ABOUT THE BRAND
12 hours a day, 7 days a week. It's our reminder that UV protection isn't a holiday product, it's a daily ritual.
Developed in Switzerland and made in Italy, combining scientific precision with refined craftsmanship.
Our Vitamin E Sunbar is fully vegan. Across the line, our products are cruelty-free and developed without animal testing.
ABOUT SPF
Yes. Up to 80% of visible skin ageing is linked to UV exposure. Daily SPF is the single most effective anti-ageing step you can take.
Yes. UVA rays travel through windows. If you commute, work near a window or spend time on screens, you're being exposed.
SPF 50 filters approximately 98% of UVB rays, compared to about 97% for SPF 30. The bigger factor is how generously and how often you apply.
Roughly two finger-lengths for the face and neck, or 2–3 drops of the Peptide+ Emulsion. Reapply every two hours during direct sun exposure.
Yes. The Vitamin E Sunbar is designed to be swiped over makeup without disturbing your finish.
PRODUCT QUESTIONS
No. Both formulas are designed to disappear into the skin without residue across all skin tones.

Yes. We use ocean-safe, reef-friendly filters.
Our products are formulated with skin-friendly, non-controversial ingredients. As with any skincare during pregnancy, we recommend checking with your doctor.
Please refer to the PAO ("period after opening") symbol on each product, which states how many months the product remains effective once opened.
INGREDIENT QUESTIONS
We use a modern European filter system selected for stability, performance, and long-term skin protection. These filters are designed to maintain effectiveness throughout the day, providing consistent broad-spectrum UVA + UVB coverage with an elegant skin feel.
Some of the world’s most advanced UV filters are developed and widely used in Europe. These filters are recognized for:
- Strong UVA protection
- Broad-spectrum coverage
- High stability in sunlight
- Improved daily wearability
We chose these technologies because they perform exceptionally well in real-life conditions and support consistent daily use.
We take a performance-led approach to daily protection. Modern organic filters offer more even coverage, stronger UVA performance, and a lighter, more wearable finish on the skin.
Daily protection only works if people actually want to wear it.
Different platforms use different scoring systems. Some focus on theoretical hazard alone rather than concentration, formulation context, or real-world use conditions.
We prioritize:
- globally accepted cosmetic regulations
- published safety data
- formula stability and performance
- long-term skin compatibility
Every ingredient is selected intentionally and used within approved safety standards.
Protection is not a moment, it’s a daily practice.
We formulate for how skin actually lives: exposed to light, environment, movement, and time. Every ingredient is chosen to support performance, comfort, and long-term skin resilience.
