About Cicaplast Repairing Baume B5+ SPF50

Overview

Cicaplast Repairing Baume B5+ SPF50 is a cushioning sunscreen from La Roche-Posay, a brand based in France. It is rated SPF 50. Its job is UV protection, with the rest of the formula working on hydration and soothing. The ingredient list runs to 47 ingredients, each broken down in full below.

Texture and finish

By its ingredient list the formula reads as moderately cushioned — emollient enough to feel like a cream, without the heaviest occlusives near the top. Silicones in the formula tend to give a smooth, blurred finish and help it grip under makeup. Hydration is handled by Glycerin, Panthenol and Butylene Glycol, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.

UV filter system

It is a chemical (organic-filter) sunscreen, using Tinosorb S, Uvinul T 150, Avobenzone, Uvinul A Plus, Ensulizole and Mexoryl SX. Between them those filters cover UVB, UVA II and UVA I, so the formula is broad-spectrum in the meaningful sense: it reaches past 340 nm, where the ageing wavelengths sit. The formula contains a photounstable filter alongside a stabiliser, which is the standard and effective way to keep it from degrading in sunlight.

What the formula does

Hydration: Very high. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Glycerin, Panthenol, Butylene Glycol and Water.

Soothing: High. Ingredients aimed at visible redness and reactivity, and here that comes from Panthenol, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate and Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract.

Barrier support: Moderate. Lipids and repair signals that support skin barrier integrity, and here that comes from Panthenol and Madecassoside.

Who it suits

On richness alone it suits Balanced skin best, and is the least natural fit for Dry, Combination (dry), Combination (oily) and Oily skin. Nothing in the list is flagged as a common irritant, which is a reasonable starting point for reactive skin — though a patch test is still the only way to know.

What it does not target

The formula contributes little or nothing on antioxidant protection, brightening and tone, cell renewal and firmness signalling. That is not a fault — most products are not meant to do everything — but if one of those is your priority, this is not the product that will address it.

What is not in it

Reading the full list, the formula is fragrance-free, essential-oil-free, paraben-free, microplastic-free, sulfate-free and dye-free. Those claims come from the ingredient list itself, not from the packaging. It does contain drying alcohol, worth knowing if your skin reacts to any of them.

Where it fits in a routine

Use it in the morning. In a routine it goes final morning step, before makeup. Apply about two finger-lengths for the face and neck — under-application is the single most common reason sunscreen underperforms. Reapply every two hours of sun exposure, and after swimming or towelling off. Let it set for a couple of minutes before makeup so it does not pill.

This summary is generated from the product's ingredient list. It is not a review, it is not the brand's own marketing claims, and it does not replace advice from a dermatologist.

Drawn purely from the ingredient list

Pros

  • Broad-spectrum coverage that reaches into UVA I
  • No fragrance or declared allergens
  • No essential oils
  • No microplastics

Suitable for

  • Balanced skin

Less suitable for

  • Dry skin
  • Combination (dry) skin

UV filters

Chemical (organic) filter system · broad-spectrum through UVA I

Tinosorb S

bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine

Photostable
Yes — photostable
Generation
Next-generation broad-spectrum filter
Approved in
EU, UK, Korea, Japan, Australia — not FDA-approved in the US
Maximum permitted level
Up to 10% (EU)

One of the most photostable filters in use, and it stabilises avobenzone and octinoxate alongside it. Oil-soluble, cosmetically light, no white cast.

Uvinul T 150

ethylhexyl triazone

UVB (290–320 nm)
Photostable
Yes — photostable
Generation
Next-generation UVB filter
Approved in
EU, UK, Korea, Japan — not FDA-approved in the US
Maximum permitted level
Up to 5% (EU)

The most efficient UVB absorber available by weight, which is why high-SPF formulas reach SPF 50+ without feeling heavy. Contributes nothing to UVA.

Avobenzone

butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane
Protects from
UVA II (320–340 nm), UVA I (340–400 nm)
Photostable
No — degrades in sunlight
Generation
Second-generation UVA filter
Approved in
Approved worldwide
Maximum permitted level
Up to 5% (EU), 3% (US)

The workhorse UVA filter, and the fragile one: it loses a large share of its protection within an hour of sun unless the formula pairs it with a stabiliser such as octocrylene or Tinosorb S.

Uvinul A Plus

diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate
Protects from
UVA II (320–340 nm), UVA I (340–400 nm)
Photostable
Yes — photostable
Generation
Next-generation UVA filter
Approved in
EU, UK, Korea, Japan — not FDA-approved in the US
Maximum permitted level
Up to 10% (EU)

A photostable replacement for avobenzone: it peaks at 354 nm, deep in UVA I, and does not need a stabiliser to survive the day.

Ensulizole

phenylbenzimidazole sulfonic acid
Protects from
UVB (290–320 nm)
Photostable
Yes — photostable
Generation
First-generation UVB filter
Approved in
Approved worldwide
Maximum permitted level
Up to 8% (EU), 4% (US)

Water-soluble, which makes it the filter of choice for gel and lotion textures that have to feel weightless.

Mexoryl SX

terephthalylidene dicamphor sulfonic acid
Protects from
UVA II (320–340 nm), UVA I (340–400 nm)
Photostable
Yes — photostable
Generation
Next-generation UVA filter
Approved in
EU, UK, Korea, Japan — US approval limited to specific products
Maximum permitted level

Water-soluble UVA filter, which is unusual — most UVA filters are oil-soluble.

Where it fits in a routine

Morning
  1. Cleanse
  2. Toning
  3. Treat
  4. Moisturise
  5. Protect

This product is the "Protect" step.

  • Apply about two finger-lengths for the face and neck — under-application is the single most common reason sunscreen underperforms.
  • Reapply every two hours of sun exposure, and after swimming or towelling off.
  • Let it set for a couple of minutes before makeup so it does not pill.

Safety and suitability

Flags to check, not verdicts. None of this is medical advice — if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or treating a skin condition, ask a doctor.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Nothing in this formula is on the standard pregnancy-caution list. That is not clearance — ask your doctor about anything you use daily.
Fungal acne (malassezia)
5 ingredients could feed malassezia: Isopropyl Palmitate, Isopropyl Myristate, Glyceryl Stearate, Peg-100 Stearate, Lactobacillus. That is about the yeast's food supply, not a prediction that you will break out.
Sensitive and reactive skin
No ingredient in this formula carries a common-irritant flag, making it a reasonable option for reactive skin. A patch test is still recommended, as individual skin reactivity varies.
