Sun protection is far more than a protective film on the skin. It is a daily decision for health, beauty – and today, more than ever, for our environment. REVIDERM has embraced this responsibility and developed a sun care line that not only protects your skin, but also the oceans and their ecosystems.
Why Conventional Sun Protection Is No Longer Enough
The sun is both a source of life and a risk factor. Ultraviolet radiation (UVA and UVB) is the primary cause of premature skin ageing, pigmentation spots and – in extreme cases – skin cancer. What many people do not know: infrared radiation (IRA) also penetrates deep into the skin, damages the collagen network and accelerates skin ageing at a cellular level. Conventional sunscreens protect against UV radiation, but often completely ignore the thermal component.
There is another problem: many chemical UV filters that have been used in sunscreens for decades are far from harmless – neither for the skin nor for the environment. It is time for a new standard.
Did you know? According to current studies, conventional sunscreens containing certain chemical filters contribute massively to the bleaching and death of coral reefs – a global ecosystem that is home to 25% of all marine species.
The REVIDERM Philosophy: High-Tech Meets Skin Awareness
REVIDERM has long stood for the principle of “cosmetics guided by medicine”. This commitment is consistently upheld in the sun care line. The innovative formulas do not simply offer classical light protection – they combine multiple protective mechanisms into one holistic system.
UVA/UVB Broad-Spectrum Protection: All REVIDERM sun care products use photostable UVA and UVB broad-spectrum filters. This means protection across the entire radiation spectrum, without the efficacy diminishing from exposure to sunlight itself – which is far from standard, as many conventional filters degrade throughout the day.
Infrared Protection (IRA) – The Underestimated Threat: Heat on the skin often feels pleasant. But invisible infrared radiation penetrates into the deepest skin layers, activating free radicals. REVIDERM integrates special IRA-protective ingredients that actively slow this thermal skin ageing process.
Collagen Protector & Anti-Ageing Effect: The skin’s collagen network is its structural foundation – and one of the first casualties of intense sun exposure. REVIDERM actively protects this fibre network, counteracting premature wrinkle formation and loss of elasticity. Sun care thus becomes genuine anti-ageing care.
“Sun protection is not a luxury – it is the most effective anti-ageing measure you can take every single day.”
Coral-Friendly Sun Care: Good for the Skin, Good for the Sea
A summer by the sea is the most cherished holiday for many. But what happens in the water when we swim wearing conventional sunscreen is alarming: estimates suggest that thousands of tonnes of sunscreen products enter the oceans every year – with devastating consequences for the world’s fragile coral reefs.
Why Corals Are So Vulnerable: Coral reefs cover less than 1% of the ocean floor, yet are home to around 25% of all marine life. They are not plants but sensitive animals – and react to even the smallest chemical changes in the water. Certain UV filters trigger coral bleaching: the corals expel their vital algae, lose their colour and ultimately die. Hawaii became the first US state to ban the sale of sunscreens containing oxybenzone and octinoxate in 2021 – the so-called Hawaii Reef Bil
What Does “Coral-Friendly” Actually Mean?
A coral-friendly sunscreen avoids the demonstrably harmful chemical filters and instead relies on environmentally compatible alternatives. REVIDERM formulas contain none of the following:
✗ Oxybenzone – bleaches corals even at the lowest concentrations
✗ Octinoxate – damages the genetic material of marine organisms
✗ Octocrylene – bioaccumulates in marine life
Instead, REVIDERM uses:
Fragrance-free, hypoallergenic carrier formulas with minimal ecotoxicity
✓ Photostable, organically compatible filter compounds with no bioaccumulation
✓ Mineral components (zinc oxide-based) in selected formulas
✓ Fragrance-free, hypoallergenic carrier formulas with minimal ecotoxicity
Please note: “Coral-friendly” and “reef-safe” are not protected terms. Consumers should always check the specific ingredient list. With REVIDERM, you can rely on tested formulas free of problematic UV filters.

How to Apply REVIDERM Sun Care Correctly
Every day – even on cloudy days. Clouds filter only around 20% of UV radiation. The remaining 80% reaches the skin unimpeded.
Apply generously. Most people use too little sunscreen. As a rule of thumb: a pea-sized amount for the face, around 35 ml (six teaspoons) for the whole body.
Apply early and reapply regularly. Ideally 20–30 minutes before sun exposure. Always reapply after swimming or heavy sweating – even with “water-resistant” products.
Don’t forget exposed areas. Ears, lips, the tip of the nose, the backs of the hands and the décolleté are often neglected – yet they are particularly susceptible to sun damage. The Sun & Care Stick is designed precisely for these areas.
Don’t skip after-sun. The REVIDERM Beach Serum supports the skin’s natural regeneration after intense days in the sun – an often underestimated but essential step.
