Solar 2011, what's up?
Legislation side
1 ° New appellations
The French Agency for Health Safety of Health Products (Afssaps) has put in place four levels of protection in all letters to simplify the understanding of SPF in figures. You will be able to read on some products:
"Low" = SPF between 6 and 14
"Average" = SPF 15 to 29
"High" = SPF 30 to 59
"Very high" = SPF from 60.
2 ° End of the total misleading screen
In Europe the mention "total screen" and the index 100 are prohibited. Indeed, they could be responsible for Sun burn Allowing consumers to believe in total, unalterable protection, they felt protected without the need to reapply. The legislation has changed and the highest index is now the 50 which must, like the others, be applied every 2 hours.
Products side
1 ° Body and face: more light textures!
For a long time the textures of solar protections were thick, white and / or sticky. This was due to the size of the sunscreen molecules contained in the formulas, especially for the high indices. The formulators refined their research and the laboratories gradually succeeded in reducing the size of the filters, in particular by relying on the mineral sunscreens. We now find high protection liquid formulas, light and even in the form of water, a scientific feat unthinkable some time ago!

2 ° Hyper practices: continuous diffusion sprays
Always because of the size of the molecule and the thickness of the formulas, the solar ones have long been presented in bottles or spray with heavy diffusion. Indeed, it was necessary that the product can leave. But now, forget the manual spray on which it is necessary to press several times and whose tip locks inexorably after a fall in the sand! Here are multidirectional sprays with ocintinous diffusion. Keep your finger fingered and the product is sprayed continuously. In addition, their tips are cleaner and in one piece which avoids sand intrusion. Ideal for vaporizing restless children and also .... to reach oneself back!

- Avoid exposure between 12h and 16h
