Did you know it?

Children’s skin is more exposed to UV rays: a child receives 3 times as more rays than an adult! Furthermore, most of the exposures to the sun, when child are intermittent, therefore brutal, because skin has not been prepared. Consequently, children’s skin is all the more exposed to UV-induced cellular damages, which can cause cancers at adult age.

For that reason, La Roche-Posay launches a solar protection range especially designed for children: ANTHELIOS DERMO-PEDIATRICS.

Because they have been created for the fragile skins of children, the tolerance of these products has been tested on the most sensitive skins (children and individuals with atopic eczema) under the control of dermatologists and paediatricians, to ensure the highest level of security.

Thanks to the exclusive filtering system with Mexoryl®SX et Mexoryl®XL of ANTHELIOS, this range of products ensures an Ultra Protection UVB/UVA to effectively protect the skin against sunburns but also against invisible damages on the cells’ DNA.

It is well known: repeated bathing, sweating and sand rubbing are characteristics of children’s games. However they contribute to progressively diminish the protective efficacy of sun blocks. To resist all children’s activities, the formulas of the ANTHELIOS DERMO-PEDIATRICS range have undergone all the resistance tests: resistance to water, to sand, and to sweat.

Finally, this range offers a wide choice of textures easy and quick to apply, without greasy nor sticky effect. The SPF50 Milk, fluid and fresh, smoothes onto on the skin. The SPF 40 Cream, smooth and soft, allows to control the application, and the SPF 40 Spray, very practical, will seduce those fans of quick application.
