Licochalcone A is a potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant active that is derived from the roots of the Chinese licorice plant Glycyrrhiza inflata. Licochalcone A protects cells from oxidative stress mediated by UV and blue light (HEVIS).
Licochalcone A is able to activate anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and detoxifying enzymes. These enzymes protect the skin cells from damage induced by oxidative stress, like lipid peroxidation and DNA as wells as protein damage. Licochalcone A is able to soothe irritated skin and redness.
Glycyrrhetinic acid (also called Enoxolon) is derived from the roots of Glycyrrhiza glabra (licorice plant) and is well-known in traditional Chinese medicine. It is a pentacyclic triterpenoid with anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties.
Glycyrrhetinic acid helps to preserve the level of hyaluronic acid and elastin against enzymatic degradation by hyaluronidase. Furthermore supports the skin's own repair mechanism against UV-induced DNA damage.
Hyaluronic Acid is formed by skin cells and is part of the connective tissue of the skin. One of its key functions is to retain moisture, and it has the ability to bind in between 1,000 and 10,000 times its own weight in water (i.e. one gram binds between one and ten liters). As we age, the skin's natural ability to produce Hyaluronic Acid depletes and wrinkles start to form and deepen.
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.
Why does sensitive skin need special suncare?
Given its weakened protective barrier, sensitive skin is more vulnerable to irritants. It is therefore important that sun protection is specifically formulated for, and tested on, sensitive skin and that its properties answer the particular needs of the condition.
Is Eucerin Sun Creme Tinted SPF 50+ CC Creme Medium suitable for young children?
Eucerin Sun Creme Tinted SPF 50+ CC Creme Medium was specifically developed for adult skin. For children over 3 month old try Eucerin Kids Sun Lotion SPF 50+, Eucerin Kids Sun Spray SPF 50+ or if you prefer mineral filter try Eucerin Kids Micropigment Sun Lotion SPF 30.
What is the difference between Eucerin Sun Creme Tinted CC Medium SPF 50+ and Eucerin Sun Creme SPF 50+?
While both these sunscreens are SPF 50+ and offer a very high level of sun protection, Eucerin Sun Creme Tinted CC Medium SPF 50+ contains colour pigments for an even natural tanned looking skin tone, and also allows you cover up pigment spots or skin imperfections. It has a light texture suitable for all skin types. Eucerin Sun Creme SPF 50+ is suitable for sensitive, dry skin, even for atopic dermatitis.
What is the difference between mineral and chemical UVA/UVB filters, and which one should I use?
Chemical filters absorb UV rays 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.
