Wonderfully Happy Holidays to Everyone!!!!
My hubby and I are heading to Hawaii (Kauai) for the first time at the end of January. I noticed on a previous post about the French Cosmetics for Less company where you can purchase the French version of Anthelios in the higher SPF's. I was surfing there and came across another sunscreen called Galenic. I'm listing the ingredients below... I hope you can all chime in with your opinions on this sunscreen based on the product description. I will put the description of the Anthelios product below the Galenic. I just can't decide with product to try.
Galenic Ultra High Protection Facial Cream SPF 50+
Ultra High Protection Facial Cream SPF 50+, rich in Uncaria from Amazonia, has a powerful anti-ageing action and protects the skin during exposure to the sun.
