The Soleil strategy
The Soleil effect strategy is not only based on very high UV protection with factor 50+ but also covers targeted care for the skin before, during and after time in the sun. Self-tanning and tan-activating mechanisms provide a healthy and even tan, and the Soleil complex with sunflower seeds, rice extract and rosemary extract has a protective and repairing effect, while hydrating and calming care substances restore the healthy balance of the skin after sunbathing sessions.

Sun and Hair
Hair is also exposed to UV radiation. Although it does not face the same health risks as the skin, intense sunlight puts considerable strain on the hair structure and detracts from its natural beauty.
The hair appears dull, brittle and difficult to comb. Elasticity and strength diminish, the cuticle becomes roughened — and even natural or coloured hair can visibly fade.
Soleil specifically protects the hair from the stresses caused by UV radiation, salt water and chlorinated water, whilst simultaneously repairing existing damage. The formulas soothe the hair, restore its moisture balance, smooth the hair surface and seal it.

In the sun – tips and useful information
Sunlight is an elixir of life and has a beneficial effect on both body and mind. However, its warming rays also have a downside. They can be particularly harsh on the skin, accelerate the ageing process and, in the worst case, cause skin cancer. Seawater, sand and snow reflect UV rays and intensify their effect. To avoid putting excessive strain on the skin, consistent UV protection before and during any time spent in the sun is just as essential as optimal after-sun care afterwards, alongside sensible sun exposure.
- Sunscreen must be reapplied after being in the water, even if it is a water-resistant product.
- Reapplying the product does not extend its protection time. Therefore, seek shade regularly.
- Even sunscreens with an extremely high sun protection factor do not offer complete protection against UV rays.
- Although sun protection products are effective immediately after application, to optimally extend the skin’s natural protection time, you should apply the cream well in advance of going outdoors.
- Sunscreen must be reapplied after sweating, after the skin has been rubbed by sand or clothing, and after being in the water.
- The sun protection factor (SPF) indicates the level of protection against UVB radiation. The UVA rating on the product means that the UVA protection is at least one-third of the SPF.
- To achieve the stated protection factor, the product must be applied generously.
- To maintain the stated level of protection, the sunscreen should be reapplied approximately every two hours. But please note: this does not extend the duration of protection!
SPF 30 blocks approximately 96.7% of UVB radiation. SPF 50 blocks approximately 98% of UVB radiation. The difference of 1.3% may seem small, but conversely, this means that with SPF 30, 3.3% of UVB rays hit the skin unblocked, whereas with SPF 50, only 2% do. This represents a difference of almost 40%.
Furthermore, people often apply too little sun cream. To achieve the stated protection factor, 2 mg per square centimetre of skin must be applied. For an average adult, this corresponds to around eight teaspoons, or approximately 35 ml; however, the average person applies at most a quarter to half of the required amount, thereby reducing the stated SPF 50 to approximately SPF 10–20.
Our tubes will be fitted with smaller caps to reduce plastic usage, and we will use PCR (post-consumer recycled) materials to make our packaging even more environmentally friendly.
