SPF, with a side of Nobel Prize-winning technology

When VIOLET STAFFERS heard from Sarah Brown, Director of VIOLET LAB (AKA our Curator-In-Chief) that Isdin’s SPF formulas are light-as-air, absorb instantly, complement any complexion, nourish the skin with a healthy, all-physical formula, and use Nobel Prize-winning technology that harnesses the sun itself to repair photodamage, it became obvious that it was time to get them in house for testing.

From sun-drenched Los Angeles to overcast NYC (yes, UV damage still occurs even when it’s cloudy), STAFFERS slowly-but-surely fell for these silky, refined sunscreens. Skin tones from fair to deep were protected without that pesky white cast (common with mineral sun protection), and over time, we noticed hyperpigmentation from the days before our daily SPF rituals were beginning to fade. With the VIOLET cohort on board, it was time for our Committee of Industry Experts to slather up and see if it met their exacting standards.   

“Eryfotona Actinica SPF 50+ is one of my most favorite sunscreens on the planet. Not only is it mineral-based and has a high SPF of 50+, but it also contains an enzyme that corrects existing sun damage. For those who have deeper skin tones, the Eryfotona Ageless SPF 50 tinted version provides an imperceptible finish.”

“I love that these formulas not only protect but repair at the same time, plus are lightweight and go on like a dream.”

“This SPF doesn’t appear ashy, has great dry down, and is perfect for everyday use.”

You know a product is a winner when the makeup artists and dermatologists are both on board, and with Isdin’s sunscreens, each group had something to love. With a broad cross section of the Committee impressed by these skin defenders, Eryfotona Actinica SPF 50+ and Eryfotona Ageless SPF 50 are officially VIOLET CODE APPROVED and have earned a place on THE SHELVES.
