Actinica 80 g Lotion

Product Information

At-risk patients with a weakened immune system should wear protective clothing and avoid direct contact with the sun.

It is not absorbed into the skin and unlike some other chemical sunscreens, it does not show estrogenic activity. Dr Claas Ulrich, Consultant Physician and Dermo-oncologist at the Skin Cancer Centre of the Charité University Hospital in Berlin, Germany said: “Although non-melanoma skin cancer is a growing issue across the UK, many of the most vulnerable populations are unaware that they are at increased risk of developing this cancer. Developed to prevent certain types of non-melanoma skin cancer, this lotion is perfect for those who want to enjoy the sun without any risks. Actinica® is a highly effective sunscreen lotion with a wide range of UV protection, designed for people who are exposed to constant ultraviolet radiation, for people with weakened immunity, and for people who have undergone organ transplantation, or for those who are regularly exposed to radiation, including chemotherapy.

I just rub it inbetween my hands and press over chin, forehead, cheeks and nose then rub and pat in - I personally can't rub it in for long because it sticks so pressing and patting works better for me. It is highly effective in protecting skin from ultraviolet B (UVB) as well as from ultraviolet A (UVA) radiation.

Avoid direct exposure to the sun and even more in the central hours of the day, when its intensity is even greater.Bis-EthylhexyloxyphenolMethoxyphenyl, Triazine, EthylhexylTriazone, Isoamylp- Methoxycinnamate, EthylhexylMethoxycinnamate, Methylene bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Propylparaben, Methylparaben, Additives. It is not very stable either, when exposed to sunlight, it kind of breaks down and loses its effectiveness (not instantly, but over time - it loses 10% of its SPF protection ability within 35 mins). In addition to using this protective sunscreen, people at increased risk of developing skin cancer are advised to take other precautions, including avoiding excessive sun exposure, especially from 10 to 16 hours.
