-        Sunlight

-        Smoke

-        Heavy metals

-        Pollen

-        Chemical and volatile pollutants

Additionally, information is provided on which products with which ingredients can protect against particulate matter or free radicals, for example, or which products can strengthen the skin barrier.

Among others, the following ingredients are mentioned:

-        Panthenol

-        Glycerin
