Effects of UV radiation on your skin
UV light is the leading cause of premature skin aging as well as a serious health concern. If we simplify things, we could say UVB is the type of UV that burns your skin, while UVA causes pigment spots and changes in deeper layers of your skin. The effects of both types can be:
- wrinkles
- pigment spots
- "leathery" or "older" looking skin
- loss of collagen and elastin
- redness or dry skin
- more serious changes such as melanoma

Doesn't clog pores and doesn't leave a shiny (oily) cast.
It is unscented (no parfumes or essential oils).
"Will it feel heavy?"
It shouldn't. We understand many UV creams feel thick or heavy ("Like a mask on my face!") and a lot of it has to do with the high amount of UV filters needed for high UV protection. Getting the feel right was a guiding principle when we formulated MINISTRY OF DEFENSE.
Based on user feedback, MINISTRY OF DEFENSE is a light, easily wearable cream – we are confident you will not find it heavy.
"Will it sting my eyes?"
It shouldn't. None of the UV filters used are known to cause eye stinging, nor have we received any such feedback from users.
ALCOHOL-FREE FORMULA
If you are used to alcohol-based formulations, MINISTRY OF DEFENCE is different. It's formulated as a hydrating cream with UV protection. It is alcohol-free.
ALL YEAR PROTECTION
While there's less (but not zero!) UVB radiation during winter or bad weather, UVA doesn't play along the same rules and is always present. It penetrates clouds,windows, fog – and your skin.
We designed MINISTRY OF DEFENCE as a year-round broad spectrum UV protector. Because UV radiation is pretty much the main cause of skin aging and changes on the skin, it makes sense to keep skin protected every day. That's why our formulation has such a high UVA and UVB protection.
