On sunny café terraces, at the pool, in the mountains or on the beach, we're switching to organic sun protection mode! Thanks to natural sun creams, you can now enjoy an eco-friendly tan. The effectiveness of organic sun creams in protecting the skin from the sun is well established. So why deprive yourself of these organic mineral filters that do you only good?
Between chemical filters that pollute the oceans, dubious preservatives and endocrine disruptors that put you at risk of cancer, it's hard to choose the right sun protection at the chemist's to enjoy the sun with peace of mind.
As for the other ingredients, traditional sun creams often contain
All these substances are banned from an organic sun cream whose ingredients are of natural origin. A natural tinted sun cream also has the advantage of containing numerous moisturizing, nourishing and antioxidant active ingredients that care for the skin, such as vegetable oils and aloe vera.
It's also advisable to choose your organic sunscreen according to your activity and exposure conditions: if you live in the city and don't get much exposure during the day, a light SPF15 protection will be sufficient. If you plan to go swimming, you'll need a water-resistant organic sunscreen.

An organic sun cream is distinguished by the use of mineral filters such as titanium dioxide or zinc oxide, which act by reflecting UV rays, unlike chemical filters which absorb them. These mineral filters are not only effective, but also better tolerated by sensitive skin. What's more, an organic sunscreen favors ingredients of natural origin, oftenorganically grown, and excludes controversial substances such as parabens, silicones, nanoparticles or harmful chemical filters.
Organic formulations are enriched with nourishing active ingredients such as aloe vera, shea butter and vegetable oils, which moisturize and soothe the skin while protecting it. These creams are often certified by reliable labels such as Ecocert, Cosmos Organic or Nature & Progrès, guaranteeing their organic quality and respect for the environment.
The mineral filters used in organic sun creams offer immediate protection against UVA and UVB rays as soon as they are applied. Unlike chemical filters, they remain on the skin's surface and do not penetrate the body, reducing the risk of allergic reactions or irritation.
Thanks to their natural composition, organic sun creams are perfectly suited to fragile skin, including that of babies and children. Free from irritating chemicals, they offer optimum protection while respecting the skin's balance.
Organic sunscreens have minimal impact on the marine ecosystem. Unlike chemical filters, which are known to damage coral reefs and disrupt marine biodiversity, mineral filters are harmless to aquatic flora and fauna.
Enriched with vegetable oils, natural butters and plant extracts, organic sun creams moisturize and repair the skin, while providing sun protection. These natural active ingredients help prevent dryness and irritation often caused by prolonged exposure to the sun.
Certified labels guarantee that organic sun creams meet strict standards, with organic ingredients and sustainable manufacturing processes. These certifications are a guarantee of quality and transparency for consumers.
For optimum protection, it's important to use your organic sun cream correctly. Apply the cream generously to all exposed areas of your body at least 20 minutes before exposure. Pay particular attention to areas often overlooked, such as the ears, neck, feet or back of hands.
Reapply every 2 hours and after every swim or sports session, even if the cream is water-resistant. Remember to avoid prolonged exposure during the hottest hours of the day, between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. Complement your protection with light clothing, wide-brimmed hats and sunglasses.
