Short chains of amino acids - signalling molecules for the skin.

Function: Can support resilience and skin structure, ease wrinkles and firm the skin.

Vitamin E

Fat-soluble antioxidant - protects the cell membranes and works synergistically with vitamin C.

Function: Can neutralise free radicals, strengthen the skin barrier and boost the effect of vitamin C.

Green tea

One of the most powerful plant-based antioxidants - contains polyphenols (EGCG) that neutralise free radicals.

Function: Can protect the skin from environmental damage, ease redness and slow skin ageing.

Frequently asked questions

Is primer SPF enough as sun protection?

SPF 20 is sufficient for low everyday exposure. For extended time outdoors or when using retinol, SPF 50+ is recommended. Bronzing Primer is the aesthetic finish step — if you need higher UV protection, use a dedicated SPF 50 as the base beneath it.

Do I need a separate sunscreen when using this primer?

SPF 20 is moderate and is sufficient for brief everyday exposure (commute to work, short errands). For extended outdoor time, sports, or retinol use, SPF 50+ is recommended. You can layer Bronzing Primer over a dedicated SPF 50 — the SPF values do not multiply, but the dedicated SPF 50 provides the main protection.

Does the bronze tone make my face look too dark?

The bronze effect is subtle — a warm base tone, not a bronzer. The whipped texture with the pearlescent finish gives the skin a healthy, sun-kissed glow without looking visibly darker. Suitable for light to dark skin tones.

Can I wear this primer alone, without foundation?

Yes, many use it as a lightly tinted base. The peptides (Palmitoyl Tripeptid-5) provide structure, the SPF protects, and the bronze shimmer gives a natural, fresh appearance — without foundation needed.

How do I combine the primer with my routine?

After your day routine (serums, moisturiser), wait 2 minutes for everything to absorb. Then apply the primer as the last skincare step and let it set for 30 seconds before applying make-up over it or wearing it alone.

About the brand

Colorescience specialises in mineral sunscreen - from tinted fluids and powder brushes through to lip care with SPF. Because the products filter in a purely mineral way, they sit on top of the skin rather than penetrating into it. This makes them particularly well tolerated by sensitive skin or skin prone to redness. Many products combine UV protection with a light tint, so that you take care of skincare and make-up in one step.
