While summer is definitely over, one of our top selling products year round at PhaMix is the line of La Roche Posay Anthelios sunscreens. And there’s good reason. Anthelios sunscreens are formulated with a patented sun filtering system that includes Mexoryl SX, Mexoryl XL, titanium dioxide, avobenzone and octocrylene. (Check labels carefully – although Anthelios sunscreens that we carry all contain the Mexoryl filtering system, those in some countries do not). This blend of sun filters delivers unparalleled UVA/UVB protection in a photostable base. The photostability of the sun filtering complex means that you don’t have to worry about your sun protection fading away under the sun.
We carry a wide range of Anthelios sunscreens and the choice can sometimes be overwhelming. In fact one of the most frequently asked questions is “Which Anthelios sunscreen is right for me?” Here’s a quick guide about how to select the appropriate Anthelios sunscreen for your needs:
