La Roche-Posay Anthelios Melt-In Milk Sunscreen SPF 100 — Broad-Spectrum, Oil-Free for Sensitive Skin

Designed for skin that burns easily, this Anthelios Melt-In Milk combines high sun protection with a fast-absorbing, velvety finish. It uses La Roche-Posay’s Cell-Ox Shield technology—broad UVA/UVB filters plus antioxidants—and is water resistant for up to 80 minutes. The lotion is oil-free, fragrance-free, and formulated to support tolerance on sensitive skin while remaining suitable for everyday wear under makeup.

How does this sunscreen protect skin that burns quickly?

Anthelios Melt-In Milk offers SPF 100 broad-spectrum protection to reduce the amount of UVB and UVA radiation reaching the skin. The formula pairs chemical filters with antioxidant defense in the Cell-Ox Shield system to help shield skin from sun exposure during everyday activities.

• SPF 100 broad-spectrum filters for UVA and UVB protection
• Cell-Ox Shield technology: UV filters combined with antioxidants
• Oxybenzone- and octinoxate-free formula
• Water resistant for up to 80 minutes—reapply after swimming or sweating

Will the lotion leave a white cast or feel greasy under makeup?

The melt-in milk texture absorbs quickly into skin and is formulated to avoid a chalky residue, making it compatible with daily beauty routines. It’s oil-free and non-comedogenic, so it won’t clog pores, and it layers comfortably beneath moisturizers and foundation.

• Lightweight, fast-absorbing lotion—no visible white cast
• Velvety finish that hydrates without greasiness
• Suitable for layering under makeup
• Non-comedogenic and formulated for optimal skin tolerance

How should I apply and reapply Anthelios Melt-In Milk SPF 100?

Apply generously to all exposed areas at least 15 minutes before sun exposure. For sustained protection, reapply after 80 minutes of swimming or sweating, immediately after towel drying, and at least every two hours during prolonged sun exposure.

• Apply 15 minutes before going outdoors
• Reapply after 80 minutes of water exposure or heavy sweating
• Reapply after towel drying and at least every 2 hours
• Not intended for infants under 6 months—consult a doctor

Is this safe for sensitive skin and children?

The formula is developed and tested for sensitivity, with dermatological oversight and allergy testing to help ensure high skin tolerance. It’s suitable for adults and children aged 3 and up and omits common irritants like fragrance, parabens, and oxybenzone.

• Dermatologist tested and allergy tested for tolerance
• Fragrance-free, paraben-free, oil-free, and oxybenzone-free
• Suitable for face and body, including ears, nose, and hairline
