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.
