In our tech-savvy world, screens have become an indispensable part of our lives. From work calls and screen time to binge-watching our favorite shows, our skin is under constant assault from blue light. But is this exposure as harmless as it seems? And is there a blue light sunscreen that offers protection against blue light damage and sun damage without adding another step to our skincare routine? Let's dive in.

Understanding Blue Light and Its Effects

Blue light, also termed as high energy visible light, is emitted by digital devices, LED lighting, and even the sun. It's known to disturb our sleep cycles, but recent studies show it can also accelerate premature skin aging, leading to wrinkles, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation.

Blue Light and Your Skin

Overexposure to blue light can lead to oxidative stress, potentially causing inflammation, DNA damage, and the breakdown of collagen. This can result in signs of premature aging such as fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation.

Nature's Solution: Anthocyanins in Blueberries

Anthocyanins are powerful antioxidants found in blueberries. They've been shown to counteract the damage from blue light exposure, which has shown to increase risk of skin cancer as much as UV light, making them a key ingredient in skincare for those frequently in front of screens. Read more about them below.

Diving Deep into MOOD's Defend Daily Face Sunscreen Serum

In the ever-evolving world of skincare, MOOD's Defend Daily Face Sunscreen Serum emerges as a beacon, especially for those keen on guarding their skin against the relentless exposure to blue light. Let's delve into the meticulously chosen ingredients that make this blue light protection serum a front-runner:

  • Blueberry Seed Oil: More than just a delicious fruit, blueberries are a treasure trove of skincare benefits, primarily due to their rich content of anthocyanins. These powerful antioxidants are responsible for the deep blue hue of blueberries and are known to act as a natural defense against blue light damage. The seed oil, infused with oleic fatty acids and anthocyanins, not only provides a formidable shield against blue light but also nourishes the skin deeply. These fatty acids help lock in essential moisture, ensuring skin that's protected, radiant, and supple.

  • Zinc Oxide: When it comes to shielding skin from the harmful effects of UV rays, few ingredients are as trusted as Zinc Oxide. A mineral sunscreen, it offers broad spectrum SPF protection by acting as a layer on skin, reflecting harmful ultraviolet light and helping protect you from potential sun damage. Unlike titanium dioxide - another popular mineral sunscreen - zinc oxide also offers blue light protection. Coupled with blueberry seed oil, it offers ample protection against blue light emitted by electronic devices.

  • Vitamin C (at 15% concentration): A stalwart in skincare, Vitamin C is lauded for its potent antioxidant properties. But its magic doesn't stop there. This vitamin actively repairs damaged skin cells - including from blue light damage - revitalizing your skin's appearance. Moreover, it's a key player in collagen production, ensuring your skin retains its elasticity and youthful bounce.

  • Broad Spectrum CBD: With an impressive concentration of approximately 33MG of premium, hemp-derived CBD per serving, this ingredient is a game-changer. CBD is known for its calming properties, ensuring that your skin, irrespective of the daily challenges, remains calm, soothed, and resilient.

  • Triple-weighted Hyaluronic Acid: Hyaluronic acid is a skin hydration hero, known for its ability to hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water. But what sets Defend apart is its use of triple-weighted hyaluronic acid. This means it has three molecular weights of hyaluronic acid, targeting different layers of the skin. The low molecular weight penetrates deeper layers, ensuring deep hydration, while the medium and high molecular weights offer surface-level hydration and help in forming a protective barrier. The combined effect ensures skin that's deeply moisturized, plump, and shielded against environmental stressors.

Why Choose MOOD Defend Daily Sunscreen

Apart from its potent ingredient list that protects against light damage, what sets DEFEND apart is its sheer versatility. Unlike many mineral sunscreens, it goes on clear and is suitable for all skin tones and types, including sensitive skin and acne-prone in skin tone. Moreover, it seamlessly blends nourishment, hydration, and protection, streamlining your skincare routine.

What Skin Experts Have to Say

DEFEND is trusted by consumers and skin experts, who recommend it to their patients as an easy way to remember their daily SPF, without adding a step to their skincare routines.

Skin care expert: "DEFEND has made it much easier because my patients LOVE putting it on. It's more than just a sunscreen; it's a skincare treat."
