The French family-cabinet emulsion for red, heated skin
Biafine Emulsion is a trolamine emulsion for hot, red-looking skin, and a staple of French family cabinets. Its main ingredient, trolamine, comes in a light, fluid oil-in-water base with avocado oil, squalane and paraffin that helps limit water loss and keeps the skin supple. Read the leaflet in the box before use. It comes in a 93g tube for the home and a 186g tube for families or long summers.
The texture
A white, fluid emulsion that spreads in seconds and feels cool on hot skin. It is meant to be applied in a thick layer and left to soak in, not rubbed hard, so it works well on areas that are too sensitive to massage. It has a light, clean scent.
Who it suits
- Skin that feels hot and red after too much sun
- Anyone wanting one simple soothing emulsion at home
Worth knowing before you buy: Biafine contains parabens and fragrance. Do not use it on infected, bleeding or oozing wounds, near the eyes, or as a sunscreen. It is not meant for deep or extensive burns.
Which size to choose
The 93g tube is enough for occasional use at home. The 186g tube suits families, holidays in the sun, or anyone who needs several applications a day over a few weeks.
