This sunscreen spray, favored by influencers, has truly impressed us. Let’s take a closer look at this beauty gesture that’s as pleasant as it is essential.
The reality of blue light
Blue light? It’s a topic we hear about everywhere, particularly in relation to our screens. It’s a fascinating subject, but we often associate it primarily with visual comfort and sleep. What many people may not realize is that the biggest source of blue light isn’t our smartphones; it’s the sun itself.
Even more astonishing is the revelation from Clara Nentille, founder of Substance of Light, in a recent interview: “More than 25% of cellular damage due to exposure is caused by this solar blue light.”
It penetrates the skin more deeply than UV rays, leading to oxidative stress, premature aging, and even hyperpigmentation—especially in medium to dark skin tones, which are particularly sensitive to it.
Blue light: why we can no longer ignore it
We often connect blue light with eye fatigue, sleep disturbances, or migraines. However, its effects on our skin are equally concerning: early wrinkles, loss of elasticity, dullness, and notably, long-lasting hyperpigmentation.
One particularly striking statistic shared by Clara Nentille is that “64 days spent in front of a screen (without protection) is equivalent to 1 hour in the August sun without sunscreen.”
This issue isn’t just about sunburn; it’s about cumulative oxidative stress. If we’re not careful, we can expect wrinkles, spots, and weakened skin.
True filter: the go-to shield spray for informed women
This is where I discovered TRUE FILTER, the solar care mist from the French brand Substance of Light.
Its goal is to provide daily protection against UV rays, blue light, and pollution, all without sacrificing sensory pleasure or aesthetic appeal.
Clean, effective, and enjoyable to use, this mist contains niacinamide, vitamins C and E, and butterfly tree extract, known for its protective properties against blue light.
There are no nanoparticle ingredients, no aerosols, and no endocrine disruptors—all formulated with sensitive skin in mind, even safe for pregnant women.
My take: makeup friendly and glowy perfection!
I incorporated this mist into my routine a few weeks ago, and I’m already hooked. I use it every morning after my makeup, applying it as a protective veil.
There’s no white cast, no greasy residue, and importantly, it doesn’t disturb my makeup. It leaves my skin looking glowy just the right amount, like a subtle natural light.
I keep it in my bag and reapply before outdoor meetings, terrace lunches, or sunny strolls. Its portable format is perfect for discreet touch-ups!
The growing success of substance of light
Since its notable appearance on the show Who Wants to Be My Partner?, this mist has been flying off the shelves. A meteoric success, occurring just one year after the brand’s launch, highlights how essential comprehensive protection has become. The good news? A restock is expected by mid-May, but in very limited quantities. In other words, if you want to try it, stay alert!
If you’re looking for a sunscreen that you’ll genuinely enjoy using instead of just enduring, this is definitely the one. It’s a real modern beauty gesture, designed for urban life, demanding skin, and hassle-free routines.
