The formulas have been assessed using the EcoSun Pass method, which analyses the ecological impact of sun care products throughout their life cycle to promote more environmentally friendly formulations.

Are the organic UV filters used by Sothys safe for the skin?

Yes. The UV filters used in Sothys sun care products are selected in accordance with the applicable European cosmetics regulation, which strictly governs authorised filters and their maximum concentrations of use.

UV filters authorised in Europe undergo a scientific safety assessment before being used in cosmetic products.

Sothys formulas are developed in compliance with these regulatory requirements to ensure their safety under normal and reasonably foreseeable conditions of use.

Do sun care products with SPF prevent tanning?

No. Sun protection with SPF reduces the amount of UV rays reaching the skin, but does not block them completely. It is therefore possible to tan gradually while using suitable sun protection.

For effective protection, apply your sun care product generously and evenly before exposure, then reapply regularly, especially after swimming, sweating or towelling.

Even with sun protection, it is recommended to avoid prolonged exposure and the hours when solar radiation is most intense. Discover and buy this line in the Sun care section. For more in-depth professional advice, we invite you to contact your Sothys beautician who, after a precise beauty diagnosis, can recommend the routine best suited to your skin. Visit the Find my salon section.

Should you apply sun protection even in the shade?

Yes. Even in the shade, your skin remains exposed to some UV rays, particularly because they are scattered in the atmosphere and reflected by certain surfaces such as water, sand or the ground.

It is therefore recommended to apply suitable sun protection, even when you stay in the shade, and to reapply it regularly.

To complete your protection, also favour covering clothing, a hat and sunglasses, and avoid prolonged exposure at the times when solar radiation is most intense.

What is the difference between UVA and UVB?

UVA and UVB are two types of ultraviolet rays emitted by the sun that do not act on the skin in the same way.

UVA penetrates deeper into the skin and contributes in particular to skin photo-ageing and the appearance of visible signs such as wrinkles and pigmentation spots.

UVB acts mainly on the epidermis and is the main cause of sunburn.

Both UVA and UVB can cause skin damage. It is therefore essential to choose a broad-spectrum UVA/UVB sun protection, apply it generously and reapply it regularly.

What is the difference between SPF30 and SPF50?

The SPF (Sun Protection Factor) indicates a sun care product's level of protection against UVB, which is mainly responsible for sunburn.

Under standardised test conditions and when the product is applied in sufficient quantity, an SPF30 filters about 97% of UVB, while an SPF50 filters about 98%.

Even if the difference may seem small, an SPF50 lets through about 1% of UVB compared with about 3% for an SPF30: it therefore offers higher protection.

Whatever SPF you choose, no sun care product blocks 100% of UV. It is essential to apply the protection generously and evenly, then reapply regularly, especially after swimming, sweating or towelling.
