L'Occitane's new organic suncare line

L’Occitane en Provence is always in search of natural and authentic ingredients. For summer 2009, L’Occitane will feature two 100% mineral sunscreen products in the L’Occitane do Brasil range.

All L’OCCITANE do Brasil protective sun care products are formulated with a new generation of micro-dispersed mineral sunscreens that provide efficient and complete UVA/UVB protection. Organic Buriti plant oil, with 3 times the concentration of beta-carotene than carrot, optimizes the effectiveness of the mineral sunscreens.

Featured for Summer 2009 are a Collectors Edition Sunscreen Veil and a re-formulated Sunscreen Lotion.
 

SUNSCREEN VEIL FOR FACE AND EYE CONTOUR (25ml)

High natural UVA/UVB protection in a small package that you can take anywhere.

This lightweight veil with a matte finish is ideal for daily outdoor use. Formulated specifically for the face and eye contour, it is dermatologist and ophthalmologist tested, and is non-comedogenic.

The Collectors Edition is enhanced by a distinctive design by Andres Sandoval (a young Brazilian contemporary artist) for L’Occitane and inspired by the Buriti palm tree.

THE BURITI, EFFECTIVE SUN CARE INGREDIENT

From its dark-red fruit, a sunny-coloured oil is extracted with extremely high concentrations of the antioxidant beta-carotene (3 times more than carrots!).
In addition to promoting a healthy glow, it protects skin from the aging and dehydrating effects that sun exposure causes. Buriti has the power to absorb UV rays and is a powerful anti-oxidant that deeply moisturizes and nourishes the skin.
