I. The quiet erosion

A tattoo doesn't fade
on a beach.
It fades on the way to work.

The pigment that defines your tattoo sits within the dermis — a layer the sun reaches every day, regardless of the weather. UV exposure breaks pigment particles down slowly, microscopically, over years.

Most people only realize their tattoos are fading once the linework has softened, the contrast has flattened, and the depth they paid for is no longer there. By then, the damage is structural.

The most-protected hours are the ones you never thought about.

80% of UV damage occurs
through indirect daily exposure.
5y average time before
noticeable pigment loss.
N°1 cause of tattoo dullness
is the sun, not the artist.
II. Why this formula exists

A sunscreen designed
for the canvas,
not just the skin.

The sunscreen was developed in collaboration with dermatologists, formulators, and tattoo artists working across Palermo, Milan, and Berlin. The brief was singular: a daily SPF that wears like nothing, looks like nothing, and treats the tattoo beneath the surface as the artwork it is.

The result is a featherweight chemical-mineral hybrid that protects ink integrity, supports the skin barrier, and disappears on application — without the chalk, the shine, or the heaviness.

01

SPF 60+ broad spectrum

UVA and UVB protection calibrated for prolonged daily exposure, not occasional beach use.

02

Invisible finish

No white cast on any skin tone. No matte film. No residue on dark or saturated tattoos.

03

Pigment integrity

Antioxidants and barrier lipids reduce the oxidative stress that flattens tattoo contrast over time.

04

Worn under everything

Layers cleanly under fragrance, makeup, and clothing. Reapplies without disturbance.

III. A different brief

Most sunscreens protect skin.
The formula protects what's beneath it.

IV. The invisible exposure

You don't need a beach
to lose a tattoo.

Sunlight reaches your skin through car windows on the commute, through a café window over lunch, on the short walk between meetings. The cumulative dose is significant — and it adds up year after year.

  • The patio at duskUVA continues until sunset.
  • The window seatIndoor proximity to glass is not protection.

VI. Formula notes

A short list,
carefully chosen.

The formula is built around a small set of high-grade actives selected for their performance under daily wear — supporting the skin's barrier and the pigment within it.

01

Niacinamide

Calms the skin barrier, evens tone around healed tattoos, and reinforces resilience against environmental stress.

02

Ceramides

Restore the lipid matrix of the dermis — the same layer that holds tattoo pigment. Hydration without occlusion.

03

Hyaluronic Acid

A low-molecular-weight form draws moisture deeper into the skin, keeping tattoos reading sharp rather than dry and matte.

04

Panthenol

Pro-vitamin B5. Soothes freshly healed work and reduces visible redness during sun exposure.

05

Green Tea Polyphenols

A high-potency antioxidant that helps neutralize the free radicals known to break pigment particles down.

06

Vitamin E

Stabilizes the formula and supports the skin's own defense against oxidative damage. Quietly essential.

"

We were never interested in a sunscreen that performed only at the beach. The work of preserving a tattoo happens on ordinary days, in ordinary light, over a very long time.

A closing thought

Most people protect
their skin.
Few protect their ink.
