The Elvou Zonnebrandcrème SPF 30 provides sun protection with a zinc oxide-based mineral UV filter. The formula is of natural origin and contains no silicones, parabens, synthetic fragrances or microplastics. The sunscreen is water-free, with a base of plant oils and waxes.
Mineral sun protection with zinc oxide
Zinc oxide is a mineral UV filter that provides protection against UV radiation. Unlike many organic UV filters, zinc oxide works at the skin's surface and helps to reduce UV radiation through absorption and scattering. Elvou sunscreen uses zinc oxide without nanoparticles. The filter is coated with polyhydroxystearic acid, a castor oil-based ingredient that helps distribute the filter throughout the formula.
Water-free formula with plant-based ingredients
The formula contains no added water and uses a base of caprylic/capric triglyceride, coconut oil, candelilla wax and sunflower wax. These ingredients contribute to the cream's texture. Isoamyl laurate and isoamyl cocoate are used to make the sunscreen easy to spread and help minimise a white cast.
The formula also contains tocopherol (vitamin E), an antioxidant that helps protect ingredients in the formula against oxidation. The sunscreen is free from synthetic silicones and synthetic fragrances.
Easy to use
With SPF 30, this sunscreen is intended to protect the skin against UV radiation. Apply generously before going out in the sun and reapply every 2 hours, especially after swimming, sweating or towel drying. Sunscreen does not provide complete protection against UV radiation, so avoid prolonged sun exposure and seek shade too.
Elvou Zonnebrandcrème SPF 30 is an option for those who prefer mineral sun protection with zinc oxide and a formula based on plant oils and waxes.
