 💗 Recommended product

Dermatologists know that UVA rays are responsibloe for more than 80% of skin aging (fine lines, wrinkles, sagging, dark spots.  All year-long, even in cloudy weather, UVA rays penetrate the skin down to the dermis layer.  Specifically, long UVA rays (75% of total UV rays) are known to penetrate the deepest into the skin, generating free radicals, highly reactive aggressors that can alter skin cells' structures and provoke colalgen breakdown, leading to premature skin aging.  Dermatologists recommend using a daily broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection, in conjunction with other sun protection measures, to help prevent early skin aging.  Additionally, clinical evidence acknowledged by dermatologists has proven that antioxidants can be highly effective in helping counteract the harmful effect of free radicals.

Breakthrough innovation.  New Anthelios Aox SPF50 with reinforced Cell-Ox Shield™.  For the first time, La Roche-Posay combines our advanced UVA/UVB protection with a new, exclusive, and highly potent antioxidant complex chosen for its scavenging action on daily UV-induced free radicals.  T his all-in-one protection comes in a breakthrough serum texture taht feels weightless on skin and can be worn alone or along with a moisturizer and make-up.

Comprehensive protection against photoaging.  Advanced anti-aging UV filtering system:  A unique association of photostable sunscreens providing advanced broad spectrum protection, with demonstrated efficacy against UVA rays, the main cause of skin aging.  New high potent antioxidant complex.  Unlike traditional sunscreens, Anthelios AOX includes a highly powerful antioxidant complex acting as a second line of defense to help neutralize a wide spectrum of free radicals induced by daily UV exposure, even those induced by long UVA rays.  Chosen for their synergistic effects, this new combination of antioxidants helps protect the skin from free radicals, known to cause skin structure damaged which can lead to premature signs of skin aging such as fine lines, wrinkles and dark spots.  Breakthrough water-based serum texture for a fresh and invisible finish on skin.

Promotes immediately moisturized skin and visibly radiant look.  Day after day with daily use, skin is protected from UV exposure and free radicals.  The visible signs of photoaging are reduced, for visibly younger looking skin.

A pioneer in sun protection research for over 15 years, La Roche-Posay, with Anthelios, is trusted by dermatologists worldwide for its advanced formulations in UVA protection.  Anthelios AOX SPF 50 Daily Antioxidant Serum with sunscreen has been formulated and rigorously tested for optimal skin tolerance.

Paraben-free cosmetics

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in their report "Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products in the Environment: Agents of Subtle Change?" reported that the chemical preservatives called parabens—methyl, propyl, butyl and ethyl (alkyl-p-hydroxybenzoates)—displayed estrogenic activity in several tests. This means that these chemicals mimic your body´s own hormones and can have endocrine-disrupting action when they are rubbed into your body or washed down the drain into your drinking water.

The following cosmetics are paraben-free:

• AnneMarie Borlind Natural Beauty
• Aubrey Organics Skin, Body & Hair Care Products
• Caribbean Pacifics Suncare Products Dr. Hauschka
• Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps and all Terressentials products
• Earths Beauty Cosmetics
• Honeybee Gardens
• Kettle Care herbal Body Products
• Living Nature Products
• Logona Cosmetics
• Martina Gebhardt Naturkosmetiks
• Natural Solutions-Holistic Beauty&Health
• Organic Essentials Skincare (and Nutritional Product)
• Organic Excellence Hair Care Products
• Real Purity Cosmetics
• Restored Balance Herbal Products
• Sante Kosmetics
• Suki's Naturals

Forms of parabens:
Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, Propylparaben, Butylparaben, Benzyl-parahydroxybenzoic acid, Methyl-parahydroxybenzoic acid, Ethyl-parahydroxybenzoic acid, Propyl-parahydroxybenzoic acid, Butyl-parahydroxybenzoic acid, Parahydroxybenzoic acid and Parahydroxybenzoate.

Parabens are a cheap group of compounds used as preservatives found in several cosmetics/powders/lotions/mascara & even under arm deodorant. Parabens are absorbed through the skin. Measurable concentrations of six types of parabens have been identified in biopsy samples from 20 out of 20 breast tumors tested.

Parabens are also linked to mimicking estrogen effects in your body that throw your endocrine levels out of wack. Endocrine levels are what regulate your hormones & thyroid. Additional studies have began with extensive funding to test the link to parabens & cancer. Cosmetic companies use these to give their products a longer shelf life. Olay products, Clinique products even Hope in A jar is loaded with them. I even found it in my Bare Escentials mineral veil. Please take this information & read the ingredients on your cosmetics. Do not wait until the jury has decided that they are infact harmful. There are plenty of cosmetic companies out their that do not use them. Some are even starting to print it right on their labels. "Paraben free". You will find these as Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, Propylparaben & Butylparaben. These will be found near the bottom of the ingredient list on your packaging. Please educate yourself & a friend.
