Solar FAQs

How do the two sun protection products in this Duo complement each other?

This Duo combines two formats to go with you on city outings and outdoor activities.

The Invisible Sun Mist offers SPF50+ protection against UVA and UVB rays, plus anti-pollution action. Its fine spray makes touch-ups on the face easy, even over makeup.

The SPF50 Facial Sun Stick allows targeted application on the face and lips thanks to its texture that melts on contact with the skin.

Each product must be applied in sufficient quantity and reapplied regularly. Their protection factors don't add up.

How do you apply the products in this Duo, and how often should you reapply them?

For the Invisible Sun Mist: shake the bottle, close your eyes, then spray 5 to 6 times from about 15 cm (6 in) away from your face. Gently pat in any excess product. Apply it before sun exposure, as the last step of your routine, on dry or wet skin.

For the SPF50 Facial Sun Stick: push up the bottom of the tube and apply generously to the face or lips before exposure. Its texture melts on contact with the skin's warmth.

Reapply every 2 hours, as well as after swimming, heavy sweating or towel-drying. The mist can also be used for touch-ups during the day, especially on a terrace or on a walk.

Why does the Invisible Sun Mist also protect against pollution?

In urban environments, fine particles and air pollutants settle on the skin and can promote oxidative stress, which is involved in premature skin aging.

The Invisible Sun Mist helps limit the adhesion of these particles while protecting the skin from UVA and UVB rays. This anti-pollution action applies to the mist.

Is the Invisible Sun Mist water-resistant?

It can be applied to dry or wet skin, but it has not been tested as waterproof. So being able to apply it on wet skin doesn't mean it's water-resistant.

Reapply after each swim, heavy sweating or towel-drying, as well as every 2 hours during exposure.

From what age can you use the products in this Duo?

The two sun protection products have different recommendations:

  • The SPF50 Facial Sun Stick is suitable for babies from 6 months, children and adults.
  • The Invisible Sun Mist can be used from age 10.

For younger children, choose the stick from this Duo. Using sun protection should not lead to exposing babies and young children directly to the sun.

Do the products in this Duo leave a white cast or a greasy finish?

The Invisible Sun Mist has an ultra-fine, lightweight, non-occlusive texture with an invisible finish and no white cast. It's suitable for all skin tones.

The SPF50 Facial Sun Stick offers a creamy, non-greasy texture that melts on contact with the skin and absorbs quickly. Its organic UV filters also ensure a finish with no white cast, whatever your skin tone.

Can you apply the Invisible Sun Mist over makeup?

Yes. Its ultra-fine texture allows application over makeup without moving or altering it.

100% of users said the mist applied perfectly over makeup.*

This lets you renew your protection throughout the day, while following the guidelines for application amount and frequency.

*User test conducted on 11 volunteers for 7 days.

What's the difference between UVA and UVB?

UVA and UVB are invisible ultraviolet rays: UVB doesn't correspond to the sun's visible light.

UVB rays are mainly responsible for sunburn. UVA rays contribute in particular to skin aging and dark spots. Both can damage the skin; their intensity varies depending on exposure conditions. Learn more about UV rays from the WHO.

Both products in this Duo offer protection against UVA and UVB rays.

What's the difference between SPF30, SPF50 and SPF50+?

SPF indicates the level of protection against UVB rays under standardized test conditions. An SPF30 lets through about 3.3% of UVB rays, versus about 2% for an SPF50. SPF50+ corresponds to a higher protection category.

In this Duo, the SPF50 Facial Sun Stick has an SPF of 50 and the Invisible Sun Mist an SPF of 50+.

UVA protection is assessed separately. The circled UVA logo indicates UVA protection equal to at least one third of the sun protection factor. No SPF level replaces generous application and regular reapplication.

SPF50 Facial Sun Duo: Sun Stick & SPF50+ Mist

The Les Petits Prödiges Urban Protective Duo brings together two facial sun protection formats: a 15 g SPF50 Facial Sun Stick and a 40 ml Invisible Sun Mist SPF50+. The stick allows for targeted application, while the mist is used before sun exposure and can be handy for touch-ups throughout the day. Their protection factors do not add up: each product is used separately, in a sufficient amount and according to its own application instructions.

Apply the SPF50 Facial Sun Stick generously to the face and lips before sun exposure. Its compact format slips easily into a bag for outings, walks or days spent outdoors. The stick is suitable for adults and children from 6 months of age, according to the directions provided for the product. However, sun protection should not lead to exposing babies and young children directly to the sun.

The Invisible Sun Mist SPF50+ protects the skin against UVA and UVB rays. Shake the bottle before use, close your eyes and spray according to the directions. According to the product page, it can also be applied over makeup for easy touch-ups. In a 7-day user test conducted with 11 volunteers, 100% of participants said it applied perfectly over makeup. The mist was also the subject of an instrumental anti-pollution study on 11 women: after standardized wiping, 98% of the deposited carbon particles were removed from the area treated with the mist, compared with 64% on the untreated area. This result concerns the removal of particles after wiping, not the level of sun protection.

Reapply every two hours and after swimming, heavy sweating or towel drying. Since the Invisible Sun Mist has not been tested as waterproof, it is important to reapply it after every swim. Made in France, this facial sun protection duo combines an SPF50 stick and an SPF50+ mist in two travel-friendly formats, so you can adapt your routine to your daily habits.
