the sun damage protection set: repair serum + clear gel SPF 50

our most science-backed pairing. a serum rich in antioxidants to repair uv damage and boost collagen, plus a clear gel broad-spectrum SPF 50.

the SPF has no white cast, is water and sweat resistant for 80 minutes, dries to a velvety smooth finish, and offers a more substantial skin-feel than other clear gels. lightly scented to smell like cocoa and vanilla.

active ingredients:

serum - vitamin c (15%), vitamin e (1%), ferulic acid (0.5%)

SPF - uv filters: octocrylene 10%, homosalate 10%, octisalate 5%, avobenzone 3%

research:

serum: topical vitamin c improves sun-damaged skin, reduces wrinkles, and increases collagen production [Fitzpatrick 2002] [Humbert 2003] [Nusgens 2001]. these exact concentrations — 15% vitamin c, 1% vitamin e, 0.5% ferulic acid — protected human skin against uv damage, adding to spf rather than replacing it [Murray 2008].

SPF: daily broad-spectrum sunscreen is the most effective anti-aging product there is. in a 4.5-year randomized trial of 903 adults, daily sunscreen users showed 24% less skin aging than people who applied it only when they remembered [Hughes 2013]. sunscreen blocks uv; antioxidants handle what gets through. wear the serum underneath.

no fads, no misleading claims. see more research.

vegan. the SPF is scented to improve the natural smell of sunscreen. made in usa with global materials.
