I’m choosing between two European sunscreens – Avene Suncare and La-Roche Posay Anthelios, both with excellent UVB protection and high PPD rating. However, La-Roche Posay uses Mexoryl while Avene uses Tinasorb for its filters. I read somewhere that Tinasorb protects better on the higher UVA ray spectrum (sorry for the layman understanding) and is therefore more effective in preventing a tan. I am very concerned about my face/body darkening as I prefer to remain fair, and am wondering if Tinasorb (Avene) would be better than Mexoryl (La-Roche P) for my concern? It seems La-Roche Posay is more popular than Avene.

I would appreciate an email-reply!

Thank you Vanity – I didn’t know Anthelios XL had tinosorb as well as mexoryl (I don’t know the relevant chemical names to look for in the ingredient list). I am in the UK, they have just started selling Roche Posay here.

K, there is no way of converting Boots stars into PPD and back. The Anthelios XL line is great though and also used Tinosorb S, just like many other European L’Oreal sunscreens.

So am I better off using Soltan for the tinosorb or La Roche Posay Anthelios XL for the mexoryl?

The other thing that confuses me, soltan gives a UVA rating in terms of stars, five stars being the maximum. Roche Posay seems to have something for measuring UVA protection called PPD. How can I work out what the Roche Posay UVA rating is in terms of the five star system?

I hope this ingredient will start to replace that darn octinoxate in the future… unless I react to this too, which would be no good
