The Science Behind
Daily Brightening UV Defense Sunscreen SPF 30

Protect from UVA + UVB Rays

Damage caused by UV radiation can greatly affect skin health. Two types of UV rays penetrate the atmosphere, accelerating visible signs of aging and increasing the risk of skin cancer.

UVA rays penetrate through windows and clouds to cause premature aging.

UVB rays cause sunburn, blistering, and increase the risk of cancer.

To decrease the risk of the damage from rays and combat signs of photoaging, apply Daily Brightening UV Defense Sunscreen daily.

Dual-Action Defense

Sunscreens are either mineral, chemical, or a hybrid of both. Chemical sunscreens absorb damaging UVB rays but not be suitable for sensitive skin or post-procedure use. Mineral sunscreen, also known as physical sunscreen, reflect UV rays, but can leave a white cast on deeper skin tones. Hybrid sunscreen combines the effects of chemical and mineral filters to both reflect and absorb rays but is gentle enough for sensitive skin and does not leave a white cast

Maximize Antioxidant Protection

Environmental aggressors such as UV light or pollution cause free radicals damage that leads to visible signs of premature aging. Our potent antioxidant formulas are clinically proven to boost environmental protection caused by free radicals.
