Dear kathy, this is the link to their website:

www.canova.it and you can find an e-mail adress on it.

Hope it can help

I have been using it from this winter until now (except for the summer), in alternance with P&R in sunny days, and I find its texture nice and not pastry at all.

Thank you Contin, however, I wish I understood the language! I cannot figure out what the SPF is, and translate all the data on it! Also I cannot figure out how to "add to cart" or if they ship to Canada, pricing, etc. Can anyone help?

SPF is Skin Protection Factor. It is not actually skin protection but the development of erythema (skin redness) after UV exposure.

If SPF 1 is no protection,
then SPF 2 would be 1 divided by 2 or a 50% reductionn in redness and so on.

SPF 4 would be 1 divided by 4 or a 75% reduction.

Most experts say numbers beyound SPF 15 have little meaning.

Hi Contin, I'm Italian as well and live in Verona - may I ask you how long you've been using skinbio products and where you buy them?
Thanks, ciao!

Dear Kathy, I'm sorry but CANOVA told me that they are still unable to sell their products abroad.. Frowner

I don't know how to help you. If you have some idea, don't hesitate to tell me about it.

Dr. Pickart,

I don't read Italian, either, but what about the 3% PCA Na in the sunscreen?

I agree that is a problem but there are so few good sunblockers on the market. A light oil would block any action by the 3% PCA.
