A 100% mineral sunscreen for skin that reacts to chemical filters
Avène Sun Very High Protection Mineral Lotion SPF50+ is a sunscreen made only with mineral filters, for photosensitive and intolerant skin on the face and body. Its photostable mineral filters protect against UVB and UVA rays, pre-tocopheryl, an antioxidant, helps protect skin cells from free radical damage, and Avène Thermal Spring Water soothes. It is fragrance-free and water-resistant.
The texture
A fluid white lotion that spreads over large areas. As with most mineral sunscreens, it leaves a light white film at first, which also shows you where you have applied it.
Who it suits
- Skin that reacts to chemical filters or fragrance
- Very fair or sun-sensitive skin
- Face and body, adults and children from 2 years
- Scars and fragile skin that need high protection
Worth knowing before you buy: Being fully mineral, it can leave a slight white cast, more visible on deeper skin tones. For a more discreet finish on the face, the tinted mineral versions are an option.
