  • Licochalcone A

    Licochalcone A is a powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and skin-soothing ingredient. It is derived from the root of the Chinese Licorice plant (Glycyrrhiza Inflata) which uses natural compounds to protect its cells from excessive sunlight. When used in skincare products, Licochalcone A works to reduce inflammation and neutralises free radicals that negatively influence skin cells and accelerate the aging process. It helps to protect the deeper epidermal skin layers from sun-induced effects.

FAQ

What SPF sunscreen do I need?

Sun Protection Factor (SPF) extends the time it takes for the skin to burn by a certain factor. For example, a person who gets sunburnt after 30 minutes of sun exposure without sunscreen would not get sunburnt for 300 minutes using a sunscreen in high enough amounts with a sun protection factor of 30. However, it is best to only stay in the sun for up to 60% of this time, and remember that skin damage can occur even before sunburn is visible. Additionally we know that no sun protection product has a 100% protection.

Is Eucerin Sun Lotion Extra Light Sensitive Protect SPF50+ suitable for young children?

Eucerin Sun Lotion Extra Light Sensitive Protect SPF50+ was specifically developed for adults. Alternatively, for children over 1 year old try Eucerin Kids Sun Lotion Sensitive Protect SPF 50+

What is the difference between mineral and chemical UVA/UVB filters, and which one should I use?

Chemical filters are absorbed by the skin and transform UV rays into harmless warmth, whereas mineral filters remain on the surface of the skin and reflect and scatter UV rays that reach the surface of the skin. While chemical filters are generally considered to be safe, the use of mineral filters is advisable in case of intolerance towards chemical filters or for sun protection for babies and toddlers, whose skin is highly sensitive.

What is the difference between UVA and UVB rays?

Long wave UVA (Ultraviolet A) rays emitted by the sun penetrate deeply into the skin and are the originating factor of oxidative stress in the skin. They play a greater role in long-term sun damage and are a major cause of skin ageing and skin cancer. In addition, UVA rays may trigger polymorphic light eruption (PLE), the so-called sun allergy. Short wave UVB (Ultraviolet B) rays, on the contrary, cause immediate visible damage to the skin, leading to what we usually refer to as sunburn. It penetrates the skin less deeply than UVA but is the main responsibility for cellular DNA damage.

    Packaging Change
    I'm not sure if you've rebranded, but the packaging of this Sunscreen has changed and seemingly the formulation as well. I have been using it for years with no problems and my most recent purchase has broken me out quite badly. It is extremely watery and heavily fragranced. I'm not sure what's happened but I am now forced to change brands. Disappointing as this was a favourite of mine for a couple of years

    Good product
    I love this product. However, I had to stop using it because it contains parfum and my skin is very sensitive. It would be incredible if you could remove parfum.

    Testers
    Do you provide testers?

    Hi Farah

    Thank you for your enquiry.  At the moment, we don't provide testers, due in the main, to the very large number of products in our ranges as well as the wide retail distribution network into which we sell.  Before making your purchase, may we perhaps suggest viewing your product of interest on the web-site.  Should you require further information on a particular product, please don't hesitate to write to us at ConsumerSA.External@beiersdorf.com.  Many thanks for your interest in our brand and for taking the trouble to get in touch

    Many thanks,

    Eucerin ZA
