DARLING Sun Care, Where Style Meets Substance

DARLING Sun Care, Where Style Meets Substance

/ By Natalie Kingsley-Fieldgrass

In time for our long-awaited summer, we’ve brought a covetable collection from DARLING to our curated range at Embassy of Beauty. This vegan premium sun care brand transforms the experience of applying sunscreen from a necessity to a luxurious ritual through nourishing ingredients, next-gen UV filters, and a playful yet sleek aesthetic. 

DARLING was founded by Alberto Giacobazzi and Ilenia Gebennini in 2018, two young Italian entrepreneurs with a common obsession for the beauty industry and a clear vision of what the market was missing: a game-changing premium sun care brand to redefine SPF products. 

As a result, the brand exudes a fitting sense of Italian glamour and sensuality using luxurious textures and DARLING’s signature fragrance, Monoi de Tahiti. The subtle and sophisticated notes of Coconut, Tiaré and Monoi adapt to your skin’s pH for a unique scent reminiscent of the sun-soaked tropics, adding yet another dimension to the experience.

 

 

Next-Gen UV Filters: Advanced Protection for Your Skin 

DARLING uses a combination of chemical and mineral filters to provide superior protection against harmful UVA and UVB rays without compromising on texture. This allows for ultra-lightweight, non-greasy and invisible formulas that you can rely on for protection against sunburn while preventing signs of premature ageing like dark spots and wrinkles. 
Whether you’re applying BOOST-ME for instant hydration that prepares your skin for a sun kissed glow or PROTECT-ME for daily UV defence, you’ll enjoy a silky, smooth finish that feels indulgent and a world away from any mainstream sticky, thick lotions you’ve used before. 

Antioxidant-Packed Formulas: Nourish While You Protect 

GLOWY SCREEN SPF 50+ for face and PROTECT-ME face and body lotions are enriched with Vitamin E amongst other powerful antioxidants. This vital ingredient helps to neutralise free radicals generated by sun exposure, preventing cellular damage and maintaining your skin’s health and vitality. Vitamin E is known for its ability to support the skin’s natural barrier, keeping it hydrated and resilient. 
By marrying sun care and skincare, you can pack light for your next holiday, streamline your beauty routine and rest assured that you’ll leave your sun lounger with more radiant skin day after day. 

Kind to Your Skin, Kind to Our Planet 

While some sunscreens contain chemicals that are harmful to marine life, DARLING’s formulas are reef-safe and respect marine biodiversity. 
Plus, all of DARLING’s eye-catching packaging is 100% recyclable, while they never test on animals or use suppliers who test on their behalf. Plus, their products are vegan, cruelty-free, dermatologically tested, paraben-free and nickel-free. 
At Embassy of Beauty, we're thrilled to offer you a sun care brand that marries style with substance. By upgrading your SPF to DARLING, you're not just choosing superior protection; you're giving your body the same care that you give your face, resulting in youthful, resilient and radiant skin from top to toe. 

Introducing our DARLING Edit

BOOST-ME: This hydrating booster can be used before SPF to enhance a natural, deep and long-lasting tan. Enriched with Isochrysis Galbana Extract (a sustainably sourced microalgae) to accelerate melanin production, nourishing Shea Butter and protective Aloe Vera, your skin will be primed for a holiday glow. 

PROTECT-ME SPF 30 + 50: Available in both SPF 30 and SPF 50, these sunscreens provide robust protection against UV rays. They are ideal for everyday use, ensuring your skin stays protected no matter the conditions. 

SCREEN-ME SPF 30 + 50: These high-performance sunscreens are designed to elevate your getaway essentials in line with your wardrobe. With options in SPF 30 and SPF 50, they offer reliable protection while keeping your skin feeling light and breathable.
 
GLOWY SCREEN SPF 50+: For those who crave a radiant complexion, GLOWY SCREEN delivers. It provides sun protection while imparting a luminous finish, perfect for achieving that coveted sun-kissed look. 

MILKY HAIR SCREEN: Sun-damaged hair can look dull, dry and brittle. This non-greasy protecting and conditioning spray shields your locks from UV damage and heat styling up to 230°C, keeping lengths healthy, shiny, and beautiful all summer long. 

SOOTHE-ME: Silky and fast-absorbing, this aftersun uses a conditioning cocktail of skin-soothing ingredients to rehydrate, cool and nourish tight, sun-exposed skin. The decadent rose gold packaging ensures it deserves a spot on your vanity, where it will serve as a reminder to apply after sunset.
