Marie Veronique Protective Day Oil
Marie Veronique Protective Day Oil
This Product Is: a facial oil that helps provide UV protection
Good for: all skin types including dry, mature, sensitive, blemish-prone, combination and normal
Why We Love It: Marie Veronique Protective Day Oil provides moisturizing balance with EFA (essential fatty acid) oils. Spectra tests on Protective Day Oil show high levels of UV protection in the long wavelength, UVA range, probably due to its high carotenoid content. Essential fatty acids (EFAs) are crucial to maintaining healthy skin. Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), a type of omega-3 from algae, may help reduce signs of aging by blocking UV-induced enzymes that destroy collagen.
Shake well. Dispense approximately 1/2 dropper and warm between palms. Smooth over face/neck/chest, avoiding eye contour area. Can follow with Everyday Coverage Tinted Sunscreen SPF30 as your final daytime step, rain or shine. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult physician. Keep in a cool, dry place, out of direct light. Use within 6 months of opening.

Essential Oils
Essential OilsAuthentic essential oils are physically extracted by steam or expression (cold pressing) of the skin of the fruit. Essential oils have not been chemically altered (via reaction, solvent extraction) from their natural state. |
Certified Organic Fragrance

Natural Fragrance
Natural FragranceNatural fragrances are mixtures of aromatic raw materials.

If only natural isolates are used, companies can declare the scent “natural.” |
Naturally-Derived Fragrance

Synthetic Fragrance

Synthetic “nature-identical” ingredients fall into this category as well. Credo allows synthetic fragrances as long as there are no Dirty List components. |

What's Behind "Fragrance"?
US law does not require that companies be transparent about the ingredients in fragrance/parfum. Credo believes in your right-to-know. We require all brands to categorize the fragrance in each product (see chart above), and encourage brands to fully disclose all scent ingredients.
All products are cruelty-free and formulated without ingredients on The Dirty List™️. At Credo, "clean" goes even deeper. Learn more.
