Sun exposure is essential for life, supporting vitamin D synthesis, biological rhythms and even mood enhancement.
Yet the same sun that invigorates the skin also poses risks: from sunburn to long-term concerns like photo-ageing and skin cancer. The challenge? Delivering robust UV defense without compromising feel, comfort or aesthetics.
Exploring 13 innovative formulas
To illustrate this vision, Gattefossé has developed a kit of 13 formulas, all suncare being tested in vivo to ensure proven performance. These formulations are built on three distinct chassis: fully chemical, fully mineral, and hybrid to bring out the best of each category in terms of protection, texture, and sensory experience. Two additional skincare-inspired formulas complete the routine, offering soothing and repairing benefits for aftersun care.
Sensory science in action
At the heart of these creations, Gattefossé carefully selects ingredients to balance efficacy and skin feel. Emulium® Illustro optimizes UV-filter dispersion, while Emulfree™ CBG MB provides freshness, lightness, and water resistance. Other components based on the wax butter technology, such as Emulium® Dermolea MB, Emulium® Dolcea MB, and Acticire® MB, enhance both sensoriality and performance, making application smooth, comfortable, and effective.
Where protection meets pleasure
By uniting proven efficacy, sensory expertise, and formulation science, Gattefossé turns sun protection into a refined skincare experience.
