La Roche-Posay Anthelios Ultra-Fluid Facial Sunscreen SPF 50+

This is the untinted face lotion, not the mineral tint. La Roche-Posay prices Anthelios Ultra-Fluid SPF 50+ at $35.95 and says the water and sweat hold is 80 minutes.

Actives include Mexoryl XL (drometrizole trisiloxane) at 7%, bemotrizinol at 5%, octisalate at 5%, octocrylene at 5%, avobenzone at 3%, homosalate at 2%, and ensulizole at 0.5%. The page says it is fragrance-free and that colour does not migrate into the eyes. NETLOCK is the name they use for the film.

The same division that owns La Roche-Posay says 79% of production is made in France. The 50 mL face page does not name a Canadian factory.

Put it on face and neck 15 minutes before sun. Reapply at least every 2 hours, or after 80 minutes in the water. Ask a doctor before using it on a baby under 6 months.
