There have been some recent studies cited in the news suggesting that sunscreens contain some potentially harmful chemicals. Other conflicting information suggests that sunscreens block out too much vitamin D. For answers to these and other questions about suncreens, see the latest newsletter from the Skin Cancer Foundation, a non-profit group that has all of the facts.

Anthelios #60 Ultralight Fluid
I am very enthusiastic about the new La Roche sunscreen, Anthelios #60. I have been using the Anthelios #15 as a daily sunscreen and love the light, non-greasy texture but been awaiting a high SPF sunscreen that has the same feel. This product fits the bill.
Anthelios #60 provides a high UVA protection factor (UVA causes Aging and Sun Allergies) as well as UVB protection (SPF #60 UVB causes sunburning). The company claims that antioxidants, including a plant extract, added to the sunscreen provide a second line of defense. Several antioxidants do reduce sun damage so it will be interesting to see some scientific research to back up these claims. . .
I have tried the Ultra Light fluid for faces. . It absorbs into the skin right away without leaving any white film . It is a great product for every day use when a higher SPF sunscreen is needed (those who work outdoors, are prone to brown spots on the face, etc) There is also a lotion for dry skin and a more waterproof body formulation. Anthelios #60 is available in our office, at our web store as well as at select pharmacies.
Please post your comments after trying this product.
