SUN CARE CATEGORY – Whether you are planning a long beach vacation, a relaxed picnic in the park, or simply walking the city streets every day, sun exposure requires adequate preparation and protection. The sun brings us joy, a tan, and necessary vitamin D, but without a proper shield, UV radiation becomes the main cause of premature aging, painful sunburns, and permanent damage at the cellular level. In this category, you will find the widest range of premium products that will protect your skin and keep it healthy, hydrated, and radiant throughout the summer, but also the rest of the year.
It is important to know that the Sun Protection Factor (SPF) is not reserved only for the beach. While UVB rays cause surface sunburns, UVA rays – which are responsible for the breakdown of collagen, the creation of deep wrinkles, and the appearance of dark spots (hyperpigmentation) – are present all year round and penetrate even through clouds and glass. That is why the daily use of protective creams is the basis of every anti-aging routine. Our products are carefully formulated to provide an invisible but extremely strong shield, tailored to the specific needs of each skin type, without a heavy feeling or clogging pores.
What can you find in this category?
- Sunscreens: Our sunscreens are available in various SPF levels, from SPF 15 for basic daily protection, to SPF 50+ for intensive protection during prolonged sun exposure. They provide defense against UVA and UVB rays, preventing burns and long-term damage. Available for different skin types (dry, oily, sensitive, and combination).
- Sun sprays: Ideal for quick and easy application, especially on large body areas. They are easy to apply and absorb quickly, making them perfect for active people and families with children. They are waterproof and provide long-lasting protection during swimming or sweating.
- Sun gels and lotions: Gels have a light texture, absorb quickly, and leave no greasy residue (ideal for oily or acne-prone skin). Lotions are richer and provide extra hydration, making them great for people with dry skin.
- Face protection products: Facial skin is especially sensitive. Here you can find high-SPF face creams and fluids specially formulated to protect the face without clogging pores, often enriched with antioxidants for extra care.
- Products for babies and children: Children's skin is very sensitive. We offer dermatologically tested products free of parabens and irritants, with high SPF. They are mild, waterproof, and provide long-lasting safety for the little ones.
- After-sun care products: Creams, lotions, and gels enriched with aloe vera, panthenol, and vitamin E. They soothe the skin, restore moisture, and prolong your tan.
Who can use these products?
- Children and babies: Specially formulated products for the sensitive skin of the youngest.
- Adults: A wide range of products for different skin types and activity levels.
- People with sensitive skin: Hypoallergenic products without irritants, intended for those with allergy-prone skin.
- Active people: Waterproof products that stay on the skin even during intense activities (sports, swimming).
Pharmacist's advice
For effective protection, the amount of cream you apply is very important! For the face and neck, you need to apply the amount of cream that fits on the length of your two fingers (index and middle finger). Also, remember that no product, even one labeled "waterproof," lasts forever. Be sure to reapply every 2 hours, as well as immediately after every exit from the water or towel drying.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is the difference between chemical and mineral (physical) filters?
Mineral filters (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide) stay on the skin's surface and reflect sun rays like a mirror, making them ideal for children and people with extremely sensitive skin. Chemical filters are absorbed into the skin, where they absorb UV rays and convert them into heat; their advantage is that they have a lighter texture and do not leave white marks.
2. Do I have to wear sunscreen if I work in an office all day?
Yes! UVA rays, which are the main cause of skin aging (photoaging) and dark spots, easily pass through the glass of your office or car window. A daily cream with a sun protection factor is mandatory, regardless of how much time you spend outside.
