Valencia Gio Nature Plus Sun Block Collagen Sun Cream SPF 50+ 70ml

Valencia Gio Nature Plus Sun Block Collagen Sun Cream is formulated as an all-in-one daily sun protection product that addresses UV defense, skin conditioning, and post-sun care within a single cream. Its hybrid filter architecture combines the high SPF performance of chemical UV filters with the broad UVA coverage and skin-soothing benefits of physical mineral filters, resulting in a formula that protects comprehensively across the full UV spectrum without the heavy texture or white residue associated with purely mineral-based sunscreens.

• The 6-filter hybrid UV protection system covers both the UVB and UVA spectrum through complementary mechanisms. Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate (Octinoxate), positioned second in the formula, is the primary and highest-concentration UV filter — one of the most widely used chemical UVB filters in the world, it absorbs UVB radiation in the 290–320nm range and converts it to heat energy before it can damage skin cells. Ethylhexyl Salicylate (Octisalate) extends UVB protection and also acts as a photostabilizer that helps prevent the degradation of other UV filters during sun exposure. Isoamyl p-Methoxycinnamate (Amiloxate), an EU- and Asia-approved cinnamate-class UVB filter, broadens the formula’s UVB coverage further and adds photostability to the cinnamate combination. Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate (Uvinul A Plus) is one of the most effective next-generation UVA filters available — it absorbs across the full UVA spectrum (320–400nm) and is inherently photostable, maintaining its protective capacity throughout hours of sun exposure without degrading or generating photoproducts. Ethylhexyl Triazone (Uvinul T 150) is a highly photostable triazine-class UVB filter that substantially reinforces SPF performance and is particularly valued in professional sunscreen formulation for its efficiency at relatively low concentrations. Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide serve as the physical (mineral) component of the hybrid system — both are broad-spectrum filters that physically reflect and scatter UV radiation across UVA and UVB wavelengths. Zinc Oxide in particular provides superior UVA1 (340–400nm) coverage that chemical filters often leave partially unaddressed, making it a crucial complement to the chemical filter blend. Together, this 6-filter system achieves the SPF 50+ PA+++ rating that indicates very high protection against both UVB (sunburn, skin cancer risk) and UVA (photoaging, pigmentation) radiation.
• Hydrolyzed Collagen at 200mg is the formula’s signature skin-conditioning active. Hydrolyzed Collagen is produced by breaking down the large native collagen protein into shorter peptide chains through enzymatic or chemical hydrolysis — the resulting peptides have an average molecular weight of approximately 12,000 Da, making them too large to penetrate the dermal collagen matrix, but highly effective as surface-acting moisturizers and film-forming agents. Applied topically, these collagen peptides act as humectants by binding water molecules at the skin surface, and as emollients by forming a smooth, plumping film that temporarily fills fine lines and gives the skin a soft, supple feel. The collagen peptides also support the skin barrier by helping to retain moisture during and after UV exposure — important because UV radiation disrupts the stratum corneum’s water-retaining capacity over time. The inclusion of collagen peptides in a sunscreen is a practical combination: UV-exposed skin benefits simultaneously from sun protection and from the hydrating and elasticity-supporting effects of the peptide complex.

How to Use:

• Apply generously to the face and neck 15 minutes before sun exposure.
• Smooth evenly over all exposed areas for uniform UV protection.
• Reapply after 80 minutes of swimming or heavy sweating, or as needed throughout the day.
• Can be used as the final step of your skincare routine before makeup application.
• Suitable for daily use on both face and body.
