SPF50 sunscreen

UVA and UVB are two types of ultraviolet rays that it's important to protect your skin from. UVB rays are mainly responsible for sunburn, while UVA rays contribute to skin aging and the appearance of sun-related dark spots.

That's why our sun protection products offer UVA and UVB protection, to care for your skin during summer sun exposure as well as every day.

SPF, or sun protection factor, indicates the level of protection against UVB rays. The higher the number, the greater the protection.

An SPF 30 already filters out a large share of UVB rays, but an SPF 50 or SPF 50+ offers higher protection, which is especially useful during intense sun exposure or for skin that needs very high protection.

The Les Petits Prödiges sun protection products in this collection offer SPF50 or SPF50+ and protect against both UVA and UVB rays.

It mainly depends on how you plan to use it.

The SPF50+ Face & Body Sunscreen is ideal for protecting larger areas of the face and body and is suitable for the whole family from age 3.

The SPF50 Facial Sun Stick allows precise, on-the-go application on the face and particularly exposed areas. It's suitable for the whole family, including babies from 6 months, as well as pregnant and breastfeeding women.

The SPF50+ Invisible Sun Mist is especially handy for the face, neck and chest, and for easily reapplying protection throughout the day, even over makeup. It can be used from age 10.

Sun protection is especially useful whenever your skin is exposed to UV rays, not just at the beach. UVA rays can also reach the skin during everyday exposure and contribute to skin aging and the appearance of sun-related dark spots.

For everyday use, the SPF50+ Invisible Sun Mist can, for example, be applied as the last step of your routine and easily slipped into your bag to reapply protection throughout the day.

It depends on the product:

- the SPF50 Facial Sun Stick is suitable from 6 months;

- the SPF50+ Face & Body Sunscreen is suitable from age 3;

For babies and young children, sunscreen doesn't replace essential precautions: seek shade and protect the skin as much as possible with appropriate clothing.

The SPF50 Facial Sun Stick has been specifically tested and is suitable for pregnant and breastfeeding women.

If in doubt during pregnancy or breastfeeding, it's best to ask a healthcare professional for advice.

Sun protection should be applied before sun exposure, then reapplied regularly to maintain its level of protection, especially after swimming, heavy sweating or toweling off.

For the SPF50 Sun Stick, reapplying every two hours or after each swim is recommended.

With the Invisible Sun Mist, touch-ups throughout the day are especially easy since it can be applied directly to the face, even over makeup.

Yes, with the SPF50+ Invisible Sun Mist. Its lightweight texture was designed to be applied over makeup without disturbing it.

In a user trial conducted on 11 volunteers over 7 days, 100% of users confirmed that the mist applied perfectly over makeup.

It can therefore be used for convenient sun protection touch-ups throughout the day.

The sun protection products in the range have been formulated to offer an invisible finish with no white cast on the skin. They use organic UV filters that provide this transparency on application.

The SPF50+ Invisible Sun Mist, in particular, has a completely invisible finish and suits all skin tones.

An organic UV filter is a synthetic sunscreen filter designed to absorb UV rays. Les Petits Prödiges sun care formulas use organic UV filters selected to provide protection against UVA and UVB rays while delivering pleasant textures and an invisible finish.

For example, the SPF50 Sun Stick combines three organic UV filters and offers high UVA/UVB protection with no white cast.

It depends on the product. The SPF50+ Face & Body Sunscreen and the SPF50 Facial Sun Stick are labeled as water-resistant.

The SPF50+ Invisible Sun Mist, on the other hand, has not been tested as waterproof. It can be applied to dry or wet skin, but it's important to reapply it after swimming, heavy sweating or toweling off.

Yes, several products in the range are suitable for sensitive skin.

The SPF50 Sun Stick is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. The SPF50+ Invisible Sun Mist has also been dermatologically tested, and no signs of irritation or discomfort were observed during testing.

Shelf life depends on the product. The Sunscreen can be used for up to 12 months after opening, while the Sun Stick and the Invisible Sun Mist have a stated period after opening of 6 months.

To keep track of how long your sun care product has been open, a handy tip is to write the date of first use directly on the product.

Ecotoxicity tests were carried out on Anemonia viridis, a species found in the Mediterranean, the Atlantic and the English Channel.

Under the conditions of these tests, the UV filter complex used showed a lower impact on cell viability than the other SPF50+ creams made with inorganic filters tested at the same time.

After sun exposure, your skin may need extra comfort and hydration. An after-sun milk completes your sun care routine by hydrating and soothing the skin after exposure.

The range's Face & Body After-Sun Milk is certified ORGANIC and was designed to provide this care step after a day in the sun.
