In this La Roche Posay Anthelios Melt-In Milk SPF 100 sunscreen lotion review, I find another fantastic sunscreen from the French company. Thanks again go to Joanna for this sunscreen!
I’ve actually become a fan of the La Roche Posay Anthelios line of sunscreen products. The UV filtering ability demonstrated throughout their chemical based product line (of those I have tested) gives me the warm fuzzy feeling I like to have when thinking about quality UV sunscreen protection. Along with the strong UV protection are also the foo foo spa reminiscent ingredients like the spring water, vitamins, and antioxidants they include in their formulations. I still use the Trader Joe’s Invisible Gel SPF 40 on the daily (because cheap, and good), but the products from La Roche Posay would be my next choice (because foo foo, and good).
The La Roche Posay Anthelios Melt-In Milk SPF 100 sunscreen lotion is a chemical sunscreen formula which contains Avobenzone at 3%, Homosalate at 15%, Octisalate at 5%, and Octocrylene at 10%.
The La Roche Posay Anthelios Melt-In Milk reduced 99.81% of irradiated UVA, 99.02% UVB, and 99.76% of total UVI.
