Licochalcone A
Licochalcone A is a potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant ingredient derived from the roots of the Chinese licorice plant (Glycyrrhiza inflata). Licochalcone A protects skin cells from oxidative stress and environmental aggressors like UV and blue light (HEVIS). Key benefits are:
- Antioxidant Defense: Activates antioxidant and detoxifying enzymes, shielding skin cells from oxidative damage, including lipid peroxidation, DNA- and protein damage.
- Anti-Inflammatory Action: Effectively reduces redness and soothes irritated skin, making it ideal for sensitive and irritated and stressed skin conditions.

FAQ
What SPF sunscreen do I need?
A Sun Protection Factor (SPF) extends the time it takes for the skin to burn by a certain factor. For example, a person who gets sunburnt after 30 minutes of sun exposure without sunscreen would not get sunburnt for 300 minutes using a sunscreen in high enough amounts with a sun protection factor of 30. However, it is best to only stay in the sun for up to 60% of this time, and remember that skin damage can occur even before sunburn is visible. Additionally we know that no sun protection product has a 100% protection.
Is Eucerin Sun Lotion Extra Light Sensitive Protect SPF50+ suitable for young children?
Eucerin Sun Lotion Extra Light Sensitive Protect SPF50+ was specifically developed for adults. Alternatively, for children over 1 year old try Eucerin Kids Sun Lotion Sensitive Protect SPF 50+
What is the difference between mineral and chemical UVA/UVB filters, and which one should I use?
Chemical filters are absorbed by the skin and transform UV rays into harmless warmth, whereas mineral filters remain on the surface of the skin and reflect and scatter UV rays that reach the surface of the skin. While chemical filters are generally considered to be safe, the use of mineral filters is advisable in case of intolerance towards chemical filters or for sun protection for babies and toddlers, whose skin is highly sensitive.
What is the difference between UVA and UVB rays?
Long wave UVA (Ultraviolet A) rays emitted by the sun penetrate deeply into the skin and are the originating factor of oxidative stress in the skin. They play a greater role in long-term sun damage and are a major cause of skin ageing and skin cancer. In addition, UVA rays may trigger polymorphic light eruption (PLE), the so-called sun allergy. Short wave UVB (Ultraviolet B) rays, on the contrary, cause immediate visible damage to the skin, leading to what we usually refer to as sunburn. It penetrates the skin less deeply than UVA but is the main responsibility for cellular DNA damage.
