Mexoryl 400
Methoxypropylamino Cyclohexenylidene Ethoxyethylcyanoacetate
Filter information
A new filter exclusive to L'oreal products. It's currently the only filter that protects the full 380–400 nm UV range, where photodamage is still a concern.
Studies found that the addition of MCE absorber (ie. this filter) in sunscreen formulations leads to full coverage of UV spectrum and improved UVA1 photoprotection. In other words, better protection against collagen breakdown, dark spots, and wrinkle formation!
