Science Behind the Formula

Zinc Oxide

Broad Spectrum Mineral Protection

Science: A non-nano, non-chemical mineral sunscreen agent that sits on the skin's surface and physically reflects both UVA and UVB rays. Because the particles are non-nano in size, they do not penetrate the skin barrier.

Benefit: Provides reliable broad spectrum SPF 30 protection without chemical UV filters, leaving skin shielded and comfortable without a white cast or heavy residue.

Vitamin C+E

Brightens and Defends Skin

Science: 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid is a stabilized, oil-soluble form of vitamin C that resists oxidation and delivers more reliably into the skin than traditional ascorbic acid. Tocopherol (vitamin E) works synergistically alongside it, helping to extend its antioxidant activity.

Benefit: Helps support a brighter, more even-looking complexion while defending the skin's surface against free radical damage caused by UV exposure and environmental stressors.

Algae Extracts

Supports Skin Against Environmental Stress

Science: A blend of marine-derived extracts including Spirulina Maxima, a nutrient-rich microalgae, and Lithothamnion Calcareum, a calcified red algae known for its mineral content. Together they provide antioxidant support and help reinforce the skin's resilience.

Benefit: Helps combat the visible effects of environmental stress, supporting a healthier, more balanced-looking complexion over time.

    Easy to use every morning

    I have been using the Kipi cleanser for months and it has become one of my favorite parts of my day, so I was excited to see the day cream was available (and the night cream, too). I’ve only used it for a week, but I’m liking it a lot so far. It smells amazing, the tint blends in well, and it feels much lighter than other sunscreens I’ve tried. It is easy to put on after washing my face and then get on with my day.

    Three face care

    tried a three-stepskincare set from Kipi, including a cleanser, night cream, and daily SPF cream, and I’m really impressed with the results. The cleanser gently removes dirt and makeup without drying the skin, leaving it soft and refreshed. The night cream feels rich and nourishing, and with regular use it has made my skin smoother, more even in tone, and well-hydrated by morning. The daily SPF cream is lightweight, absorbs quickly, and works well under makeup while protecting the skin without greasiness. Overall, using the full routine has left my skin clearer, more radiant, and noticeably healthier, making it a simple but very effective skincare system I would definitely recommend.

    It’s the future.

    It goes on smooth, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t leave that greasy or heavy feeling that a lot of creams do. It feels lightweight on my skin and gives great protection, especially when I’m outside for long periods of time. I also really appreciate that it doesn’t leave a noticeable white cast.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What kind of sunscreen is used in the Tinted Day Cream?

The Tinted Day Cream uses zinc oxide, a mineral sunscreen active, at 10%. Zinc oxide helps provide broad spectrum UV protection. It is non-nano and free of oxybenzone, octinoxate, and other chemical UV filters.

2. Will this leave a white cast on my skin?

No. The formula is tinted and designed to blend naturally without leaving a white residue. Mineral sunscreens can sometimes appear chalky, but the tint in this formula is included to offset that effect and provide a more natural-looking finish across a range of skin tones.

3. Can I use this every day?

Yes. The Tinted Day Cream is formulated for daily daytime use on the face, neck, and back of hands. Apply generously at least 15 minutes before sun exposure and reapply at least every 2 hours, or after swimming or sweating, as directed on the label.

4. Does this replace my moisturizer?

Yes, for most people. Zinc oxide helps provide mineral SPF protection, while glycerin, hyaluronic acid, panthenol, ectoin, mannitol, and sucrose help keep skin feeling hydrated. Olive-derived emollients, lecithin, and other lightweight skin-softeners help the formula feel smooth and comfortable throughout the day. If your skin is very dry, you may still prefer to use a separate moisturizer underneath.

5. Is this suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes. The formula uses mineral zinc oxide rather than chemical sunscreen actives, which some people may prefer. It is formulated for all skin types, including sensitive skin. As with any new product, we recommend patch testing before full use.

6. Can I wear this under makeup?

Yes. The lightweight tinted formula is designed to absorb without heaviness and works well as a base under makeup. Allow a moment for it to settle before applying foundation or other products on top.

7. How does this work with the Regen Night Cream?

The two products are designed to complement each other as a simplified daily routine. The Regen Night Cream supports skin overnight with a retinoid, peptides, and ceramides. The Tinted Day Cream protects and hydrates during the day. Because retinoids can increase skin sensitivity to UV exposure, daily SPF use is especially important when using the Night Cream.

8. What results can I expect with consistent use?

With daily use, skin should feel more hydrated and protected from UV exposure. Over time, antioxidant ingredients including vitamin C, vitamin E, and Spirulina Maxima Extract help support a brighter, more even-looking complexion and help defend against the visible effects of environmental stress.

9. How quickly will I see results?

SPF protection starts with the first application when used as directed. Visible improvements in skin tone and texture from the antioxidant and hydrating ingredients typically develop with consistent daily use over 4 weeks or more. Results will vary depending on skin type and starting condition.
