Clinically proven to boost moisturisation by 18% after just 28 days of daily use, this breathable, non-greasy cream doubles as a skin-nourishing treatment enriched with antioxidant Calendula and regenerative Rosehip — the daily ritual that protects your glow and builds it, all at once.

At the heart of this formulation, nano-particle Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide act as a physical shield — reflecting and scattering both UVA and UVB rays across the full spectrum without chemical absorption, maintaining exceptional photostability throughout sun exposure. Their refined nano-sizing ensures the filter layer remains sheer and non-occlusive, allowing skin to breathe freely while sustaining SPF 50 efficacy. Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract works synergistically within this base to calm inflammatory pathways, stimulate cellular turnover, and reinforce hydration, while Rosa Canina Fruit Oil contributes potent antioxidant activity — confirmed by in vitro test — to neutralise free radical stress triggered by UV and environmental exposure. Together, the botanical lipid matrix deeply nourishes the moisture barrier, with the full formula clinically proven to significantly increase skin moisturisation by 18% after 28 days of once-a-day application. With continued daily use, skin becomes visibly calmer, more evenly toned, and durably hydrated — protected and progressively perfected from the very first application.
- Apply liberally and uniformly to the face and all exposed areas 15 minutes before sun exposure.
- Reapply frequently, especially after sweating, swimming, or towel-drying, to maintain full SPF 50 protection throughout the day.
- Sensitive or reactive skin prone to redness and irritation that requires broad-spectrum mineral sun protection without chemical UV filters.
- Those targeting uneven skin tone, hyperpigmentation, or post-inflammatory marks who want daily UV defence paired with antioxidant and brightening support.
- Anyone seeking a lightweight, non-greasy SPF 50 that functions as a nourishing moisturiser suitable for use across all skin types, including mature and dry complexions.
