Summer, sun, beach… and PFAS ?

🌞 With summer holidays just around the corner, sunscreen is our best ally.

But beware: some formulas contain PFAS—those invisible but very real “forever chemicals.”
These chemical compounds, used to make products water-resistant or more durable, persist in the environment and are suspected of harmful effects on health (endocrine disruption, cancer risks, etc.).

How can you avoid them this summer?

• Read the INCI list: avoid ingredients with “fluoro,” “perfluoro,” PTFE, etc.
• Choose sunscreens with mineral filters (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide), preferably without nanoparticles.
• Avoid sprays or mists, which are more likely to contain PFAS.
• Scan products with apps like: Beauty INCI, Yuka, QuelProduit, Clearya.

😎 Choosing a cleaner sunscreen also means taking care of the ocean—and your health!

The whole SPUMA team wishes you a safe, protected, and inspiring summer!
