About saint solaire
our standards & Skin Science
At Saint Solaire Skincare, our mission is to simplify skincare by harnessing the potent ingredients that Mother Nature provides while employing scientific advancements to enhance their efficacy. We’re committed to preventing damage from harmful chemical ingredients that can disrupt endocrine systems and harm marine life.
For 15 years, we have meticulously studied zinc oxides and natural ingredients. We are proud to introduce the first sunscreen in the USA that meets rigorous global standards. Our UVA/UVB balanced formula allows you to enjoy the benefits of sunlight while providing strong protection against harmful rays. Our unique formulations reverse the effects of photodamaged skin, are free from harmful chemicals, and are marine-friendly. We uphold the “Leave No Trace” principle, promoting sustainability and eco-friendliness along every step of our production process.
Eco-consciousness drives everything we do at Saint Solaire. We adhere to rigorous standards to minimize our environmental footprint and protect the planet’s health. This includes assessing the impact of our practices on aquatic life, evaluating long-term water ecosystem effects, and analyzing solvent toxicity.
Our ingredients are chosen for their biodegradability, and we carefully examine their influence on hormonal systems in humans and the environment. We also evaluate impacts on land ecosystems and sediment organisms to safeguard natural balance. Every step reflects our unwavering commitment to preserving the beauty and integrity of the world around us.

Transparency and Effectiveness
At Saint Solaire, we are committed to transparency in our labeling claims. We utilize high concentrations of UV filters like zinc oxide for exceptional broad-spectrum protection, rather than misleading claims or substitutes. This commitment ensures comprehensive UVA protection, safeguarding your skin from issues such as pigmentation, wrinkles, skin laxity, and even skin cancer.
We do not compromise on UVA protection. Our sunscreen products have passed both FDA and EU compliance tests, and we adhere to stringent EU Nature Commission standard. We recognize that insufficient UVA protection can result in cumulative damage not visible until years later, which is why quality, rigorous testing, and high standards are paramount in our process.
