- Licochalcone ALearn More
Licochalcone A is a powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and skin-soothing ingredient. It is derived from the root of the Chinese Licorice plant (Glycyrrhiza Inflata) which uses natural compounds to protect its cells from excessive sunlight. When used in skincare products, Licochalcone A works to reduce inflammation and neutralize free radicals that negatively influence skin cells and accelerate the aging process. It helps to protect the deeper epidermal skin layers from sun-induced effects.
FAQ
What SPF sunscreen do I need?
A Sun Protection Factor (SPF) extends the time it takes for the skin to burn by a certain factor. For example, a person who gets sunburnt after 30 minutes of sun exposure without sunscreen would not get sunburnt for 300 minutes using a sunscreen in high enough amounts with a sun protection factor of 30. However, it is best to only stay in the sun for up to 60% of this time, and remember that skin damage can occur even before sunburn is visible. Additionally we know that no sun protection product has a 100% protection.
Is Eucerin Sun Lotion Extra Light SPF 50 suitable for young children?
Eucerin Sun Lotion Extra Light SPF 50 was specifically developed for adults. Alternatively, for children over 1 year old try Eucerin Kids Sun Lotion SPF 50+ or Eucerin Kids Sun Spray SPF 50+. For babies over 6 months try Eucerin Kids Micropigment Sun Lotion SPF 25.
What is the difference between mineral and chemical UVA/UVB filters, and which one should I use?
Chemical filters are absorbed by the skin and transform UV rays into harmless innocuous warmth, whereas mineral filters remain on the surface of the skin and reflect and scatter UV rays that reach the surface of the skin. While chemical filters are generally considered to be safe, the use of mineral filters is advisable in case of intolerance towards chemical filters or for sun protection for babies and toddlers, whose skin is highly sensitive.
What is the difference between UVA and UVB rays?
Long wave UVA (Ultraviolet A) rays emitted by the sun penetrate deeply into the skin and are the originating factor of oxidative stress in the skin. They play a greater role in long-term sun damage and are a major cause of skin ageing and skin cancer. In addition, UVA rays may trigger polymorphic light eruption (PLE), the so-called sun allergy. Short wave UVB (Ultraviolet B) rays, on the contrary, cause immediate visible damage to the skin, leading to what we usually refer to as sunburn. It penetrates the skin less deeply than UVA but is the main responsibility for cellular DNA damage.
What product can I use for soothing skin that is already sunburnt?
As an after sun we recommend Eucerin After Sun Lotion, or, for allergy-prone skin, Eucerin Allergy Protection After Sun Creme-Gel. Having a sunburn you should avoid any further sun exposure until sun burn is healed. In severe cases of sun burn you should consult a doctor.
