La Roche­ Posay Anthelios sunblock

Q. I’m wondering about the sunscreen products from La Roche Posay. The Anthelios sunblock products like ANTHELIOS L SPF 60 are suitable for vegans and are fragrance free.

A. All the ingredients we use in a product are listed on the package or the label of the product itself.  Since some ingredients are known by more than one name, we use the standard industry names for ingredients as found in the International Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary.  This dictionary lists FDA-recognized names.

These products do not contain animal derived ingredients. In our manufacturing process we take precautions to prevent cross contamination.  Our equipment is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized to conform to our cleansing validation standards.  The possibility of contamination from prior product manufacture is almost impossible.

We hope this information is helpful.

Sincerely,
Consumer Affairs Coordinator
