If you are looking for effective protection against the harmful effects of the sun and without controversial ingredients for their harmfulness to your skin and the environment, discover our very high protection sunscreen certified organic COSMOS with snail slime.
The Agathe Sun® range does not use any of the chemical filters strongly suspected of being endocrine disruptors for humans and ecotoxic for the aquatic environment (Exp: coral bleaching).
Our formulation resulting from the latest advances in biological research, resists bathing, and is non-greasy and non-sticky. Enriched with 19% snail slime extract for the healing and regenerating action of allantoin as well as for these vitamins E & C also naturally present in our snail slime extract, our sunscreens help to soothe skin from oxidative stress in response to inflammation due to sun exposure.
frequently asked Questions
What preservative is used in your products to preserve the snail slime extract?
We use Sodium Benzoate as a preservative to preserve our snail slime extract and products. Sodium Benzoate is one of the five preservatives authorized in the COSMOS ORGANIC certification.
Should I apply the day cream under the sunscreen, or can it be used alone all year round?
It is recommended to apply a moisturizing day cream first, then add sunscreen on top. Sunscreen alone may not hydrate your skin sufficiently. On the other hand, we do not recommend using sunscreen all year round, but only when exposed to the sun.
Is sunscreen safe for the oceans?
Yes, our ocean-friendly sunscreen. Its ecological formulation has been specially designed to be respectful of marine fauna and flora.
Why use SPF 50+?
SPF 50+ provides optimal sun protection for all skin types, including the most sensitive, whether children or adults. It is particularly recommended in risky areas such as mountains, where sunshine can be particularly dangerous.
What is the reason behind the development of a tinted version of sunscreen?
The tinted sunscreen was created to neutralize the white effect of mineral filters, while providing a mattifying and unifying healthy glow effect. Its fluid and light texture does not stick, it is water resistant and it is environmentally friendly, thus preserving marine fauna and flora thanks to its ecological formulation.
The 6 fabulous actions of snail slime
MOISTURIZING ACTION
About 80% of skin is made up of elastin and collagen. These proteins, naturally present in snail slime, provide suppleness and elasticity to the skin.
ANTI-AGING ACTION
Allantoin and the RIF1 protein act on the aging process as well as cell renewal.
PURIFYING ACTION
Antimicrobial peptides, actin, and cytokeratins serve as a fulcrum for the immune system and limit the proliferation of bacteria on the skin.
HEALING ACTION
Allantoin and hemocyanin are involved in the wound healing process and promote tissue repair.
ANTIOXIDANT ACTION
Vitamins and serine proteases reduce inflammation and neutralize the action of free radicals.
EXFOLIATING ACTION
Glycolic acid restores radiance to the complexion by eliminating dead skin and helps reduce skin spots.
