UVA protection to help prevent the effects of sun damage:

Anthelios 40 is a unique sunscreen that combines Parsol® 1789 (avobenzone) and an innovative ingredient, Mexoryl™ SX (ecamsule), to help provide:

• UVA protection (short and long wavelengths)
• Broad UVA/UVB protection in a formula with patented technology.

Anthelios 40 helps provide protection from UVA rays.

How does Mexoryl™ SX (ecamsule) protect skin from UVA rays?
Parsol® 1789 (avobenzone) is very effective at the midpoint of the UVA spectrum, but provides less protection against short UVA wavelengths.  Mexoryl™ SX (ecamsule) provides peak efficacy against these short UVA rays.  The combination of Parsol® 1789 (avobenzone) and Mexoryl™ SX (ecamsule) helps provide UVA protection.

Octocrylene, Mexoryl™ SX (ecamsule) and Parsol® 1789 (avobenzone) absorb UV rays; titanium dioxide absorbs, reflects, and scatters UV light.

Sun alert: Limiting sun exposure, wearing protective clothing, and using sunscreens may reduce the risk of skin aging, skin cancer, and the other harmful effects of the sun

Even if you do not burn, repeated exposure of unprotected skin while tanning may increase the risk of skin aging, skin cancer, and other harmful effects to the skin.
