Sun Secure: Sun protection
it's clear
Every year in France 80,000 new cases of skin cancer are diagnosed (1) . Which is 3 times more than 20 years ago. However, even today, only half of French people buy sun protection (2) . And this despite all the skin cancer prevention campaigns which, over the past 20 years, have multiplied, whether by health authorities, by doctors and more particularly our partners, dermatologists, but also by major cosmetic brands.
So why such a contradiction?

How can we reassure you?
As a dermatological brand we must provide solutions on such an important public health subject! Our mission is to protect your skin: we had to both check the quality of protection requirements, and also the galenic and ease of application requirements. However, two concerns remained: that of endocrine disruptors and that of the impact on the marine environment.
For 4 years now, our R&D teams have initiated scientific collaborative work with a data company and an independent laboratory expert in endocrine disruption, to rethink our solar range and remove the obstacles to use:

Transparency ? So what is this new combination of filters?
An association appeared to be the one meeting all our criteria point by point. A new combination of only 4 filters for which we have filed a patent (Patent FR19/04215).
4 years of research for a patented* combination of 4 filters :
• DIETHYLAMINO HYDROXYBENZOYL HEXYL BENZOATE – UVA filter
• BIS-ETHYLHEXYLOXYPHENOL METHOXYPHENYL TRIAZINE – UVA&UVB filter
• ETHYLHEXYL TRIAZONE – UVB filter
• DIETHYLHEXYL BUTAMIDO TRIAZONE – UVB filter
*Sun Secure patent FR19/04215. **A sunscreen product never completely protects

SUN SECURE 2.0 is now a complete range of very high SPF50/50+ sun protection products that respect the skin and the marine environment, suitable for the skin of the whole family, even the most sensitive! Each has its own texture, each has its own format. |
Sun Secure, protect yourself with complete transparency!
Apply generously and evenly before exposure to thoroughly cover the exposed surface. Reducing this quantity significantly reduces the level of protection. A sunscreen product never provides complete protection. Reapply frequently to maintain protection, especially after sweating, swimming or toweling. Avoid sun exposure during peak hours of sunshine (between 12 and 4 p.m.), otherwise bring protective clothing. Sunburns are dangerous, especially in children. Use sun protection products appropriate for your skin type. The use of this product should not encourage prolonged exposure to the sun. Too much sun is dangerous. Do not expose babies and young children directly to the sun. Always use protective clothing for your baby and apply sunscreen only to exposed areas.
