You Heard It Here First
Founder Sophie Bai, an MIT and Harvard-educated scientist, chats with Bustle.
Most mineralsunscreens still left a white cast on her darker skin tone.
So she decided to create one herself.
Its a nano-diamond augmented zinc oxide, Bai explains.
To fully understand how innovative Pavises DiamondCore Shield Technology is, we have to get science-y.
In fact, theyredirectly linked to skin cancer and aging.
So your skin cells are experiencing a certain degree ofdamage whether or not youre wearing sunscreen.
But DiamondCore actually traps the ROS that hit your skin.
Thats the most breakthrough thing about our technology, says Bai.
And yes, DiamondCore actually involves diamonds.
For moisture, its gotargan seed oil,squalane, and soothing bisabolol.
With one to two pumps, youve got your serum, face cream, and (invisible!)
sun protection taken care of.
Theyre glossy, lightweight, and come in three super flattering shades.
Overall, Bai is excited to bring change to the wide world of sunscreens.
With regulations, its really hard to create innovations in this field, she tells Bustle.
My goal is to truly change peoples lives who have skin cancer or a family history of skin cancer.
