This gel-cream is designed to provide comprehensive protection using Advanced Spectral Technology, which combines broad-spectrum UVA and UVB filters for very high UV protection with HEVIS light defense. The “LEB” designation (often associated with Polymorphic Light Eruption or sun allergies) indicates it is tailored for skin prone to sun-induced reactions by neutralizing the free radicals that can trigger these sensitivities.
Key Active Ingredients
The formula features a complex of antioxidants and skin-repairing agents:
- Licochalcone A: A powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory derived from the Chinese Licorice plant. It works to neutralize free radicals caused by both UV radiation and high-energy visible (HEVIS) light, protecting the deeper epidermal layers.
- Glucosylrutin & Isoquercitrin: These are potent antioxidants that, in combination with Licochalcone A, help to protect the skin from the oxidative stress that triggers sun allergies.
- Glycyrrhetinic Acid: Derived from the licorice plant, this ingredient supports the skin’s own DNA repair mechanism, helping to protect cells from damage caused by UV-induced free radicals.
- Tocopherol (Vitamin E): Acts as a vital antioxidant to reinforce the skin’s defense system against environmental stressors.
Environmental Commitment
- Microplastic-Free: The formula is entirely free of microplastics, following the UNEP definition.
- Ocean Friendly: The UV filter system is formulated without Octocrylene to reduce its environmental impact.
How to Use
It is designated for use on both the face and body. Generally, sun protection products should be applied generously before sun exposure and reapplied frequently (especially after swimming or sweating) to maintain the level of protection.
Contraindications & Precautions
- Suitability: The product is clinically tested for its very high protection on the face and body.
- General Note: The formula contains Alcohol Denat, which helps the gel-cream texture absorb quickly and feel non-greasy on the skin.
- Warnings: Avoid contact with the eyes. If you have a known history of severe skin reactions, it is recommended to consult a dermatologist before use.
