100% natural-origin sun care, formulated to combine high protection, sensory appeal, and respect for living things.
Formulating a truly natural sun care product is one of the most demanding challenges in cosmetics, and one we have had to take on at La Canopée. It is not just about effectively protecting the skin from UV rays, but doing so without compromise. Not on health, not on sensory experience, not on environmental impact, and not on the finish on the skin. At La Canopée, we have chosen to take this demanding path, by rejecting chemical filters and committing to designing formulas that are 100% of natural origin, just like all our skincare products.
This choice required years of patience to find the perfect natural filter to achieve a rare balance: reliable and high sun protection, a texture that is pleasant to apply daily, and a formula that respects living things, down to the smallest detail. Every ingredient is rigorously selected, and every combination is designed to optimize effectiveness while preserving softness and comfort on the skin.
Our sun care products are therefore the result of precise and committed formulation work, where performance is never at odds with ethics. They embody a vision of more conscious sun protection, where taking care of your skin goes hand in hand with respecting ecosystems. It is this high standard that we invite you to discover, by stepping into the heart of their formulation.

Two natural sun fluids to protect every moment in the sun
Designed to accompany you through any sun exposure, our milky sun fluids offer their effectiveness in two levels of protection, adapting to the needs of every skin type and every intensity of sunlight. SPF30 offers high protection, ideal year-round for sunny days, while SPF50+ provides very high protection for more intense situations, sensitive skin, or exposure in the mountains or at the beach under strong sun.
Behind this apparent simplicity lies the same level of demand: 100% mineral protection and a treatment enriched with an antioxidant complex that boosts protection and provides an anti-aging effect. We have developed a fluid, comfortable texture that applies easily and is invisible on the skin. Both formulas share this same philosophy, combining effectiveness, sensory appeal, and respect for living things.
Available in a 40 ml face format and a 100 ml body format, our sun care products become essential rituals, both protective and deeply respectful of the skin. They are suitable for the whole family.

"I am particularly proud to have formulated these sunscreens, which represent a true achievement in green chemistry. Successfully reaching high levels of protection with a 100% natural-origin formula, without compromising on sensory appeal, palm oil derivatives, or white residue, was a great challenge. These sunscreens fully embody our vision: to prove that it is possible to do things differently, with rigor, innovation, and commitment."

At the heart of our sun care formulation
Behind the ease of use of our sunscreens lies a demanding formulation process, designed to combine efficacy, tolerance, and respect for living things.
At the heart of our formulas, we have chosen next-generation zinc oxide, a mineral filter recognized for its ability to effectively protect the skin from UVA and UVB rays. Unlike chemical filters that absorb rays, it acts as a shield by reflecting them, ensuring stable and immediate protection upon application.
We have selected a grade of next-generation zinc oxide; thanks to its size and dispersion in the formula, we avoid the white cast often associated with mineral sunscreens. This formulation work now makes it possible to obtain a fluid, comfortable, and invisible texture on the skin.
To reinforce this protection, we have integrated a complex of antioxidant botanical active ingredients combining karanja, lotus, and licorice. Rich in antioxidants and soothing molecules, they support the skin against oxidative stress induced by the sun and help improve overall protection, particularly against UVA rays.
Finally, olive and coconut vegetable oils provide nutrition and comfort, while naturally contributing to the water resistance of the formula.
More than just a sunscreen, it is a complete formula that protects, soothes, and accompanies the skin during all sun exposure.
How to incorporate sun protection into your routine?
How to use your sunscreen daily
Sunscreen is the final step in your morning skincare routine. After cleansing and applying your treatments, mists, creams, and serums, generously apply your sunscreen fluid to your entire face and any exposed areas of the body. It serves as the final layer of protection before sun exposure.
For those who wear makeup, you can apply your makeup after the milky sunscreen fluid has been applied. It integrates easily into your daily routine, both summer and winter, whenever your skin is exposed to light.
For optimal protection, it is essential to reapply every two hours, and more frequently if swimming, sweating, or rubbing.
Be sure not to forget certain often-neglected areas like the ears, the neck, the tops of the feet, or even the scalp if it is uncovered.
Good sunscreen is, above all, sunscreen that is well applied, in sufficient quantity, and on a regular basis.

Frequently asked questions about natural sun care
What is the difference between UVA and UVB?
UVA rays account for the majority of UV radiation. They penetrate deep into the skin and are responsible for skin aging.
UVB rays cause sunburn.
Both contribute to the development of skin cancers.
How to properly apply your sunscreen?
Apply generously to dry skin before sun exposure. Reapply every two hours and after each swim or bout of friction. Don't forget sensitive areas such as the ears, neck, and extremities.
Which solar filter is used in La Canopée and why?
We have chosen zinc oxide, a 100% natural-origin mineral filter, for its high tolerance and safety. Unlike chemical filters, it acts by reflecting UV rays rather than absorbing them, which ensures excellent photostability and better safety for the skin and the environment.
Is next-generation zinc oxide safe?
Yes. Zinc oxide is known for its high tolerance, even on sensitive skin. If it does penetrate the skin, it is assimilated as a trace element naturally present in the body, which makes it safe for long-term use.
Who are our sun care products for?
Our formulas are suitable for all skin types, including the most sensitive. They are particularly well-suited to reactive skin thanks to the soothing properties of zinc and plant-based active ingredients.
What is the difference between SPF30 and SPF50+?
SPF indicates the level of protection against UVB rays.
An SPF30 blocks approximately 96.7% of UVB rays, while an SPF50+ exceeds 98%.
SPF30 is ideal for moderate exposure or skin already accustomed to the sun.
SPF50+ is recommended for intense exposure, or for fair or sensitive skin.
Do mineral sunscreens leave white streaks?
This is one of the major challenges of mineral filters: their tendency to leave white streaks on the skin. Long considered the main obstacle to natural sunscreens, this issue guided all of our formulation work.
By selecting a high-quality, new-generation zinc oxide and optimizing its dispersion, we have succeeded in achieving a perfectly invisible finish.
100% natural origin sunscreens can now combine effectiveness, sensory appeal, and ease of use.
Are our sunscreens water-resistant?
Yes, our formulas are water-resistant. They provide effective protection while swimming, while also limiting their dispersion into the environment. However, it is essential to reapply regularly to maintain optimal protection.
Are our sun care products ocean-friendly?
Yes. The zinc oxide used has no known negative impact on corals and marine ecosystems. Our formulas have also been designed to limit their dispersion in the water.
Can it be used with makeup?
Yes, it applies perfectly before makeup and makes an excellent base thanks to its fluid and invisible texture.
At what age can your sunscreens be used?
They can be used from the age of 3. However, it is recommended to limit young children's direct exposure to the sun and to prioritize physical protection (clothing, hat).
What is the difference between a chemical filter and a mineral filter?
Chemical filters are synthetic ingredients that absorb UV rays to protect the skin. Some are now controversial due to their environmental impact or their stability.
Mineral filters, such as zinc oxide, act differently. They reflect UV rays off the surface of the skin. Natural and well-tolerated, they offer effective protection that is respectful of both the skin and the environment.
At La Canopée, we have chosen to use exclusively a mineral filter, which is next-generation zinc oxide.
