The Complete Photo Protection Concept

State of the art sun protection products should provide UVB and UVA protection as a primary shield.

Today´s sunscreens can however no longer be based on the sun protection factor (SPF) alone - they have to be effective in more than that. According to the latest scientific results, protection against UV induced immune suppression and protection against UV induced DNA-damage [1] are recommended as a secondary shield.

The concept presented here takes the latest research into consideration: It comprises a new UV filter generation of capsules (Eusolex^® UV-Pearls^TM), mineral UVA/UVB filters based on Eusolex^® Titanium Dioxides and the natural cell protection factor with UVA protection properties, RonaCare^® Ectoin.
 

This Complete Photo Protection Concept covers the classical approach of absorbing or scattering UVA and UVB light on top of the skin. The mineral UV filters as well as the encapsulation technology for organic UV filters allow for improving the SPF performance and reducing the dermal uptake, resulting in less skin irritation. The cell protection factor Ectoin offers UVA protection properties as well as protection against immune suppression and UV induced DNA-damage inside the skin to complete the UV filters´ action.
