Product summary

"Soleil Noir - Vitamined Care SPF6" "is a broad spectrum sunscreen meaning that it protects both from UVB rays (" burning "- they cause sunburn) and UVA rays (" aging "- they don't cause sunburn but lead to premature aging and pigmentation issues). However, this moisturizer does not offer enough sun protection. We recommend to use a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily.

This moisturizer should also be hydrating enough to use without an additional moisturizer during the day.

Sunscreen filters

This sunscreen uses so-called" chemical ", or organic UV filters (organic simply means that their molecules contain atoms of carbon). These filters typically give good sun protection and rarely leave a white cast, but they can be irritating for sensitive skin. The UV filters in this sunscreen are: tinosorb s 5.30% - 6.50%, uvinul a plus 2.20% - 2.60% and uvinul t 3.90% - 4.80%.

Irritation risk

There are some common irritants in this product, including ingredients that do not have benefits for the skin. We assess the overall irritancy of this moisturizer to be high. For a detailed overview of all potential irritants: click here

Sun protection

Moisturizing

This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.

The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water. When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job: glycerin.

This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: cocos nucifera oil, helianthus annuus seed oil.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: panthenol

glycine soja oil 0.4% - 0.6%

Irritation risk: Comedogenicity: Medium

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A good emollient that helps soften the skin and helps repair its barrier function. It can clog pores if used in high concentrations.

cocos nucifera oil 0.9% - 1.15%

Irritation risk: Comedogenicity: High

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

An emollient. Found to be as effective as a moisturizer for dry skin as mineral oil. Could be comedogenic

glycerin 2% - 2.5%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant

Anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (tocopheryl linoleate) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.

tocopheryl linoleate 0.6% - 0.9%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A relative of vitamin E (Tocopherol). It can have an anti-oxidant effect in skin and/or to stabilize the product fromulation. It could be irritating but most of the reported allergy and irritation cases appeared in one geographic location (Switzerland) in 1992, and might be due to the quality issues in manufacturing of a particular batch of the ingredient

borago officinalis seed oil 0.45% - 0.7%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

A plant oil that is effective in reducing irritation in skin, restore the barrier function and support its hydration

daucus carota sativa root extract 0.25% - 0.45%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

Carrot extract. Might have anti-oxidant properties and be used to add orange color

Sun protection

This product does not offer sun protection, or it is very low.

This product can be considered "reef safe" because it does not contain the UV filters (oxybenzone and octinoxate) that can be harmful to coral reefs when present in the water in high concentrations.
