Ingredients Glossary

Tinosorb S is a safe, modern UV filter that provides excellent UVA and UVB protection (broad-spectrum protection). It also stabilizes other UV filters and works synergistically with them to protect your skin.

Univul A Plus is a safe, modern UVA filter. UVA radiation significantly contributes to skin aging. That’s why providing high UVA protection is especially important to us in our Dayshade products.

Iscotrizinol is a safe, modern UVB filter that also absorbs part of the UVA spectrum. This filter has excellent photostability, meaning it remains intact under UV exposure, ensuring long-lasting protection.

Univul T 150 is a safe, modern UVB filter that also absorbs part of the UVA spectrum.

Squalane helps improve skin hydration and is a natural component of the skin’s lipid barrier, making up 15% of it. It leaves the skin feeling soft and smooth without any greasy residue. We use COSMOS and USDA Organic-certified squalane, sustainably derived from sugarcane.

Tocotrienols are a specialized form of vitamin E. Their unique structure allows them to integrate exceptionally well into our membrane lipids. This provides long-lasting protection against skin aging, inflammation, and wrinkle formation.

Astaxanthin, derived from red algae, is considered the strongest antioxidant in the world. It protects the skin from premature aging and the harmful effects of UV radiation. Astaxanthin also gives our Dayshade products their red tint.

Tocopherol is a form of vitamin E that we use in many of our products.

Ceramides are special lipids that form the structure of our skin barrier. The skin barrier ensures that no harmful substances penetrate the skin while keeping it well hydrated. This is the key to healthy and therefore beautiful skin. Many skin problems result from a disrupted skin barrier, which can be alleviated by increasing the concentration of ceramides.
