Why we stand behind it
Formulated and manufactured in-house, Marie Veronique has redefined what a sunscreen can do. ColorFree is a non-nano zinc-oxide-only sunscreen designed to address all forms of light-induced skin damage, with no white cast, no greasy finish and the intent to improve, correct, and repair.
It provides safe, broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection while delivering ingredients that improve skin health, visibly calm, even skin tone, and smooth texture. Unlike traditional sunscreens that only shield against UV radiation, ColorFree also protects from High-Energy Visible (HEV) light, aka blue light, emitted by screens, cell phones, and indoor lighting. At night, it continues to work and supports the skin’s natural repair mechanisms. Reducing damage such as cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs), DNA lesions formed during UV exposure that continue to harm skin cells long after sun exposure.
If you've avoided zinc oxide sunscreens because they feel drying, heavy, or emphasize fine lines, ColorFree will change your experience entirely. This innovative formula is rich in emollient ingredients to increase hydration and prevent moisture loss. Leaving the skin looking smoother, more even, and naturally luminous, with a calm, hydrated finish.
Key ingredients
Zinc oxide: (17%) is a physical (mineral) sunscreen agent that provides broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays.
Carnosine: a dipeptide, has antioxidant properties with regard to the peroxyl radical which help prevent photoaging. It also demonstrates a degree of UVB photoprotection when applied.
Turmeric (Curcuma Longa) & Ginger (Zingiber Officinale): Both have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and skin-brightening properties, which may provide additional skin benefits like calming redness or promoting even skin tone.

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.
