Clear Daily Soothing UV Defense SPF 50 from SkinCeuticals

April 11, 2025April 9, 2025 by Natalie

Soothing protection for sensitive skin.

SkinCeuticals’ latest innovation, Clear Daily Soothing UV Defense SPF 50, is here!

Offering a hybrid blend of mineral + chemical ingredients featuring soothing technology to defend against UV-induced inflammation, you can expect it to calm sensitive skin, reduce redness, and improve skin texture while leaving a hydrating and transparent finish.

WHO IS IT FOR?

Clear Daily Soothing UV Defense SPF 50 offers broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection for all skin types. The hybrid formula combines 7% zinc oxide and chemical filters with patented Netlock™ technology, a unique sunscreen innovation for an even distribution of actives and a light, non-greasy feel on skin.

It soothes and reduces visible redness, increases skin hydration, improves skin texture and protects the skin from sun damage. It is non-comedogenic making it suitable for acne and blemish-prone skin. It is formulated with organic filters to help offset the appearance of a white cast.

*Tip: Make sure to completely rub in the product until it is no longer visible and completely absorbed.

ADVANCED SOOTHING TECHNOLOGY

Hybrid Blend of UV filters

7% Zinc Oxide (mineral filter): A white powder that acts as a UV protective filter that reflects UVA and UVB rays. It also has astringent and anti-inflammatory properties.

+ 8% Homosalate (chemical filter): A synthetic organic sun filter that absorbs UVB radiation. In addition to protecting the skin from the sun’s harmful effects, homosalate is also a good solvent for other sun filters.

+ 5% Octisalate (chemical filter): An oil-soluble organic sun filter that protects the skin from burning UVB rays.

+ 5% Octocrylene (chemical filter): An organic sun filter, octocrylene absorbs UVB radiation, thereby protecting the skin from the sun’s harmful effects, such as skin aging and the risk of skin cancer. It also enables products to be water resistant.

2.5% Palmitoyl Tripeptide-8
Soothes skin sensitivity and helps reduce UVB-induced inflammation, protecting against sun damage. Did you know? Tri-peptides in skincare are used to help reduce signs of aging including fine lines and wrinkles by improving skin’s elasticity.

0.5% Bisabolol
Reduces visible skin redness (erythema) and inflammation.

7% Glycerin
Draws in and retains moisture, thus hydrating and easing discomfort. Glycerin is a powerful humectant with water-binding properties which support in delivering intense hydration. SkinCeuticals only uses vegetable-derived sources of glycerin.

Netlock™ UV Technology
Netlock™ polymer associated with UV filters for consistent SPF performance and a lightweight, non-greasy feel on skin.

The interlocking filters also provide greater resistance to water, sweat, and sand. This increased resistance not only makes the sun protection last longer, but also limits the migration of the product into the aquatic environment.

The result? A sunscreen that delivers broad-spectrum protection with cosmetic elegance.

HOW TO APPLY

1. For optimal absorption, ensure the skin is well moisturized before application.

2. Apply 2-4 pumps to face, neck and decolletage 15 minutes before sun exposure and before applying makeup.

3. The initial white cast is an application guide to ensure every area of the face is covered. After 3-5 minutes, the white cast fades, after which you can apply makeup.

4. Re-apply at least every two hours, or after 40 minutes of swimming or sweating. Re-apply immediately after any towel drying.

POWERFUL SOOTHING RESULTS

Clear Daily Soothing UV Defense SPF 50 was evaluated by over 90 diverse subjects (Fitzpatrick I-VI) with sensitive, sun-reactive skin over 4 weeks.

After 1 Week:

95.7% felt soothed throughout the day
82.9% noticed visible redness reduction
91.3% felt smoother skin

*PROTOCOL: A 4-week consumer test was conducted on 92 subjects with Fitzpatrick I-VI, ages 25-60 with visible or self-perceived redness/blotchiness, rough skin texture, or dull skin. 50 subjects had previously experienced skin discomfort/reactivity due to sun exposure. Clear Daily Soothing UV Defense SPF 50 was applied once daily in the morning as the last step in skincare routine with reapplication every 2 hours when exposed to sun. Efficacy was assessed at immediate, week 1, and week 4 patients.

Gentle Genius Barrier Care from Pai Skincare

March 13, 2025March 13, 2025 by Natalie

Redefining sensitive body care.

Introducing Pai’s groundbreaking new Gentle Genius Barrier Care, a ceramide-powered body collection, clinically proven to hydrate for up to 24 hours for a healthy barrier and happier skin.

Redefining sensitive body care, the targeted range features four innovative products, including a unique in-shower duo, to strengthen and soothe, transforming skin from top to toe with high-performing actives.

THE COLLECTION: WHAT’S INSIDE?

Using pioneering green chemistry, every formula contains a biomimicking ceramide and botanical complex that is proven to support the skin barrier and lock in hydration for maximum comfort. Renowned for its soothing, anti-inflammatory and moisturizing properties, colloidal oat, a key ingredient, helps support the skin barrier and replenish lipids – reducing trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) to keep skin hydrated, protected and calm.

Each product has been delicately fragranced with Pai’s proprietary 100% natural KindScent™. An uplifting, low-allergen and dermatologist-approved aroma that’s well tolerated by sensitive skin – as proven in 96-hour patch tests.

SOAK & SEAL SYSTEM: STEPS 1 & 2

The optimum time for skin to absorb moisture is when it’s wet. A revolutionary approach to in-shower hydration and barrier protection, Pai’s first-of-its-kind Soak & Seal System™ pairs two products which work in perfect sync to maximize moisturization and lock it in for longer-lasting comfort.

Gentle Genius Barrier Care Replenishing Body Wash
**PAI SKINCARE**

A non-drying, luxurious cream-to-foam body wash powered by ceramides and colloidal oats for all-over calm and conditioning. Clinically proven to instantly moisturize and support the skin barrier, and designed to be paired with the Wet Skin Moisturizer to seal hydration in for longer.

Gentle Genius Barrier Care Wet Skin Moisturizer
**PAI SKINCARE**

A fast-acting ceramide and 100% natural squalane moisturizer to apply immediately after the Replenishing Body Wash. This formula is designed to work on wet skin – for ultra-speedy, effortless application and to lock moisture in – and is clinically proven to keep skin hydrated for up to 12 hours.

THE BODY & HAND CREAMS: STEPS 3&4

Gentle Genius Barrier Care Soothing Body Cream
**PAI SKINCARE**

Pai’s calming, comforting body cream, reformulated with ceramides and calendula for intensive nourishment and enhanced barrier repair. Clinically proven to keep skin moisturized for up to 24 hours and proven to be suitable for eczema-prone skin, it’s rich in omegas, prebiotic inulin and sea buckthorn to protect and soothe.

Gentle Genius Barrier Care Rapid Rescue Hand Cream
**PAI SKINCARE**

A fast-absorbing and non-greasy hand cream for the most hardworking hands. Fuelled by ceramides and meadowfoam to restore the skin’s protective barrier and revive dry, chapped skin, this nourishing formula is clinically proven to instantly hydrate, with an innovative NMF Sugar Complex to help keep hands soft and supple long-term.

PROVEN RESULTS: WHAT TO EXPECT?

Based on a one-week independent consumer trial of the Soothing Body Cream on 117 subjects with sensitive and eczema-prone skin:

– 92% said it soothed dry skin

– 90% said skin felt instantly soothed

– 88% said skin felt more comfortable

This collection is ideal for anyone who wants to bring instant comfort to sensitive, sensitized or reactive skin – including those prone to eczema and psoriasis.

New Fragrance Arrivals Everyone’s Talking About

January 21, 2025August 22, 2023 by Natalie

Nectar, nuts and vanilla, oh my…

In the past few weeks, three new fragrance arrivals have delighted our clients and flown off our shelves. Delicious and indulgent with an intoxicating twist, each is destined to be the talk of the fragrance world for months to come. So what are you waiting for? Join the conversation!

**ESCAPADE GOURMANDE**
Maison Mataha

Our newest brand, Paris’ Maison Mataha, has only released one fragrance, but they only needed one to take over the world. Escapade Gourmande is nostalgic, creamy vanilla diffused through pale pink clouds of addictive white musk, forming an intoxicating, truly endless trail. It’s no wonder this fragrance had a mile-long waitlist before it arrived!

For lovers of indulgent gourmands, Escapade Gourmande sets itself apart.

**DELTA OF VENUS**
ERIS Parfums

The bewitching, boundless creativity of this New York brand continues with this fruity sensation. In a sinfully decadent re-telling of Adam and Eve, the “forbidden fruit” takes the form of a guava accord so visceral, textured and immersive it’s practically virtual reality. It seriously must be smelled to be believed.

For lovers of juicy, delicious scents, Delta of Venus is a historic achievement with a dash of grown-up sex appeal.

**FACES OF FRANCIS**
Vilhelm Parfumerie

Riffing on the memories and desires of painter Francis Bacon, famous for his disturbing deconstructions of the human form, Vilhelm has managed to find a gentle magnetic warmth underneath all that brooding. Featuring smoky wood, resins and a lovely pistachio accord smooth like organic nut butter, the first great fall fragrance is already here.

For lovers of mysterious woods, Faces of Francis is artistic, confident and effortlessly wearable.

COMING SOON

A sneak preview… sampling now!

**DODO JACKFRUIT EDITION**
Zoologist

Balancing an almost-unheard-of jackfruit accord (think pineapple-banana-mango smoothie) with sparkling spices like turmeric and pink pepper, Dodo Jackfruit drops this tropical cocktail into a powdery-creamy-woody jungle. It’s just the kind of olfactory hallucination Zoologist is famous for, and luckily, this trip is a happy one. Subtly sweet and blissfully breezy, Dodo Jackfruit is a one-of-a-kind scented landscape from Toronto’s favourite mad scent scientists.

Limited edition bottles will be available on August 25th, but samples are available now!
