About the Brand
Brand logo
Founded in 2018 in Modena by Ilenia Gebennini and Alberto Giacobazzi, Darling set out to make sunscreen desirable and effortless. Blending Italian design with skincare-level nourishment and advanced UV protection, the brand delivers high-performance formulas with a seamless, non-greasy finish. This approach turned SPF into a cult-status ritual celebrated worldwide.

We love Darling for reimagining sun protection as skincare. Powered by advanced chemical filters, their formulas glide on seamlessly, leaving a silky texture and a natural, healthy glow that feels like a second skin. These next-generation filters also provide high, stable protection, making Darling not only effective but also beautifully wearable every day. Unlike traditional sunscreens, it delivers protection you’ll actually want to wear.

Darling is powered by next-generation chemical filters, including Uvinul T150, Uvinul A Plus, and Tinosorb S. These advanced actives convert UV rays into heat, delivering stable, broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB damage. Lightweight and sheer, they blend seamlessly into the skin and are suitable for even sensitive types. Non-irritating and environmentally friendly, these filters make Darling’s suncare both high-performing and effortlessly wearable.

UV Next-Gen Filters (Chemical Filters)

Chemical sunscreens provide comprehensive protection against UVA and UVB rays by converting UV radiation into heat, preventing it from penetrating your skin. Next-Gen filters like Uvinul T150, Uvinul A Plus, and Tinosorb S are known for their exceptional stability and broad-spectrum protection, making them perfect for all skin types, including sensitive skin. These filters are also environmentally friendly and non-irritating.

Broad-spectrum protection is crucial for maintaining healthy, resilient skin and slowing down the ageing process. UVA rays penetrate deep into the skin, causing premature ageing, while UVB rays cause sunburn and damage the skin barrier. Unlike physical sunscreens that sit on the skin's surface and reflect UV rays, chemical sunscreens offer a lightweight, invisible finish, making them ideal for daily use and layering under makeup.

Soothing

When your skin is sensitive or weakened due to genetics, skin conditions, using incorrect skincare products, or harsh weather, it needs extra care to repair and strengthening. Soothing ingredients with anti-inflammatory properties can reduce redness and irritation while strengthening the skin barrier, making it more resilient and protected against external aggressors.

Hydrating

Hydration is all about the water content in your skin that keeps it supple and healthy. Humectants, ingredients with water-binding properties, deliver this hydration by attracting water molecules from the atmosphere. For the best results, apply hydrating serums right after a shower. Humectants not only replenish your skin's hydration but also enhance its water retention, creating a long-lasting hydration reservoir. Adding humectants like hyaluronic acid to your routine will restore your skin's healthy glow, minimize fine lines, and provide a plumping effect.

Softening

Skin softening transforms rough, dry, and uneven skin into a smoother, softer complexion by boosting hydration and nourishment. Increased hydration restores your skin's suppleness, while nourishing actives like lipids strengthen the skin barrier, smoothing out the dry surface and enhancing moisture retention. The result is silky soft, revitalised skin that looks and feels wonderfully smooth.

Nourishing

Nourishing body care delivers deep comfort and softness through rich, replenishing textures. Formulated with oils, ceramides, and barrier-strengthening ingredients, these treatments restore essential lipids and hydration to improve resilience and suppleness. They instantly soothe dryness, smooth rough texture, and leave your skin feeling nurtured, calm, and visibly healthier. Well-nourished skin is more radiant, less reactive, and beautifully soft to the touch.

Jojoba Oil

Jojoba Oil has a similar oil composition to human sebum (oil) This similarity allows it to replenish the hydro-lipidic film and regulate sebum overproduction, without clogging pores or creating a greasy feel. When applied to the skin, Jojoba Oil can trick the skin into thinking it has produced enough oil, thereby reducing excessive oil production. Additionally, it has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, making it ideal for congested, oily, and blemish-prone skin.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is a powerful oil-soluble antioxidant renowned for its excellent skin-protecting and replenishing properties. It helps prevent premature ageing by safeguarding skin cell membranes from damaging free radicals. Its nourishing qualities strengthen the skin barrier, enhancing resilience against environmental aggressors and improving water retention by reducing trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL). Additionally, Vitamin E has soothing effect thanks to it anti-inflammatory properties.

Apricot Kernel Oil

Apricot kernel oil is used in skincare for its nourishing, soothing, and protective properties. It effectively restores the skin barrier, reducing water loss and promoting lasting hydration. Its lightweight texture ensures quick absorption, while natural vitamins A and E promote skin cell renewal, offering anti-ageing benefits. This versatile oil is ideal for maintaining smooth, healthy skin and rejuvenated complexion.

They provide broad protection against both UVA and UVB rays with exceptional stability, ensuring prolonged effectiveness under the sun. Designed to be ultra-gentle all skin types, including sensitive and blemish-prone skin.

Spotlight

Next Gen UV Filters

Next-gen UV filters provide broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays, which is crucial for preventing sunburn, premature ageing and skin cancer.
