creams have not yet undergone pediatric testing.

Nevertheless, it is imperative to keep babies and young children out of direct sunlight and to always cover their delicate skin as much as possible.

The Sun Stick can be applied to the face and sensitive areas (scars, tattoos, moles).

The Sun Cream can be applied to both the face and body: its ultra-fluid texture with a non-greasy, non-sticky finish is similar to that of a moisturizing cream, thanks to the aloe vera, provitamin B5, and probiotics it contains. In summer, it can even replace day cream for combination to oily skin!

It is best to wait 15 minutes before exposure to allow the sunscreen or sun stick to set and penetrate the epidermis. This is called the "de-emulsification" process: the sunscreen creates a protective film on the surface of the skin. Water and sweat resistance will also be optimized.

Our sunscreen can be used for up to 12 months after opening. After one year, UV protection significantly decreases as the formula degrades. As for our sun stick, it remains effective for 6 months after opening.

Rest assured, our sunscreens leave no white cast: our formula contains only organic, completely transparent UV filters, unlike inorganic (or "mineral") filters which, unless tinted, inevitably leave a more or less white film on the skin's surface. Thus, all skin tones are protected without an unsightly white effect!

Push up the bottom of the tube and apply the stick to your face or sensitive areas (scars, tattoos, moles). The sunscreen stick melts on contact with the skin's warmth. Simple and practical to use!

Apply generously before sun exposure. Reapply frequently, especially after swimming. Overexposure to the sun is dangerous for your health. Avoid sun exposure during peak sunlight hours. Do not expose babies and young children to the sun. Avoid the eye area. In case of direct contact with eyes, rinse immediately. Store at room temperature.

The sunscreen stick's texture is creamy and non-greasy; it penetrates quickly and melts upon contact with the skin.

When using it for the first time, the pump may take a little time to work. In this case, simply press it repeatedly until the cream comes out.
