Highlights

Suitable for

All skin types including dry, mature, sensitive, blemish-prone, combination, and normal.

Why we stand behind it

This protective day oil provides moisturizing balance with EFA (essential fatty acid) oils, which are crucial to maintaining healthy skin. Also formulated with eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), a type of omega-3 from algae, that may help reduce signs of aging by blocking UV-induced enzymes that destroy collagen.

Spectra tests show high levels of UV protection in the long wavelength, UVA range, probably due to its high carotenoid content.

Key ingredients

Kiwi seed and chia seed oils: Provide hard-to-get omega-3s from plant sources.
Algae oil high in EPA: Moderates inflammation while blocking UV-induced enzymes that destroy collagen.
Olive and sesame seed oils and helichrysum essential oil: An anti-inflammatory.
Pomegranate seed, tomato seed, and broccoli seed oils: Provide special antioxidant protection from carotenoids and sulforaphane (a compound with sun protective properties).
Astaxanthin and red raspberry seed oil: Provide environmental protection because they help absorb UV rays.

What is an undertone?

An undertone is the color beneath the surface of your skin, which never changes (even with a tan). There are three types of undertones:

Pink/Cool

I see red or pink undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin burns easily, but barely tans.
My skin looks better in silver jewelry than gold.

Neutral

I see both pink and yellow undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin sometimes burns and sometimes tans.
My skin looks good in both gold and silver jewelry.

Yellow/Warm

I see yellow or golden undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin rarely burns, but tans easily.
My skin looks better in gold jewelry than silver.

Reviews

A refreshing boost of hydration and protection

"If I had to choose one brand for a desert island, it would be Marie Veronique. The Pure and EO Free Oil Cleanser is the absolute best first cleanse on the planet, no exaggeration, and the Multi Retinol Night Emulsion was the first retinol that my skin could tolerate (and it's powerful stuff, just formulated brilliantly). Over the past two years or so, I have gotten into oils after years of my skin reacting badly to them, so I've added the Protective Day Oil into the mix. It's such a beautiful daily burst of hydration and added protection. I use it either before or as my moisturizer depending on how hot it is outside, how my skin is feeling, etc. , and then layer the Marie Veronique Color Free Zinc on top (another genius invention; it feels like a small coup every time I slather it over my stubble and it disappears within seconds)."

— Joe V. (5/5)

Goes on smoothly

"Small bottle and not sure how it's worth so much more than other oils of the same volume, but it feels nice and goes on smoothly! I couldn't apply the sunscreen without it."

— Bess N. (5/5)

Potent Day Oil, Great Consistency
