SmART SuN PROTECTION®

Smart Sun Protection® is the innovative formula by Collistar that maximizes the positive effect of sunlight while preventing photo-ageing. This pro-Vitamin D filter system activates the health vitamin (fundamental for health in general and the skin in particular) when the product is applied before exposure to the sun, only excluding damaging rays and boosting the benefits of sunlight for the skin’s well-being and beauty. By changing the proportion of filters for the two types of rays (UVA and UVB), this vital vitamin can be produced while safely protecting the skin. Smart Skin protection® is also formulated with innovative Smart Anti-free radical protection. The new system combats oxidative stress by releasing the active ingredients only when the skin needs it most: during exposure to the sun.

The Italian company reinvents sun care

The range

Collistar is a leader in sun care and its characteristics of effectiveness, safety, sensory qualities and fragrance remain the same. The Tanning Moisturizing Milk Spray SPF 10 and 15 have been replaced by SPF 20 and 30, based on the continuing demand for higher protection. The textures have been perfected for improved performance in terms of absorption, comfort after application and greater water resistance. In addition to 100% recycled materials for some containers and 100% FSC boxes, the designs of some bottles has been updated to make them easier to handle and the formulas have been adapted to make them sustainable and coral-friendly. With sensory textures, the products glide over the skin. Silk effect oils, invisible sprays, unguents that perfect the skin, refreshing no-filter waters, light yet comforting spray milks and rich creams for dry skins: there is something for everyone. The final touch is the unique and unmistakable Collistar sun care fragrance; bergamot, freesia, rose, orange blossom and musky base notes… the essence of summer. The Hyper-Sensitive Skin Line comprises products with SPF 50+ and an ultra Soothing After Sun Repair Treatment. The High Protection line has SPF 30 products in cream, milk spray and tanning spray formats. For Medium Protection (SPF 15/SPF 20), there is a choice between a milk spray, a dry oil, a face treatment a tanning spray and cream. The Low Protection, (SPF 6 or 10) products are intensive and supertanning, in a dry oil or moisturizing spray. The three no-filter products can be used alone or on top of a sunscreen, according to individual requirements. For after-sun relief, six products provide tailor-made treatments, never-ending freshness, deep-down hydration and a long-lasting tan. The special treatment range of After-Sun Rebalancing Cream-Shampoo, After-Sun Intensive Restructuring Hair Mask and Protective Oil Spray for Coloured Hair tackles and solves every possible need of hair in the sun.

COLLISTAR: A NEW CLEANSING RANGE

Saying that particular attention should be paid to daily cleansing is nothing new, but recent research has shown that the skin hosts a huge number of microorganisms collectively known as the skin microbiome, which contains two classes of bacteria: “good” symbionts and “harmful” pathobionts. The balance between the two groups guarantees the skin’s wellbeing. To ensure cleansing that is effective and not excessively aggressive, Collistar Clean Research® has designed a solution with a new facial cleansing range of three products that join Gentle Micellar Water in protecting the skin’s barrier and its natural microbiome. The formulas are enriched with a special natural prebiotic, inulin, which “nourishes” and strengthens good bacteria only, helping to support the skin’s barrier. It feeds the skin’s bacterial flora with a beneficial effect on the skin and can be metabolized by good bacteria so that good flora flourishes and the balance of the microbiome is maintained. Two-Phase Make-up Removing Solution removes all types of make-up from eyes and lips, including waterproof, without leaving oily residues. Designed for optimum tolerance, it is enriched with precious active softening ingredients. Brightening Cleansing Foam has a feather-light texture that cleanses the face incredibly gently, leaving skin soft and luminous without any feeling of “tightness”. Designed for optimum tolerance, including for sensitive skins, it is enriched with precious active brightening and soothing ingredients. Cleansing is an imperative at all ages and the Collistar muchloved Anti-Age Cleansing Milk and Anti-Age Toning Lotion have been updated to make the formula even more effective and tolerable, while the texture and unmistakable fragrance remain the same. With Hyaluronic Acid and active anti-age and energizing ingredients, the formulas have been enriched with inulin – a natural prebiotic – to protect the skin’s barrier and its natural microbiome.

Deep Cleansing Gel-Cream is designed to cleanse the face deep down, with a cream-gel texture that purifies the skin without drying it out. Designed for optimum tolerance even for sensitive skins, it is enriched with a special active botanical ingredient to purify and rebalance the skin. The unique texture means it can be used on a wet or dry face, to suit all skin types: from normal to dry and from combination to oily. The new cleansing range comes with a fresh, contemporary new design, as featured on the 100% recycled and recyclable plastic bottled and 70% recycled and recyclable plastic tube. The outer packaging has been eliminated to reduce paper consumption. With every purchase from the cleansing range, as long as stocks last, there is a free gift of a pure bamboo fibre cloth, the perfect addition to the daily facial cleansing ritual. The soft, delicate fabric helps remove make-up and impurities, with a gentle exfoliating action.
