CLINICAL RESULTS
How to Use
Apply 2 pumps for the face (~1.6 ml, in line with EU SPF testing standards of 2 mg/cm²).
Use 1–2 additional pumps for neck and décolleté, depending on surface area. Distribute evenly before sun exposure. Don’t forget the backs of your hands.
☾ Evening Use
Thoroughly remove with one of our cleansers before continuing your evening routine.
💡 Sarah’s Tip: This is a non-mineral, lightweight SPF — one even layer is fully sufficient to achieve optimal protection. Please do not apply multiple layers on top of each other, as this interferes with proper sun protection formation and may negatively impact the level of protection. It may also affect how it feels on the skin. Instead, apply generously and reapply every 2–3 hours when outdoors, especially after swimming or sweating. Avoid the midday sun whenever possible.

WHAT IT IS
Our Ultra-Clean Standard
We go beyond the highest European standards, removing 2,200 harmful ingredients to ensure the purest, safest formulas for your skin.
And why to protect your skin from both UVA and UVB rays
Sun exposure is an inevitable part of life, but its effects on our skin can vary depending on the type of ultraviolet (UV) radiation we are exposed to. The two main types of UV radiation emitted by the sun are UVA and UVB rays. To effectively protect your skin, it’s important to understand the differences between them.
UVB rays = burning
UVB rays have shorter wavelengths compared to UVA rays and primarily affect the outer layers of the skin, known as the epidermis. These rays are most intense during the summer months and at higher altitudes, making them the primary cause of sunburn.
UVB radiation is often referred to as "burning" rays because they can cause redness, inflammation, and peeling of the skin. However, like UVA rays, UVB rays also contribute to premature ageing and increase the risk of skin cancer. While UVB rays are more directly associated with immediate skin damage, such as sunburn, their cumulative effects can also lead to long-term skin ageing and health concerns.
Apply sun-safe habits to protect your skin from sun exposure.
UVA rays = ageing
UVA rays have longer wavelengths compared to UVB rays, allowing them to penetrate deep into the skin's dermis layer. Unlike UVB rays, UVA rays are present all year round, regardless of the season or weather conditions. This makes them a threat to our skin's health even on cloudy days or during the winter months when UVB intensity is lower.
One of the primary effects of UVA radiation is ageing. With their ability to penetrate deep into the skin, they can damage collagen and elastin fibres. Collagen and elastin are essential proteins that provide elasticity and structure to the skin. When exposed to UVA rays over time, these fibres break down, leading to the development of lines, pigmentation and loss of elasticity.
UVA rays also contribute to the development of skin cancer, although not as much as UVB radiation. While UVB rays are typically associated with sunburn and immediate skin damage, UVA rays silently penetrate the skin, causing long-term harm that may not be immediately apparent.
It's important to understand that UVA rays can penetrate through windows, which means that even if you're indoors, you may still be exposed to them if you're sitting near a window at work or spending a lot of time in a car. This underscores the importance of daily sunscreen use and seeking shade whenever possible, regardless of whether you're indoors or outdoors.
Your Skin Deserves Better Than White Casts & Weak UVA Defense

Any questions? Let us answer them
Our SPF 50 Sun Cream is suitable for babies and toddlers from 6 months of age.
For babies under 6 months, we recommend avoiding direct sun exposure altogether. At this early stage of development, their skin is especially delicate and not yet ready for sun creams or UV exposure.
Yes, our sun care product is suitable for sensitive skin.
We use only modern, next-generation UV filters that are photostable, non-nano, and free from allergenic or hormone-disrupting potential. These filters are exceptionally gentle and well-tolerated — even by sensitive, reactive, or rosacea-prone skin.
Our SPF 50+ sunscreen is designed for modern life — and modern sun.
It offers high, broad-spectrum protection suitable for all skin types and is ideal for beach lovers, outdoor explorers, winter sports fans, and city dwellers alike.
The feather-light texture absorbs quickly, leaving no white cast or sticky residue — just a healthy, natural glow. That’s why it’s perfect for everyday use, all year round.
Important: Apply generously to face, neck, and décolleté before sun exposure to allow an even protective film to form.
Reapply every two to three hours, especially after swimming or sweating, to maintain full protection.
No, the product absorbs beautifully into the skin — without any white cast or greasy residue.
It leaves a radiant, non-sticky finish and feels weightless throughout the day.
Please ensure your skincare base is compatible: rich or occlusive products underneath can affect both the texture and how well the sunscreen sets on the skin — and may even interfere with protection.
If you’re unsure or have questions about layering, we’re here to help:

For best results, apply Aura Essence or Glow Serum before your SPF.
Allow it to absorb fully before applying the Everyday Sun Cream SPF 50+.
🌿 Aura Essence delivers long-lasting hydration and supports your skin barrier throughout the day.
✨ Glow Serum, rich in Vitamin C, can help boost the effectiveness of your sunscreen by neutralising free radicals and enhancing photoprotection.
This layering ensures your skin is protected, nourished, and radiant — all day long.
Suitable for all skin types, the non-comedogenic and hypoallergenic formula makes it especially ideal for breakout-prone and sensitive skin.
Yes, you absolutely can — even if you have oily skin.
We recommend applying only a lightweight essence or toner with hyaluronic acid before the sun cream. Our formula is hydrating enough on its own, so there’s no need for an additional moisturiser.
To avoid a heavy or greasy feeling, please skip richer creams or facial oils before application.
Alternatively, you can apply the sun cream directly onto clean skin.
“Reef-friendly” is not a regulated or protected term — neither by the EU nor by any global environmental body.
That said, we take the health of marine ecosystems seriously.
Our SUN CREAM SPF 50 does not contain Oxybenzone, a filter widely associated with coral bleaching. But it’s also important to note that even so-called “natural” filters like Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide can be harmful to marine life, as they act as photocatalysts and may cause oxidative stress in corals.
Instead, we use modern, photostable UV filters that have been shown to be safe according to European Environmental Protection standards.
And yes — all our formulas, including our SPF, are 100% free from microplastics.
We go beyond buzzwords and focus on true environmental responsibility — both in formulation and packaging.
No, our Everyday Sun Cream SPF 50+ contains no added fragrance or essential oils.
What you may notice is a light, natural scent reminiscent of plum seed oil or marzipan — this comes from the raw ingredients themselves and is not artificially added. The scent typically evaporates within moments of application.
We’ve formulated it specifically for sensitive skin, which means no allergens, no irritants, and no lingering perfume.
Under test conditions, the amount used corresponds to approximately 2 full pumps for the face.
This dosage achieves an SPF of 62 and a UVA protection factor of nearly 30 — offering almost double the minimum required for the official UVA seal (which mandates one-third of the SPF value).
Once opened, we recommend using the product within 6 months.
While it may remain safe for up to 12 months, the general rule of thumb is: avoid opening a product and leaving it unused for long periods. Over time, all skincare — no matter how well-formulated — begins to lose potency and freshness.
There are a few simple ways to protect your skin effectively:
☼ Avoid excessive sun exposure — especially around midday, when the sun is at its strongest.
☼ Seek shade when possible, and wear a wide-brimmed hat or cap to provide additional protection.
☼ Remember: overexposure to the sun is a serious health risk.
☼ Always protect babies and small children from direct sunlight. Use protective clothing and a high SPF sunscreen specially formulated for delicate skin.
So that you can easily carry it in your handbag when you’re out and about — whether at the beach or in the city — we’ve designed it to be lightweight and compact. Each container holds 50ml of fluid and is made from a mix of recycled and virgin plastic. It’s also 100% recyclable, meaning it can re-enter the system with a lower CO₂ footprint than the average aluminium tube.
