Tinted mineral compact sunscreen
Description
Avène Solar Gold Compact SPF 50+ (Haute Protection Compact Teinté Doré SPF 50) is a very high protection, 100% mineral tinted compact sunscreen specifically formulated for intolerant, weakened or hypersensitive facial skin. Using only mineral filters (titanium dioxide and zinc oxide), it offers broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB (short and long) rays, is photostable, water-resistant, and free from chemical filters, parabens and fragrance. The gold (doré) tinted cream-to-powder texture provides high coverage to conceal skin imperfections and irregular pigmentation, leaving a natural, homogeneous and matte complexion. Enriched with Avène Thermal Spring Water and pre-tocopheryl (vitamin E precursor), it soothes sensitive skin while providing antioxidant cellular protection.
