FRESH sunscreen

Info: FRESH sunscreen SPF 25 combines reliable mineral UV protection with nourishing plant oils and powerful antioxidants such as astaxanthin. The water-resistant formula effectively protects the skin from UVA and UVB rays, helps prevent premature skin ageing and leaves the complexion looking cared for and radiant – ideal for all skin types.

Product experience: With my very fair skin, FRESH sunscreen SPF 25 is my absolute summer must-have. I love how beautifully light it feels and how easily it spreads – without leaving a white cast or weighing down the skin. Thanks to natural zinc oxide, I feel fully protected, without chemical filters. After application, my skin feels cared for and well nourished, and the delicate scent is an added plus for me. Even after swimming, the protection still feels noticeable. The only important thing is: after towel-drying, I always reapply it to refresh the level of protection. I also find it especially practical that FRESH sunscreen is available in a pocket format. It fits easily into a handbag, small crossbody bag, my small bike bag on my gravel bike or my hiking rucksack, and is always close at hand whenever my skin needs extra protection on the go. That way, I feel safe and well protected throughout the day – whether I am hiking, cycling or spending time by the lake.

Tip: The sun protection factor, or SPF, indicates how much longer you can stay in the sun with sunscreen before risking sunburn. If your skin’s natural protection time is 10 minutes, SPF 25 theoretically extends it to 250 minutes. Once this maximum protection time has been reached, you should spend the rest of the day in the shade to avoid overexposing your skin.

Good to know: How does the sun protection factor work?
Mineral sunscreen, such as FRESH sunscreen SPF 25, protects the skin by reflecting and scattering UV rays. Chemical sunscreens, on the other hand, absorb UV rays and convert them into heat. For very sensitive skin – like mine – a mineral filter therefore feels gentler and better tolerated.

The sun protection factor also indicates how strongly a sunscreen protects against UVB rays:

• SPF 25 blocks around 96% of UVB rays
• SPF 30 blocks around 96.7% of UVB rays
• SPF 50 blocks around 98% of UVB rays

However, no sunscreen offers 100% protection. That is why applying enough product, reapplying regularly, taking breaks in the shade and wearing protective clothing remain especially important – particularly for very fair or sensitive skin.

For an extra dose of care after sun exposure, FRESH after sun & tan booster is a lovely choice. Its moisturising formula feels pleasantly cooling and soothing. It also contains an integrated self-tanner: erythrulose combined with purple red algae extract creates a soft, natural-looking tan – without the sun. This means the skin is not only cared for and comforted after time in the sun, but gradually gains a gentle, fresh summer glow too.
