Milky Sunscreen Fluid SPF30

La Canopée's Milky Sunscreen Fluid SPF30 is a mineral sunscreen for face and body that combines high UVA/UVB protection with a nourishing, milky texture.

The formula spreads easily and was developed for daily use, moderate sun exposure, and skin accustomed to the sun – ideal for spring, everyday summer, city life, short outdoor stays, or days when the skin is not continuously exposed to intense sun.

• Zinc oxide protects the skin from UVA and UVB rays. This mineral filter is photostable, well tolerated, and remains a very gentle choice even for sensitive or reactive skin. La Canopée uses a new generation of zinc oxide to ensure even protection without leaving a white film.
• Karanja extract acts as an antioxidant, supports protection against free radicals, and complements the mineral UV filter. For sun-exposed skin, karanja is especially soothing because it reduces oxidative stress and further supports the skin under UV exposure. 
• Licorice root is known for its soothing and antioxidant properties. The extract helps reduce redness and sun-induced skin reactions and promotes a comfortable skin feeling – especially for sensitive, easily irritated, or redness-prone skin.
• In sun care, lotus complements the protective effect with a nourishing antioxidant component and helps keep the skin more resilient. Lotus provides polyphenols and flavonoids that protect the skin from oxidative stress.
• Olive oil nourishes the skin with lipids and helps keep it supple. It supports skin comfort and helps prevent the skin from feeling dry or tight after applying a mineral sunscreen.

The sunscreen spreads easily and evenly, suitable for all skin types, including sensitive, reactive, and redness-prone skin, as well as for pregnant women and children from 3 years old. The water- and sweat-resistant formulation contains a nourishing oil phase. Depending on skin type, the finish may initially appear slightly radiant but settles into the skin after a few minutes.

FAQ

Is the Milky Sunscreen Fluid SPF30 a mineral sunscreen?
Yes. The formula protects with zinc oxide, a mineral UV filter of natural origin. La Canopée uses a new generation of zinc oxide that reflects and scatters UVA and UVB rays on the skin surface. The filter is photostable and especially well tolerated, even on sensitive or reactive skin.

Does the fluid protect against UVA and UVB rays?
Yes. The Milky Sunscreen Fluid SPF30 offers broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays. The measured SPF value is 35.7, and the measured UVA protection value is 17.6. UVA rays contribute to photoaging, while UVB rays are mainly responsible for sunburn.

Who is SPF30 especially suitable for?
SPF30 is suitable for everyday use, moderate sun exposure, city life, spring and summer, and skin already somewhat accustomed to the sun. For very fair, especially sensitive skin or intense sun, SPF50+ is the better choice.

What is the difference between SPF30 and SPF50+?
SPF30 offers high protection and is especially suitable for moderate sun exposure or skin already accustomed to the sun. SPF50+ offers very high protection and is the better choice for intense sun, fair or sensitive skin, and longer outdoor stays. La Canopée's SPF50+ version achieves a measured SPF value of 66.

Does the mineral sunscreen leave a white cast?
No, the texture was developed to avoid leaving a white film. La Canopée relies on new generation zinc oxide and optimized filter dispersion. This keeps the finish invisible despite the mineral UV protection.

How does the texture feel on the skin?
The fluid has a milky, smooth texture and spreads easily on face and body. The water- and sweat-resistant formulation contains a nourishing oil phase. Depending on skin type, the finish may initially appear slightly radiant but settles into the skin after a few minutes.

Is the fluid suitable for combination or oily skin?
Yes, combination and oily skin can also use the fluid. If the finish appears too shiny, it can be lightly powdered after application.

Is the sunscreen suitable under makeup?
Yes. The liquid, invisible texture can be applied before makeup and serves as a smoothing, nourishing base. For oily or shine-prone skin, the finish can be mattified with a little powder if needed. 

For which skin types is the Milky Sunscreen Fluid SPF30 suitable?
The formula is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive, reactive, and redness-prone skin. Zinc oxide protects while licorice, karanja, and lotus provide antioxidant and soothing support.

Is the sunscreen water-resistant?
Yes. The formula is water- and sweat-resistant. To maintain protection, the fluid should still be reapplied regularly, especially after swimming, sweating, or towel drying.

How is the Milky Sunscreen Fluid SPF30 applied?
Apply generously before sun exposure on face, neck, décolleté, and body. Reapply regularly during prolonged sun exposure, at least every two hours and after swimming, sweating, or towel drying. Using too little reduces protection.

Can the sunscreen be used for children and during pregnancy?
Yes. La Canopée's sunscreen fluids are suitable for pregnant women and children from 3 years old. For young children, direct sun exposure should still be avoided as much as possible; clothing, sun hats, and shade remain the most important protective measures.
