With the arrival of spring and in the current economic context, protecting your skin while respecting the environment and the Canadian economy is a priority. At Marie Thread, we believe it is possible to reconcile quality care, eco-responsible choices and support for the local economy. That is why the products selected in-store include the best Quebec and Canadian sunscreens, known for their natural ingredients, effectiveness, and respect for our planet.
How to choose the best Quebec sunscreen for your skin?
Choose the best Quebec sunscreen adapted to their skin depends on several personal factors: skin type, sun exposure habits, and ingredient preferences. Sensitive or allergy-prone skin should favor mineral formulas, fragrance-free and without irritating agents. Those seeking a more eco-friendly approach will choose biodegradable products without chemical filters harmful to the oceans. Finally, the sun protection factor (SPF) should be selected based on the level of sunlight and the planned activity: an SPF 30 to 50 is recommended for optimal protection.
The benefits of a Quebec sunscreen
Support a québécois brand, it means supporting local production that often favors natural ingredients, respectful of the environment and better adapted to the Canadian climate. Many local companies also commit to formulating vegan, cruelty-free products and to reducing their ecological footprint through eco-responsible packaging. Why do people think that best sunscreen is Québécoise or Canadian? Because in addition to protecting your skin, you support the local economy and a more sustainable skincare industry.
