Cosmetique Active International sunscreen

This sunscreen formulation, developed by Cosmetique Active International (a division of L'Oréal), is a topical agent designed to prevent hyperpigmentation induced by visible light (VL) and ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Unlike standard sunscreens that primarily target UVA and UVB, this product is specifically formulated to provide protection against high-energy visible light, which is known to cause more persistent and intense pigmentation in individuals with darker skin phenotypes. The formulation likely incorporates a blend of organic and inorganic filters, such as iron oxides, which act as a physical and chemical barrier to absorb, reflect, and scatter light across the broad spectrum. It is primarily indicated for the prevention of visible light-induced skin darkening and the management of pigmentary disorders like melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
