Ingredients
Advanced UV Filters
A complex of premium, modern chemical sun filters carefully selected for their high performance on the skin, photostability and skin friendly benefits.

Encapsulated Photolyase
Derived from plankton extract, photolyase is a light-activated DNA repair enzyme which supports the skin’s natural defence mechanisms against DNA damage caused by UV light.

Blueberry Seed Oil
Sustainably sourced from 800,000 upcycled blueberries*, blueberry seed oil is rich in beta-carotene and acts as a natural shield against blue light.

Marrubium Vulgare Extract
A powerful antioxidant that provides essential protection to shield delicate skin from pollution-induced damage.

Carnosine
A protective peptide that is naturally produced in the body, carnosine blocks skin-damaging sugars from binding to collagen in the skin in a process called glycation. This helps to prevent the formation of wrinkles, while shielding skin from infrared damage.

Squalane
Squalane is an almost skin-identical lipid that helps to support the natural skin barrier, working to moisturise and nourish the complexion.

Multi-weight Hyaluronic Acid
With a unique ability to attract and retain more than 1,000x its own weight in water, hyaluronic acid can draw in moisture, leaving the complexion feeling both nourished and supple.

  • SPF 50+ PA++++ with premium modern UV filters — chosen for their high performance on the skin and their stability in sunlight.
  • Encapsulated photolyase — a light-activated DNA repair enzyme derived from plankton extract, which helps to support the skin's natural repair after UV exposure.
  • Blueberry seed oil — sustainably sourced from upcycled blueberries and rich in beta-carotene, it absorbs blue light before it reaches the skin.
  • Marrubium vulgare extract — an antioxidant that helps to shield the skin from pollution-induced damage.
  • Carnosine — a protective peptide that blocks skin-damaging sugars from binding to collagen, and helps shield against infrared.
  • Squalane and multi-weight hyaluronic acid — an almost skin-identical lipid plus hyaluronic acid, to support the barrier and hold on to moisture.

How to use

Use in the morning as the final step of your skincare. Patch test 24 hours before your first application.

  • Apply 5 pumps, about a quarter of a teaspoon, to the face in light, upward strokes, avoiding the eye area.
  • Apply 5 more pumps to the neck and décolletage, and allow to absorb fully.
  • Reapply through the day as needed, and every two hours if you are in direct sunlight.

It layers well over a vitamin C serum.

FAQ

Do I need a separate moisturiser?
Not necessarily — it is designed as an all-in-one day cream. Add one underneath if your skin runs dry.
Can I use it with vitamin C?
Yes. Apply your vitamin C serum first and use this as the last morning step.
Is it only for summer?
No. It is designed as a year-round step, in every season and climate.
Does it leave a white cast?
No. It is designed to finish invisible on all skin tones.
How much should I use?
5 pumps, about a quarter of a teaspoon, for the face, plus more for the neck and décolletage.

Highest protection, every day.
