Product description
Product code: 45459227
Daily anti-pollution and anti-pigmentation targeted formula with very high UV protection. The perfect lightweight multi-tasking city solution.
Ultrasun has upped the ante in the fight against premature ageing and pigmentation, with this highly defensive formula. It provides very high protection (UVA 95% and UVB 50+) and an effective shield from environmental aggressors.
The Face Fluid formula has been given an increased percentage boost of active Ectoin, the hero ingredient that has always been present in all Ultrasun face formulas. In this Face Fluid formula, an extra 43% of Ectoin has been added to specifically address the intensity of city environmental aggressors for those living and working in major urban centres. This increase boosts the ingredient’s already documented efficacy in pollution protection alongside its many overall skincare benefits.
Ectoin is a revolutionary and rare natural enzyme that protects the skin from the effects of UVA-induced damage to prevent UVA-induced premature photo ageing. It is known for its anti-inflammatory and hydrating benefits as well as its contribution in limiting the impact of HEV (blue light).
The fast-absorbing, extremely light and non-greasy, fluid-like texture makes it ideal as a make-up primer, delivering potent protection as part of an effective daily skincare routine. Free from emulsifiers, perfumes and preservatives, and kind to sensitive skins.

- Care instructions
- Apply generously to clean, dry skin 15-30 mins before sun exposure. Any less radically reduces the protection effect. Even sun protection with high SPF does not grant full protection. Generally one application is sufficient but consider another application after extensive swimming. Avoid contact with clothing as direct contact may stain. Avoid contact with the eyes.

How to use
Brand information
Ultrasun was originally founded by Tazio Tettamanti in 1992, a Swiss chemist whose brother had been a victim of skin cancer. He was determined to make a difference by combining his own life experience with his brilliant expertise as a chemist. We all know the health risks of the sun but so many people choose not to protect, and he wanted to find a way to make that crucial choice easier for them. That was the inspiration, and it remains the ethos and driving force behind the Ultrasun brand today.
With 25 years in skin protection expertise, Swiss sun care brand Ultrasun delivers a unique and revolutionary formulation. Ultrasun is known for its photostable, once-a-day application, it’s patented liposome technology ensures just one application will give long lasting, high level, protection from UVA (ageing), UVB (burning) and infrared A rays.
Each Ultrasun product is hypo-allergenic, free from emulsifiers, and perfume reducing the risk of allergy, making them especially suitable for children, and those with sensitive skin. Easy to apply, the non-greasy formulas offer protection even after swimming, towel drying and sweating
Ultrasun helps to prevent prickly heat and premature ageing of the skin whilst allowing a natural tan to develop. With a superior shelf life of two years after opening the Ultrasun range is designed to meet specific needs of varied lifestyles: Family, Sport, Extreme, Face, Glimmer & Extra Care making the whole range ideal for everyone in the family including dads, lads, tots, teenagers and busy mums.
