When the sun shines, we receive 2 types of UV rays at the surface of our skin:
UVB:
- represents5%of the UV spectrum
- are responsible of visible effects such astanning orsunburns.
UVA:
- represent95%of the UV spectrum
- penetrate deeply on the skin layers
- are responsible of invisible effects such asoxidative stress and the decrease of skin immune defenses which lead to visible effects such asskin aging andskin cancers.
To avoid these effects andrather than overloading the skin with filters, BIODERMA has createdSUN ACTIVE DEFENSE, the high-technology sun protection, reinforced against UVA rays. It combines UV filters and a patented biological protection that improves the capacity of the skin to defend itself to help maintainlong-lasting care of itshealth in the sun and allow:
+24% Protection ofskin immune defenses
+26% Protection against oxidative stress
