La Roche-Posay Anthelios Hydrating Body Lotion SPF 50+

The body bottle is 200 mL, about 6.76 fl oz, priced at $39.95. La Roche-Posay Anthelios Hydrating Body Lotion is SPF 50+ with a 40 minute water hold and a claim of 24 hour hydration.

Actives include homosalate 10%, bemotrizinol 6%, octisalate 5%, avobenzone 5%, Mexoryl XL 4%, titanium dioxide 2.5%, and Mexoryl SX 0.5%. The eco-tube uses 60% less plastic than the brand's 150 mL plastic tube. The formula was tested on 7 marine species and has no microplastics, the page says.

L'Oreal says 79% of this division's production is made in France. The body page still does not name a Canadian plant.

Apply generously 15 minutes before sun. Put more on at least every 2 hours, and after swimming or a heavy sweat.
