Marie Veronique's COLORFREE ZINC Sunscreen is a revolutionary, non-nano zinc oxide-only formula that offers invisible, full-spectrum protection for all skin tones, types, and ages...without a trace of white cast. Research shows that 97% of wrinkles are caused by sun exposure, and that UVA rays can penetrate windows and clouds. COLORFREE is more than a sunscreen...it's your most important tool and essential AM regimen step for healthy, protected skin in the face of today's unavoidable environmental stressors. This botanical-forward shield defends against UVA/UVB rays, blue light, and even post-sun cellular damage, supporting skin in real-time and long after exposure. Turmeric and ginger root calm inflammation, brighten tone, and protect against oxidative stress, while spirulina maxima extract offers rare blue light defense and DNA repair support through the photolyase enzyme. Carnosine, a potent antioxidant dipeptide, works to slow photoaging and reduce redness, while sodium hyaluronate keeps skin hydrated and plump without the chalky, drying feel of traditional mineral SPF. This reef safe, advanced emulsion absorbs weightlessly and helps address all forms of light-induced skin damage while actively fighting free radicals, mitigating oxidative stress, and repairing cells...making it a vital daily step in preserving skin vitality, preventing premature aging, and restoring the skin’s natural balance.

Apply every morning. Use liberally on face / neck / chest 15 minutes before sun exposure. Blend evenly into skin (note: may take 1-2 minutes to absorb / become colorless). For best application, layer over serum(s) + oil as the last step of your AM regimen. Water resistant for up to 40 minutes. Reapply at least every 2 hours, more often when swimming or sweating.
Note on Opening: For best results, upon initial opening, hold the tube upright and use the back of the cap to puncture the seal. Holding the tube in an upright position helps regulate pressure to better control the amount of product dispersed.
*Children under 6 months: consult a physician.
SUN PROTECTION MEASURES
Spending time in the sun increases your risk of skin cancer and early skin aging. To decrease risk, regularly use a Broad Spectrum SPF of 15 or higher and other sun protection measures including:
• Limit time in the sun, especially from 10am-2pm
• Wear long-sleeved shirts, pants, hats, and sunglasses
Founded in Berkeley, California in 2002, Marie Veronique is a pioneering voice in clean, microbiome-friendly skincare: crafting small-batch, science-forward formulas that honor the skin’s innate intelligence. With a deep respect for biology, their ethos is rooted in the belief that skin doesn’t need fixing...it needs support. Each creation is the result of rigorous research and cross-disciplinary wisdom, drawing from biomedicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and holistic health to create topicals that are not only effective but profoundly thoughtful. Co-founded by chemist Marie Veronique Nadeau and guided by a mission to tell the truth in an industry riddled with misinformation, the brand has become a trusted leader among estheticians, practitioners, and conscious consumers alike. Sustainability and integrity are central to their practice - from glass bottles and reduced packaging to long-standing partnerships with like-minded suppliers. Every product reflects their dedication to the health of both skin and planet. Female-founded and led, the team behind Marie Veronique includes skin health educator Kristina Holey and visionary co-founder Kristy-Moore Jeffress, who together continue to shift the paradigm toward skincare that is ethical, effective, and radically honest.
