Every morning as the last step before make-up.

If exposed to the sun, apply at least one full pump to the face. The stroke volume is 0.8 ml.

Normal to oily skin: The UVA booster can be used as a standalone product in the morning.

Dry skin: We recommend applying a moisturizer before using the UVA booster.

Dehydrated skin: We recommend applying a moisturizing serum before the UVA booster.

Example routine: 1. Cleanser 2. Toner 3. Vitamin C serum 4. UVA booster

sun protection innovation

Our unique formula provides UVA protection that exceeds UVB protection – for the most effective prevention of premature skin aging, without the feel of conventional sunscreen.

gold standard

The UVA booster is double tested! With the standard test procedure and additionally the gold standard.

In Europe, the absorption in the UVA range is usually determined using a measuring device (in vitro) together with the SPF (Sun Protection Factor). This test is considered passed if it is at least 1/3 of the SPF.

In Japan, for example, it is common practice to measure PPD (Persistent Pigment Darkening) on real test subjects (in vivo). This method is considered the gold standard for determining UVA protection. It is much more complex and, since it is not mandatory in Europe, PPD information is rarely found.

Although PPD is often used synonymously with the calculated UVA PF, the values can differ slightly because they are two different ways of describing UVA protection.

1% for the Climate

There are no climate-neutral products. It is also extremely complex to determine the CO2 footprint of a product including all supply chains. Therefore, a flat rate of 1% of sales goes to Atmosfair. This means that each UVA booster binds 15kg of CO2 in a climate protection project.

Small application quantities reduce the protective performance. Repeat application several times to maintain protection, especially after bathing, sweating or drying off. Avoid excessive sun exposure. Sunscreens do not provide complete protection from UV rays. Please use shade and long clothing. Excessive sunbathing poses a serious health risk. Protect babies and young children from direct sunlight. Avoid eye contact.
