Retinol. Rewritten.
There was a time when retinol was the only answer.
THE MINERAL CHOICE
For The Solaire Edit™, we chose zinc oxide as our exclusive UV filter.
A broad-spectrum mineral active valued for its photostability, immediate protective performance and exceptional skin compatibility.
Unlike chemical filters, which absorb UV radiation before converting it into heat, zinc oxide works through what is often described as a "mirror effect", creating a mineral veil that helps reflect and scatter a significant portion of incoming UV radiation away from the skin's surface.
This physical mode of action, combined with modern transparent zinc technologies, allows for effective daily photoprotection while maintaining cosmetic elegance and skin comfort.
CHB Transparent Zinc Technology™
For years, white cast was accepted as the price of mineral protection.
We never believed it had to be.
CHB Transparent Zinc Technology™ was developed to preserve the broad-spectrum benefits of zinc oxide while dramatically improving transparency and wearability.
The result is a new generation of mineral photoprotection designed to disappear into the skin, not sit on top of it.
CHB SOLAIRE DEFENSE COMPLEX™ Supporting Skin During Sun Exposure
Sun exposure affects more than the skin's surface.
Long before visible redness appears, environmental and solar stress can influence hydration levels, barrier function, skin comfort, radiance and the biological processes associated with premature skin aging.
CHB Solaire Defense Complex™ combines Pearl Powder, Prickly Pear, Rosehip, Carrot, Papaya and Vitamin E to help support skin comfort, resilience and visible vitality throughout sun exposure.
A formula designed not only to protect the skin from the sun, but to help preserve its beauty while enjoying it.
THE LUMINANCE SOLEIL™ EDIT.
Extra Haute Protection Solaire Roll-On Oil
Luminance Soleil™ is our high-protection mineral roll-on designed for precise, effortless application whenever and wherever the skin needs it most.
A modern approach to photoprotection that transforms reapplication into a simple daily gesture.
Because the areas we forget today are often the areas that reveal age tomorrow.
Why an Oil Format?
Sun exposure doesn't only affect collagen.
Over time, it can also deplete the skin's natural lipid reserves — the very elements responsible for comfort, softness and resilience.
For this reason, Luminance Soleil™ was developed as a protective oil rather than a traditional sunscreen texture.
Its nutrient-rich formula combines broad-spectrum mineral protection with barrier-supportive lipids and the CHB Solaire Defense Complex™, helping to protect while nourishing the skin throughout exposure.
A formula where protection meets replenishment.
Clinical Evidence
Ceramide-Like Biomimetic Lipids
Selected for their ability to mimic the skin's natural lipid architecture while providing exceptional oxidative stability, these advanced biomimetic lipids help support barrier integrity throughout sun exposure.
Observed benefits include:
- Reduced transepidermal water loss (TEWL)
- Improved barrier recovery
- Enhanced skin conditioning
- Greater oxidative stability
- Long-lasting comfort
A “second skin” effect that helps preserve softness and resilience.
Coenzyme Q10
Coenzyme Q10 was selected for its unique role at the intersection of antioxidant defense and cellular energy production.
A naturally occurring molecule found within the skin, Q10 helps support cellular vitality while defending against the oxidative stress associated with environmental exposure and photoaging.
Clinical observations have associated Coenzyme Q10 with:
- Support of mitochondrial function
- Enhanced antioxidant protection
- Reduction of oxidative stress markers
- Improved wrinkle appearance
- Support against visible signs of photoaging
- Increased cellular resilience over time
Carnosic Acid + Tocopherols
Selected for their complementary role in antioxidant defense and lipid protection during sun exposure, Carnosic Acid and Tocopherols help support the skin against the oxidative stress generated by daily UV and environmental exposure.
Together, they work to neutralise reactive oxygen species (ROS), preserve lipid integrity and help defend the skin's natural protective barrier from the processes associated with photoaging.
Observed benefits include:
- Reduced UVA-induced ROS formation
- Enhanced antioxidant protection
- Improved lipid stability
- Protection against lipid peroxidation
- Support for both skin and formula stability
Clinical evaluation demonstrated a 26% reduction in UVA-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) and up to a 207% increase in resistance to lipid oxidation, reinforcing the skin's ability to withstand oxidative stress during sun exposure.
