The Avene Suncare range includes a variety of products to meet all sun protection needs. Here are some of the products available:
For optimum sun protection, it's important to apply Avene sun cream evenly and in sufficient quantities. It is recommended to apply a generous amount of product (about a teaspoon for the face and an equivalent amount for each limb of the body) at least 15 minutes before exposure to the sun. It's also important to reapply the product every two hours and after swimming or sweating.
The SPF, or sun protection factor, indicates the amount of protection offered by a suncare product. Avene suncare products are available in a range of SPFs, from 30 to 50+. The SPF you need will depend on your skin type and the duration of your exposure to the sun. People with fair, sensitive skin will need a higher SPF than those with dark or tanned skin.
Avene sun care products offer protection against UVA and UVB rays, while moisturizing and soothing the skin. The presence of Avène thermal spring water in the products helps soothe the skin and reduce inflammation caused by sun exposure. The physical sunscreens in Avène products are also more environmentally friendly than chemical sunscreens.
Following the publication of several articles on the subject of a request that ANSES would have sent to the government with a view to restricting the use of the octocrylene sunscreen filter, it is important to point out that Klorane, Avène and ADerma sunscreens do not contain octocrylene.
Eau Thermale Avène, since its first Écran Total sun care product in 1987, has never ceased to advance photoprotection with growing respect for the environment.
In 2010, the brand launched a research program aimed at eliminating octocrylene from its suncare formulas. In 2013, this program made it possible to replace octocrylene with a combination of 4 sunscreens* offering equivalent photoprotection with optimal biodegradability and reduced impact on the marine environment.
And to go even further, 2 years ago Pierre Fabre launched its own sun filter, TRIASORB™, the 1st organic filter with the unique feature of absorbing and reflecting the harmful part of the solar spectrum, which includes UVB, short UVA, long UVA but also visible high-energy blue light.
TRIASORB™, manufactured at Pierre Fabre's Gaillac plant in the Tarn region of France, has also passed numerous tests under experimental conditions to prove its lack of toxicity on 3 key species of marine biodiversity: a coral species, a phytoplankton species and a zooplankton species.
