Overall, a highly recommended product that meets the needs of those looking for a gentle, effective, and affordable skin care solution.’
‘Great well-known Irish skincare brand. Excellent loyalty with sensitive skincare customers in pharmacy. Brilliant to have this combination with SPF 45.’
Experts agree that about 90% of skin ageing is caused by UV damage from the sun. UVA and UVB radiation forms free radicals in the atmosphere which cause DNA damage, inflammation, immune-suppression, oxidative stress, and other serious skin health conditions.
Damage is also caused by the free radicals produced by our own bodies, of course, but it is when our system experiences an overload of free radicals due to environmental factors that the body’s ability to counteract or detoxify their harmful effects is unbalanced.
So what exactly are ‘free radicals’? They are tiny, unstable nano-particles which are inhaled through the nose or enter your body via skin pores. They search for human cells with healthy electrons to hook on too. When they do, they disrupt the biological pathways which accommodate healthy skin regeneration. Antioxidants in Elave Skincare formulations limit free radical production to minimise damage, reduce liver spots, calm inflammation and help combat visible signs of ageing.
To combat premature skin ageing, it is essential to use a sunscreen every day of the year, even in Ireland, and certainly from the months of March to September. Elave Sensitive Sun SPF50+ and Elave Sensitive Sun SPF30 are allergen-free and contain both physical and chemical sunscreens to offer broad spectrum, water resistant, infrared thermal protection. The oil-free formula is enriched with botanical extracts and antioxidant vitamins B5, C & E to protect and repair.
As most of the sun damage done to our skin occurs in childhood, young ones need effective protection at all times.Elave Paediatric 50+ is a broad spectrum sunscreen which blocks out 98% of harmful UVA & UVB rays in a clean, non-irritating formula suitable for delicate young skin. This water-resistant, allergen-free formula with advanced infrared thermal protection is paediatrician approved from newborn to shield delicate skin from harmful ultraviolet rays.

This multi-action formula contains zinc, coconut oil, shea butter, naturally derived collagen and vitamin E to recondition, soften, smooth and protect lips while menthol gives a cooling sensation.
Finally, after sun exposure, soothe and recondition dehydrated skin with Elave Sensitive Botanical After Sun with aloe vera and cooling menthol.
