Bioderma Photoderm Stick SPF50+ 8g strongly protects the most sensitive areas of the body and face against UVA and UVB rays while hydrating and protecting the skin, always maintaining its maximum comfort.
Bioderma Photoderm Stick SPF50+ 8g consists of a sunscreen in stick format perfect to protect the most sensitive parts of the body against UVA and UVB rays. In particular, this photoprotection is specially designed for areas such as the nose, ears, scars on the body or even blemishes. Moreover, its texture absorbs quickly into the skin ensuring hydration for up to 8 hours. In addition, the skin does not get white marks as this sunscreen has an invisible texture. In this sense, it is also non-sticky, non-greasy, and non-comedogenic. Due to its high resistance to water and perspiration, it becomes a daily ally against sun damage.
Thanks to the presence of sunscreen filters such as Tinosorb S, Uvinul T 150, and Uvinul A Plus, this product offers high sun protection against both UVA and UVB rays. However, the Sun Active Defense technology, instead of overloading the skin with filters, reinforces its self-defense capabilities to compensate for the biological impacts of UVA rays. Furthermore, for a gentler and more soothing care, Beeswax deeply hydrates and nourishes the skin. On the other hand, Carnauba wax and Castor Oil provide absolute comfort to the skin while moisturizing and protecting it. All in all, this sunscreen is perfect not only to protect sensitive areas against UV rays but also to take care of the skin in an exemplary way.
Apply Bioderma Photoderm Stick SPF50+ 8g to the face or body evenly and in generous doses in the morning or 30 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply frequently in order to maintain high levels of protection. Avoid sun exposure at noon or for many hours.

Sunscreen gets its protective power from ingredients called sun filters, which fall into two groups. "Mineral" is the common name for inorganic filters, of which there are only two: zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. "Chemical" is the common name for organic filters, which are carbon-based compounds and cover multiple different ingredients. A mineral sunscreen uses only inorganic filters, a chemical sunscreen uses only organic filters, and a sunscreen that combines both is known as a hybrid.
Both types of filters mainly protect the skin by absorbing UV radiation. Mineral filters, along with a few organic ones, also reflect a small portion of it.
SPF measures protection against UVB radiation. In the EU, the highest SPF on a cosmetic sunscreen label is SPF50+, which corresponds to the "very high protection" category and is used when the measured SPF is 60 or higher.
Some sunscreens, usually designed for specific skin conditions, are classified as medical devices rather than cosmetics, and these can show higher values, such as SPF100.
