Sunscreen body lotion for sensitive skin
UV light is the main cause of sun-induced skin damage, but high-energy visible (HEVIS) light can also trigger free radicals that cause further stress to skin.
Eucerin Sun Lotion Extra Light Sensitive Protect SPF 30 is a sunscreen for the body that soothes sensitive skin and protects it from sun-induced skin damage. It is also suitable for atopic skin. The Advanced Spectral Technology combines broadband and photostable UVA and UVB filters1 for very high UV protection with Licochalcone A. This powerful antioxidant works to neutralize free radicals caused by UV and HEVIS light.
The extra-light sunscreen body lotion absorbs immediately and is water-resistant. It also contains Eucerin’s ‘Anti-Stain After Wash`* technology.
Eucerin Sun Lotion Extra Light Sensitive Protect SPF 30 is clinically and dermatologically proven to be suitable for sensitive skin including skin with Atopic Dermatitis.
*Helps to reduce the intensity of sunscreen stains after washing.
(1.) Meeting the high standards for UVA and UVB protection defined by Cosmetics Europe. The levels of UVA protection are higher than the EU recommendation.
Clinical and dermatological studies
Clinical and dermatological studies prove good skin tolerability on sensitive skin including skin with Atopic Dermatitis.

How it works
It’s not just UV rays that can damage skin. High-energy visible (HEVIS) light generates free radicals that cause photoaging (premature skin aging caused by the sun), and even high UV protection is not enough to prevent it. Eucerin Sun Body Sensitive Protect Extra Light Lotion SPF 30 and SPF 30 offer Advanced Spectral Technology that goes beyond UV to protect skin from the negative effects of HEVIS light too.
Advanced Spectral Technology
Superior broadband and photostable UVA/UVB filters1 are combined with Licochalcone A to neutralize free radicals caused by UVA and HEVIS light.
DNA protection
Powerful antioxidant Glycyrrhetinic Acid supports skin’s own DNA repair mechanism.

Ingredients List
How do I know which SPF to use?
Sunscreens are available in four different levels of protection: low (factor 6 to 10), medium (15 to 25), high (30 to 50) and very high (50+). The higher the protection factor the better your skin is protected, but it’s important to apply the product thoroughly (be careful not to miss any bits) and to reapply it generously every two hours.
Why does sensitive skin need special sun protection?
Sensitive skin has a weakened protective barrier. It is less able to bind in the moisture that it needs and is more vulnerable to external irritants. One of those external irritants is the sun’s rays which cause skin to dry out further and become red and irritable. Sensitive skin benefits from sun protection that has been specially formulated to soothe as well as protect.
What is the difference between UVA and UVB rays?
UVA rays penetrate the deeper layers of skin. They stimulate the production of free radicals in the skin which cause oxidative stress and can lead to indirect DNA damage (where the free radicals modify cellular DNA over time). UVA rays are most commonly associated with photoaging (premature skin aging caused by the sun). They can also trigger sun allergies such as Polymorphous Light Eruption (PLE). UVB rays can also provoke allergies, but to a lesser degree.
UVB rays provide the energy your skin needs to make Vitamin D and stimulate the production of melanin which is responsible for tanning. They don’t travel as deeply as UVA rays, penetrating only the outermost layers of skin, but they cause more immediate damage such as sunburn. UVB rays are directly absorbed by cellular DNA and this can lead to skin diseases such as actinic keratosis and skin cancer.
Both types of UV can induce hyperpigmentation and may contribute to conditions such as sun spots (also known as age spots) and melasma.
What is high-energy visible light and why does my skin need to be protected from it?
The sunlight spectrum consists of UV, visible and infrared light. Visible sunlight can be detected by the human eye, while the others remain invisible. Part of this visible spectrum has a high energy level and is known as high-energy visible light. It is also referred to as HEVIS light, HEV Light, HEVL and sometimes ‘blue light’ or ‘blue violet light’
Like UVA rays, HEVIS light penetrates the deeper layers of skin (the dermis) and can generate free radicals. These free radicals are one of the main causes of photoaging (premature skin aging caused by the sun). They interfere with skin cells and break down the collagen and elastin that gives our skin its plump, youthful appearance. HEVIS light has also been linked to uneven skin pigmentation and melasma.
Many modern sunscreens offer effective protection against UVA and UVB rays, but we recommend that you look out for products that also defend against the negative effects of HEVIS light. These products will give your skin reliable protection from photoaging and, in the long run, can also help to combat visible signs of skin aging.
