La Roche-Posay Anthelios Ultra-Light Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50, 1.7 Fl. Oz.

Product Information

According to manufacturer info, it's also a moisturizer and helps to make the product feel great on the skin. As for hair care, it is a non-volatile silicone meaning that it stays on the hair rather than evaporates from it and smoothes the hair like no other thing. It has a pleasant non-sticky, non-greasy feel to it, gives formulas smooth application properties and also helps moisture retention. Slight white cast initially but it sinks in, otherwise sometimes I also mix in a little tinted bare minerals moisturizer for some glow.

ORM-D classified products such as aerosol sprays, nail polish, perfume and products with high alcohol content may only be shipped using a ground method within the Continental US. The La Roche-Posay Anthelios Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 was the best overall in my larger tested baby sunscreens review.

It forms a barrier on the skin's surface to reflect and scatter a wide spectrum of UV light, including UVA and UVB rays.

The best sunscreen for babies is a broad-spectrum water-resistant mineral formula with SPF 30 or higher.

DescriptionThis 100% mineral sunscreen with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide in a lightweight, matte finish fluid was developed for sensitive skin. Most of what we wrote about Titanium Dioxide is also true for Zinc Oxide so we will focus here on the differences. We believe that "La Roche-Posay - Anthelios Mineral Zinc Oxide Sunscreen SPF 50" can provide reliable sun protection based on the ingredients listed.

It did not leave a lingering trace of chalkiness on my skin the way other baby sunscreens I tested did. A physical/inorganic sunscreen with the broadest spectrum (UVB and UVA II, less good at UVA I) protection available today. The zinc and titanium dioxide formula is ideal for anyone who doesn't want a chemical sunscreen, or who is pregnant.Sunscreens containing Titanium Dioxide are often hard to spread on the skin and they leave a disturbing whitish tint.
