Sun allergy protection for face and body

UV light is the main cause of sun-induced skin damage, but high-energy visible (HEVIS) light can also induce free radicals that cause further stress to skin.

Eucerin Sun Allergy Protect Sun Crème Gel SPF50 is a face and body sunscreen specially formulated for skin prone to sun-induced allergies such as Polymorphus Light Eruption (PLE). The Advanced Spectral Technology combines broadband and photostable UVA/UVB filters1 for high UV protection with Licochalcone A to neutralize free radicals caused by UV and HEVIS light. It also contains Alpha-Glycosylrutin which helps to prevent sun-induced allergies such as PLE.

Unperfumed, to minimize the risk of skin irritation, the non-greasy and non-sticky creme-gel absorbs quickly and is water-resistant.

(1.) Meeting the high standards for UVA and UVB protection defined by Cosmetics Europe. The levels of UVA protection are higher than the EU recommendation.

Clinical and dermatological studies

Clinical and dermatological studies prove very good tolerability on skin prone to sun allergies such as PLE.

Main findings

Among other clinical and dermatological studies, a Product in Use (PiU) study was conducted amongst 133 women aged between 22 and 55 all of whom suffer from skin allergies and are regular users of sun protection products.
