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.

The Benefits

  • - + Nourishing
  • - + Antioxidant
  • - + Soothing
  • - + Complexion-Unifying (Anti-Blotchiness)
  • - + Hydrating
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.

Antioxidant

Antioxidant Protection shields your skin and preserves its youthful glow. It refers to a defence system that protects against harmful molecules and keeps your complexion healthy and radiant. Free radicals, those incredibly reactive molecules, come from everyday sources like sunlight, diet, smoking, and pollution. They attack healthy cells, accelerating skin ageing, causing wrinkles, loss of firmness, pigmentation, and dullness. Incorporating antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E, into your routine creates a protective shield on your skin. These powerful ingredients neutralise free radicals, preventing them from causing damage. The result is skin that stays youthful, firm, and luminous.

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.

Complexion-Unifying (Anti-Blotchiness)

Evening skin tone is all about reducing blotchiness and achieving a more uniform complexion. Skincare products designed for this purpose use a blend of active ingredients, including soothing agents, anti-pigmentation compounds, antioxidants, and skin-restoring elements. These ingredients work together to diminish redness, inflammation, and pigment irregularities caused by inflammation, while also strengthening and protecting your skin against environmental irritants and future damage. This promotes healing and resilience, leaving your skin more balanced, radiant, and beautiful.

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.
