Tinted mineral compact sunscreen
Description
Avène Solaire Sand Compact SPF 50+ is a very high protection, 100% mineral tinted compact sunscreen specially formulated for intolerant or weakened facial skin. Using only mineral filters (titanium dioxide and zinc oxide), it provides broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection that is photostable, water-resistant and fragrance-free, with no chemical filters and no parabens. The creamy cream-to-powder texture offers high coverage to camouflage skin imperfections and even out irregular pigmentation, leaving a natural, homogeneous and matte finish. Enriched with Avène Thermal Spring Water and pre-tocopheryl (a vitamin E precursor), it helps soothe the skin and protect cells against free radicals, making it suitable for sensitive, reactive and sun-intolerant skin.
