How to choose your organic sunscreen?

As with all cosmetics, sunscreen is chosen according to your skin type, and also your way of life: in town or at the beach, for a sports session... to each his own protection!

Which daily face sunscreen?

The skin of the face is thinner and more fragile than that of the body, and more exposed to UV rays throughout the year. Hence the importance of including an SPF in your beauty routine, summer and winter alike!

Which organic sunscreen for acne-prone skin?

Acne-prone skin needs UV protection to avoid scarring and maintain healthy skin. The sun can give the impression of reducing imperfections but it is only ephemeral, beware of the rebound effect and pimples when you detain! The challenge when you have a combination to oily and acne-prone skin: find an organic sunscreen that does not clog pores and does not make the skin greasy.
Opt for a non-comedogenic formula, with a light texture and a matte/powdery finish. Mineral filters have the advantage of being very beneficial for this type of skin: zinc in particular helps cleanse the skin, regulate excess sebum and boost healing.

Our selection:

- Odacité's Invisible Mineral Drops SPF50 sunscreen provides high anti-aging protection while being lightweight and without a white cast. Its formula, enriched with niacinamide, green tea, squalane, and calendula, regulates sebum, soothes, and protects the skin from UVA, UVB, and aging. The result? Perfectly protected, hydrated, and comfortable skin, without shine or greasy feel, ideal for oily and acne-prone skin.

- Eco By Sonya SPF 30 face sunscreen is enriched with antibacterial zinc to protect skin without clogging pores, with a non-greasy, non-sticky finish. Cucumber, green tea, and wild rose extracts help regenerate the skin and keep it healthy.

- The Daily SPF 50 Primer Indie Lee is specially designed for oily skin in need of effective daily sun protection. Enriched with niacinamide, vitamin E, and rice bran extract, it regulates excess oil, reduces the appearance of pores, and hydrates without weighing down the skin. Its tinted formula leaves a golden veil, naturally illuminating the complexion, while offering broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection. The result: a mattified, smooth, and protected complexion, perfect for daily use.

Psst, the 3 face sunscreens presented in the following paragraph are also very well suited to combination to oily and acne-prone skin, with an SPF50 ;)

Which organic sunscreen is for pregnant women, or for sensitive skin?

It is particularly important to protect yourself from the sun when you are pregnant, to avoid the mask of pregnancy or melasma, which can be difficult to remove. The ideal is to opt for an SPF 50 sunscreen without perfume and be tested for future mothers.

Like pregnant women, sensitive skin will opt for a hypoallergenic and fragrance-free sunscreen, ideally SPF50. Mineral sunscreens are often better suited to sensitive skin than chemical filters, some of which are allergenic. The tinted formulas will be ideal for reducing redness and unifying the complexion!

Our selection :

- The Alga Maris SPF50+ Organic Sunscreen Spray from Laboratoires de Biarritz provides optimal protection against UV rays with its 100% mineral formula and Alga-Gorria® antioxidant. Lightweight, water-resistant, and safe for pregnancy, it hydrates and protects sensitive skin while being easy to apply.

- The Antipodes Supernatural Ceramide Sunscreen SPF50+ offers maximum protection against UVA and UVB rays. Its silky texture nourishes and brightens the skin, while smoothing and maintaining its glow. The result? Radiant, protected skin with no greasy feel or white residue, perfect as a makeup base. Suitable for sensitive skin, it is water-resistant and fragrance-free.

Which organic anti-aging sunscreen?

One of the advantages of organic sunscreen is its care formula enriched with regenerating active ingredients and antioxidants. It is an ally of choice to prevent premature skin aging and the appearance of pigment spots. We can never repeat it enough: face sunscreen is the best anti-aging product, to be applied daily (even in winter), over your moisturizer, or in replacement of it. In addition to shielding against UVB rays, it also protects against UVA rays responsible for premature aging.

The must? Combine it with a vitamin C serum to multiply its antioxidant benefits!

Our selection:

- The Holi (Soleil) SPF 50 Sunscreen by Agent Nateur protects the skin from UVA, UVB rays, and blue light, while hydrating and illuminating it. Enriched with hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and mushroom extract, it provides intense hydration and firms the skin, preventing premature aging. Its antioxidant and ultra-light formula leaves a transparent finish without white residue, giving the skin a glowy and protected look, perfect for daily use.

- The Mineral Drops SPF50 Sunscreen by Odacité offers high-performance anti-aging protection against UVA and UVB rays. Enriched with niacinamide, green tea, plant squalane, and soothing chamomile and calendula extracts, it prevents skin aging, smooths wrinkles and fine lines, and evens out the complexion. Its ultra-light liquid texture and transparent finish provide optimal comfort daily, with no white residue, greasiness, or stickiness. Perfect for skin prone to early wrinkles and pigment spots, it also serves as an ideal makeup base.

Is organic tinted sunscreen, good or bad idea?

Between skincare and make-up, the organic tinted sunscreen unifies the complexion and gives you a healthy glow effect with a luminous finish.

It is perfect to replace your foundation or BB cream on sunny days! Thanks to its pigments, it blends perfectly with the skin for a totally invisible result without white marks.

Which organic sunscreen for the summer?

For holidays on the beach or by the pool, we ideally choose a waterproof sunscreen, and we favor 2-in-1 face and body formulas, suitable for the whole family. The most practical to (re)apply in the blink of an eye at the water's edge? Spray formats, with a fluid texture and no white marks. To sublimate the tan once the skin is golden, why not opt for a sun oil enriched with karanja oil, a vegetable oil with a natural SPF that softens the skin and leaves it deliciously satiny. The little extra? It can also be applied to the hair, to avoid the famous straw effect!

Which organic sunscreen is for babies & children?

Children's skin is very sensitive to the sun since, before the age of 3, their immature skin has not put in place all the systems aimed at defending itself. From the age of 3, this system is just beginning to take shape, but the skin is still very fragile and particularly sensitive to UV rays, dryness, and dehydration, but also to allergenic substances which penetrate more easily. For babies or children, you, therefore, need a cream with a high protection factor (SPF 50), water-resistant, hypoallergenic, and non-drying in order to maintain a sufficient protective lipid film. The best organic baby & child sunscreens

Which organic sunscreen for athletes?

To protect yourself from the sun during outdoor activities (hiking, jogging, surfing, etc.), we rely on a waterproof formula, ultra resistant to water and perspiration which degrades the sun filters.
For the most fragile areas we think of the sun stick, a nomadic format easy to take with you everywhere, and ultra protective.

Our selection:

- Biosolis SPF 50+ sports sun milk can be used on the face and body, to protect against UV rays while resisting perspiration, in all situations!

- Designed for sun-exposed areas, the Madara Mineral Sunscreen Stick SPF 50 offers practical and discreet protection. Its Invisible Nude tint blends seamlessly into the skin, leaving no white marks, for quick application and touch-ups, ideal for those frequently outdoors.

How to protect a scar from the sun?

To protect a scar, opt for a highly covering and protective sun stick. Our favorite? The Laboratoires de Biarritz tinted sunscreen stick SPF50+, designed to cover the areas most vulnerable to the sun (pigment spots, melasma and scars). No white effect with its tinted formula, which effectively camouflages and discreetly blends into the skin.
