NEW YORK (Map) - NEW YORK, April 18 /PRNewswire/
-- La Roche-Posay, the brand recommended by 25,000 dermatologists
worldwide, announces the FDA approval of ANTHELIOS 40 with the highest
photostable UVA and UVB protection available in a sunscreen with
Mexoryl(TM) SX. ANTHELIOS 40 Sunscreen is a revolutionary outdoor
use sunscreen for the face and body, specifically tested for safety
on those with the photosensitive skin disorder, Polymorphous Light
Eruption (PMLE).
Photosensitivity is a pervasive issue for people suffering from
a variety of photosensitive conditions including, but not limited
to, PMLE, Photoallergic Eruption (sun allergies), Phototoxicity,
Solar Uticaria (sun rashes) and autoimmune disease. In fact, it
is estimated that up to 17% of the US population alone experience
symptoms related to PMLE as a result of UV (primarily UVA) exposure(1).
These figures are likely understated as many potential patients
do not seek treatment for proper diagnosis. In approximately 50%
of those affected, the action spectrum is actually UVA rays(2).
UVA rays penetrate deeper than UVB rays and can result in significant
skin damage ranging from premature skin aging to skin cancer. It
is therefore essential to protect oneself against these harmful
rays, especially for those that are more susceptible to the risks
associated with UV exposure as a result of photosensitive disorders
or autoimmune disease. Proper broad spectrum photo-protection that
is effective and safe is an indispensable tool to help manage these
very real dangers. According to Dr. Vincent Deleo (board certified
New York - Los Angeles based dermatologist), "UV exposure and
its related risks are a big concern in my own practice where I see
many patients who are photosensitive either because of the drugs
they take, skin type or even an autoimmune disease. They absolutely
need effective UVA and UVB protection to minimize the associated
risks of such exposure."
La Roche-Posay ANTHELIOS 40 Sunscreen is the FDA approved sunscreen
for outdoor-use that has the highest UVA and UVB protection available
in a sunscreen with Mexoryl(TM) SX to meet these needs. Having been
tested for safety on special populations including those with photosensitive
skin, such as PMLE,(3) this formula provides a unique and synergistic
combination of sun filters.
About ANTHELIOS 40
Innovation: A unique synergistic combination of sun filters. ANTHELIOS
40 contains the highest concentration of Mexoryl(TM) SX, the organic,
stable sun filter designed to protect skin from the short UVA waves
and provide enhanced overall UVA protection. Mexoryl(TM) SX is particularly
effective against short UVA waves and is a key ingredient in ensuring
this essential complete broad-spectrum protection. Unlike many other
sunscreen filters that offer UVA protection, Mexoryl(TM) SX is highly
photo-stable and has been shown to maintain activity for up to five
hours in laboratory testing. This breakthrough innovation is the
culmination of many years of research and testing. The result is
demonstrated efficacy and safety that is supported by 87 non-clinical
toxicology studies, 29 clinical studies (including 21 clinical pharmacology
studies) tested on over 2,500 patients. Mexoryl(TM) SX was first
patented in 1982 in Europe by L'Oreal and has a long history of
safety and efficacy studies worldwide. La Roche-Posay was the first
to launch Mexoryl(TM) SX in a sunscreen formula in Europe over 15
years ago and then most recently in the US in 2006.
For the first time in the US, this FDA-approved, breakthrough formulation
also combines 5% Titanium Dioxide (an inorganic sun filter) with
2% Avobenzone (an organic sun filter) to provide an enhanced formulation
with complete broad spectrum protection. Additional sun filter ingredients
include a patented stabilized combination of Avobenzone (Parsol
1789) and Octocrylene to provide coverage against UVB waves and
long UVA waves. With this synergistic combination of ingredients,
ANTHELIOS 40 has the highest UVA and UVB protection available in
a sunscreen with Mexoryl(TM) SX for exceptional outdoor sun protection
for those who are serious about sun protection. It should be used
as a key prevention tool against the risks associate with exposure
to the harmful UVA and UVB rays.
Benefits of ANTHELIOS 40: With the highest UVA and UVB protection
available in a sunscreen with Mexoryl(TM) SX, ANTHELIOS 40 follows
the same strict formulation charter representative of the La Roche-Posay
line of products that caters to all skin conditions, including very
sensitive. The product is non-comedogenic, fragrance free, PABA-free,
and dermatologist-tested. ANTHELIOS 40 is the newest addition to
the existing La Roche-Posay ANTHELIOS franchise, which includes
ANTHELIOS SX Daily Moisturizing Cream with SPF 15, and ANTHELIOS
15 Water Resistant Sunscreen Cream.
