How SUN DEFENSE works: The new intelligent protection

Traditional sun protection relies on UV filters that block the sun's rays to prevent sunburn, skin aging, and skin cancer. However, these conventional sunscreens have limitations, particularly in real-world use, where they are often applied incorrectly, and raise questions about their environmental impact.

SUN DEFENSE revolutionizes photoprotection by offering a formula without UV filters or SPF, which acts differently: by strengthening your skin's natural defenses.

A protective mist without a UV filter: how does it work?

Unlike conventional sunscreens, SUN DEFENSE contains no UV filters. Therefore, it does not directly block UVA and UVB rays, but works by strengthening the skin's natural resistance to sun damage.

This unique approach focuses on active photoprotection, which supports the skin's biological mechanisms to better combat the effects of the sun.

The mechanisms of action of SUN DEFENSE:

Neutralizing free radicals

Sun exposure generates a massive production of free radicals, unstable molecules responsible for oxidative stress, the main factor in premature aging and cellular degradation. SUN DEFENSE contains natural and highly effective antioxidant actives capable of trapping these free radicals before they damage skin cells.

Stimulation of natural skin DNA repair mechanisms

UV rays cause damage to the DNA of skin cells, leading to mutations that can result in cellular disorders and accelerated aging. SUN DEFENSE stimulates the cellular pathways involved in repairing damaged DNA by promoting the expression of repair enzymes. This action prevents the accumulation of damage and helps maintain the health and youthfulness of skin cells.

Targeted anti-inflammatory effect and strengthening of the skin's immune system

Sun exposure often induces a visible inflammatory reaction (redness, irritation) but also invisible inflammation that weakens the skin barrier. The active ingredients in SUN DEFENSE possess powerful anti-inflammatory properties, which reduce these reactions and help soothe the skin. Furthermore, the product supports local immune defenses, increasing the skin's ability to defend itself against environmental aggressors.

Enhanced hydration and preservation of the skin microbiome

Optimal hydration is essential for maintaining skin's suppleness and resilience. SUN DEFENSE improves the skin's ability to retain water, preventing dehydration often caused by the sun. Furthermore, its formula preserves the balance of the skin's microbiome, a collection of microorganisms essential for skin health, thus ensuring a strengthened natural skin barrier against UV damage.

A clean, respectful and sustainable formula

Without chemical or mineral UV filters

Why choose SUN DEFENSE this summer?

For active photoprotection that works deep within the skin

To avoid the side effects or environmental impacts of conventional UV filters

For an innovative, sustainable solution that is more respectful of skin health and the planet

SUN DEFENSE does not work like a conventional sunscreen. Its strength lies in its ability to reinforce the skin's natural defenses against the sun, by limiting oxidative stress, promoting cell repair, and protecting the skin's balance.

This is a new generation of skincare, smarter, more sustainable, and adapted to the real needs of sun-exposed skin.
