Anthelios SX provides complete broad spectrum protection

The combination of these three UV active ingredients is complementary and their selection for the product provides continuous protection across the entire UV spectrum (290 - 400 nm range), with high protection in the UVA range, i.e., ecamsule (Mexoryl™SX) is the "gap-filler" in the UV spectrum between octocrylene and avobenzone curves.

Octocrylene protects against UVB rays.
Avobenzone protects against long UVA rays and is stabilized by Octocrylene.
Mexoryl™ SX is photostable and protects against short UVA rays to allow the most complete broad spectrum protection with the highest UVA coverage.

Why is a high PFA (Protection Factor UVA) level so important?

95% of the UV rays that reach the skin are UVA rays.
UVA rays penetrate deep into the dermis.
UVA rays account for over 80% of skin aging.
UVA rays have been linked to skin cancer.

Anthelios SX contains Mexoryl SX, the first and only stable sun filter designed to protect from short UVA rays.
