 The first protective care that works like a high performance biological shield, developed from extreme biology, stem cell research and photo stable filter intelligence.

  • Sun protection, regeneration, barrier care and epigenetic cell protection through state-of-the-art stem cell technology in a single product. 
  • Promotes natural resistance, reduces light stress and supports the skin’s own repair mode. 
  • Preserves cell energy and demonstrably reduces transepidermal water loss.

Provides targeted protection against UVB, UVA¹, IR-A and blue light – even for the most sensitive skin or skin undergoing therapy

  • With particularly light-stable high-performance filters 
  • without hormonal risks
  • Colipa-certified, highly compatible and ecologically safe.

    State-of-the-art UV filter technology

    • Active ingredients: Tinosorb S, Uvinul A Plus, Ethylhexyl Triazone
    • Photostable up to 450 nm (UVA1)
    • No hormonal effect (BASF 2020 study)
    • Low risk of irritation according to the EU SCCS report
    • Advantages: Broad-spectrum protection, no whitening effect, good tolerance
    • After 10 hours in the tropical sun, the filters are still 85% active and effective
    • Application is best at every 2 hours.
    • Award-winning stem cell technology
    •  +186% cell vitality under UVA stress
    • +80% DNA protection
    • Inhibits MMP-1 activity (matrix degradation)
    • Function: Preservation of epidermal stem cell function
    • Made from plant stem cells of Arctic lingonberries
    • This berry has learnt to withstand UV, cold and drought over millions of years – and passes on its strategies.  The microorganisms in the post biotic Bacillus ferment originate from the Río Tinto – the most acidic and iron-rich river on earth. 
    • It is characterised by extreme UV radiation, high metal concentrations and a, extremely low pH value. 
    • Activates aquaporin-3 (AQP3)
    • Reduces TEWL by up to -32% (Lipotrue data)
    • Active principle: Cellular resilience through evolutionary intelligence
    • Vegan
      • Panthenol – anti-inflammatory
      • Aloe vera – hydrating & soothing
      • Squalane analogues & skin-like emulsifiers
      • Tocopherol – antioxidant
      • Perfume-free & non-comedogenic
        • Non-greasyEffect: Immediate skin comfort, even with a sensitive skin barrier
        • Also suitable for reactive or therapy-accompanied skin
        • Ideal under make-up
        • Application: daily, possible all year round

What Makes sunlight so dangerous?

UVA – Penetrates deep into the dermis, destroys collagen fibres – leads to photoaging, deep wrinkles and tissue breaks.

UVB  – damages DNA directly – can lead to sunburn, pigmentation disorders and skin cancer (basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma).

Infrared rays (IR-A) – Heats deeper tissue, activates collagen-degrading enzymes – favours sagging, loss of elasticity and the formation of structural wrinkles.

Blue light (HEV) – Causes oxidative cell stress – promotes hyperpigmentation, tired radiance, premature skin ageing in the long term.

Free Radicals – Damage cell structures and the extracellular matrix scaffold – visible consequences: deep wrinkles, loss of elasticity, inflammatory skin conditions.

Fine dust – Particulate matter and pollutants cause oxidative stress – visible in a dull complexion, enlarged pores, inflammatory irritation and accelerated ageing.

Temperature-Stress – Heat accelerates enzyme degradation processes, cold weakens microcirculation – consequences are loss of barrier, redness, feeling of tension, chrono aging.

Chronic degenerative skin changes (dermatoheliosis)  – Deep structural skin breaks, elastotic degeneration – the skin becomes thickened, coarse-pored, brittle and loses its mechanical resilience.
– Collagen and elastin fibres are broken down by MMPs (matrix metalloproteinases) – result: structural collapse of the dermis

Skin immunosuppression – UV radiation suppresses the immune system locally

Increased susceptibility to infections, poorer wound healing, reactivation of viruses (e.g. herpes simplex) and increased tumour formation (actinic keratosis, spinaliomas, melanomas).

Pigmentation disorders & post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)

  • UV can aggravate existing skin conditions: Acne, rosacea, melasma 
  • Scars heal worse and discolour
  • Darker skin types are particularly prone to blotchy hyperpigmentation, which is difficult to treat.

 Loss of the skin barrier

  • Chronic UV exposure leads to increased TEWL (transepidermal water loss) and barrier disorders
  • Visible consequences: dry, flaky skin, irritation, neurogenic inflammatory reactions, increased reactivity to cosmetics.

Photodermatoses and UV-induced diseases

  • People with certain genetic or immunological predispositions develop light allergies or polymorphous light dermatoses.
  • Medications (e.g. antibiotics, St John’s wort) can cause phototoxic reactions

Eye damage and periorbital skin ageing

  • The thin skin around the eyes is particularly sensitive to light – the result: wrinkles, sagging, darkening.
  • UV not only damages the skin, but also the eye lens and retina → Risk of cataracts and macular degeneration
