SCIENCE OF THE SUN

A STANCE IN FAVOUR OF THE SUN, AND AGAINST TRADITIONAL WAYS OF THINKING

Institut Esthederm’s  suncare products  protect youthfulness and can change your skin’s fate when it comes to sun exposure. Since its foundation, Institut Esthederm has  focused its research on exploring how the skin interacts with the sun. Its research has enabled major scientific breakthroughs which now mean that Esthederm’s sun  protection products are some of the most highly effective youth-preserving products on the market. 

More than mere sun protection, these products embody a certain way of living in the sun, a unique pleasure, reserved to the lucky few.

N°1

OUR BELIEF: LIVE WITH THE SUN, NOT WITHOUT IT

It all started with a sun-loving pharmacist and biologist whose convictions ran counter to traditional thinking: no life without sun. There is no life without sun, because humans were born under it.

N°2

OUR CONVICTION: WE CAN OVERCOME THE UNEQUAL EFFECTS OF THE SUN ON DIFFERENT SKIN TYPES

Having been allergic to the sun as a child, the man who created Esthederm came up with the idea of re-educating the skin to have a relationship with the sun in order to allow tanning and optimize the skin’s resistance to UV rays.

N°3

OUR CONVICTION: ADAPT TO THE SUN INSTEAD OF OVERPROTECTING THE SKIN.

The relationship between skin and the sun is a matter of adaptation—the perfect dose of sun is needed to trigger an amazing protection mechanism: tanning.

N°4

OUR CONVICTION: THE SKIN PROTECTS ITSELF BY TANNING.

When the skin is exposed to UV rays, melanin production increases and the surface of the skin thickens to better filter solar radiation. Tanning is the sunburn’s protective mechanism.

N°5

OUR CONVICTION: TANNING DOES NOT CAUSE AGEING

When exposed to too much sun, the skin’s natural defences reach their saturation point and need to be optimized. That’s why the “GLOBAL CELLULAR PROTECTION” patent was created.

N°6

OUR CONVICTION: TANNING DOES NOT CAUSE AGEING

SPF, used by the entire profession, does not provide the user with information regarding the product’s capacity to protect the skin's youthfulness. It indicates the level of UVB protection (responsible for causing sunburn). The many different quantitative and especially qualitative parameters that Esthederm suncare products take into account in the treatment of solar radiation cannot be reduced to one single figure - UVA rays are just as, if not more important, than UVB rays. It is this fight against the shortcomings of SPF that has allowed Esthederm to distinctive products that are now highly popular: Gentle sun / Normal sun / Strong sun The levels of sun used by Institut Esthederm help you to choose the right suncare product depending on the intensity of the sun.

GLOBAL CELLULAR PROTECTION

ADVANCED CELLULAR PROTECTION TECHNOLOGY:

At the heart of every Esthederm suncare product is the patented technology Global Cellular  Protection, which protects the quality and youthfulness of the skin in the sun by neutralising  photo-ageing.

Global Cellular Protection leaves the skin cells better equipped to withstand solar radiation by reactivating defence and cell repair mechanisms that are insufficient or saturated by the sun:

  • Protection against oxidative stress, responsible for accelerated ageing: wrinkles, loss of firmness (in vitro test).
  • Anti-inflammatory protection, to shield the skin against inflammaging and pigment spots (UVA + UVB ex vivo tests, prevention of sunburn cells, TNF-α and PGE2).
  • Protection from dermal deterioration by preventing the synthesis of MMP-1, responsible for the degradation of collagen fibres (test on full light spectrum).
  • Protection against DNA damage, the cause of changes to cellular genetic material (new H2Ax, in vitro, UVA test. It is finished off with UVA/UVB filtration that suits the intensity  of the sun:
  • Optimised UVA protectionUVA/UVB protection that’s three times higher than the  recommendations of suncare products for the face Bronz Repair.
  • Ideal UVB protectionBalanced protection: prevents sunburn and optimises the tanning process with self tanner Sun Sheen.
