GUIDE
Sun protection — pick the right SPF
BIOSAR's Sunprotex range covers 8 SPF formats: oil-control fluid for oily skin, mineral cream for sensitive skin, kids cream for pediatric use, gel for the body, and a tinted BB cream that doubles as light makeup. The picker below matches each format to the skin profile it serves best.
Pourquoi ce guide
There is no single best SPF. The right format depends on your skin type, your activity, and the area you are protecting. Mineral filters (titanium dioxide, zinc oxide) lead the safety dossier and are the only filters appropriate for children, pregnancy, and reactive skin. The breakdown below pairs each Sunprotex format with the skin scenarios it was tuned for, so you do not need to compromise on either tolerance or finish.
- Étape 1
Oily and acne-prone skin
The oil-control fluid uses a matte non-comedogenic base and stacks niacinamide alongside the filters. It sits cleanly under makeup and does not accelerate midday shine.
- Étape 2
Sensitive, reactive, or dry skin
Sensitive skin tolerates 100 percent mineral SPF best. The dry-sensitive cream uses titanium dioxide + zinc oxide with hyaluronic acid and colloidal oatmeal to keep the formulation barrier-supportive rather than barrier-stressing.
- Étape 3
Children and pregnancy
The kids cream is fragrance-light, mineral-only, and dermatologically tested for skin from 6 months upward. Same formulation works for pregnant or breastfeeding adults who want the safest filter profile.
- Étape 4
Body and high-coverage zones
Spray and gel formats cover legs, arms, and back fast — the limiting factor for most people. Reapply every 2 hours during direct exposure. The standard cream serves as your face-and-neck format if your skin is normal-to-combination.
- Étape 5
Tinted SPF for everyday wear
The BB tinted cream gives SPF 50 plus a light tint that evens skin tone. It works as a no-makeup makeup option that still delivers full UV protection, which usually beats a separate base + SPF combo on consistency.

Questions fréquentes
How much SPF should I apply?
Two finger-lengths for face and neck. A shot-glass amount (roughly 30 ml) for full body. Most people apply between 25 and 50 percent of the tested amount, which drops effective SPF by half.
Mineral or chemical filters?
Mineral filters lead on safety and tolerance, especially for children, pregnancy, and reactive skin. Chemical filters often feel lighter on the skin but a small subset of users react to specific molecules. The Sunprotex line is mineral-led.
Do I need SPF indoors?
Visible-light pigmentation (a key driver of melasma) responds to indoor light too. If you sit near a window for hours, daily indoor SPF is worth applying. UVA also passes through window glass.
Can I skip moisturizer if my SPF is hydrating?
Most modern SPFs include hydration, but they are formulated to deliver UV protection first. If your skin reads dry by midday, a layer of moisturizer underneath improves comfort without reducing SPF.
