Our mission at Saltee is to “create the best suncare range in the world” and as a young brand that means combining the very best in sustainable ingredients with a rigorous and science led approach to formulation.
In our formulations, we pair ingredients that act as stabilisers to prevent them from breaking down in the sun. This ensures that our UV filters remains effective in providing sun protection and cannot be toxic to the natural world.
Our first Saltee products took many months to formulate and were reviewed, updated and reformulated many times before our Founders Sam and Patrick were happy that they were:
- The lightest, fastest absorbing products
- Brought skincare benefits as well as suncare protection
- Met exacting ESG standards and
- Perfect for all skin types and skin tones.
Here we delve into the incredible ingredients that the Saltee team have worked into their products to make them so innovative.
Venuceane TM
A hero of our Saltee Face SPF range. Venuceane is a natural ingredient that is sourced from thermal ocean vents in the Caribbean. Rarely found in suncare, this hero ingredient offers not only UV protection, but is also highly efficient against Infrared (IR)-Ageing.
Saltee is committed to investing in “next-generation innovation” to fight against sun damage and photo-ageing. Venuceane ensures that our Sea & Sun Formula product has pro-ageing benefits and works to counter photo-damage to the face.
You now have some of the secrets of why Saltee face SPF products have a lightness of texture that is so different to any other face suncare range.
MelinOil TM
Melinoil is a critical ingredient in a number of Saltee products. The scientific properties of MelinOIL – the liposoluble form of a biomimetic peptide – are so important to the Saltee product story.
Melinoil stimulates the natural skin sun defense system in order to better protect cells from UV damage and premature aging. This makes Melinoil the perfect ingredient to complete the efficacy of our sun filters and protect skin from photoaging from within.
In our SPF body products MelinOIL delays the appearance of sun-induced redness and is anti- inflammatory with a soothing action.
This is the formulation narrative that sees so many Saltee customers loving the way in which Sea & Sun Lotion can boost your natural glow for a sun-kissed look when away on holidays and travel adventures.
Black Ginger Extract
Black Ginger is a naturally derived extract that features as a hero in Saltee City Serum SPF+.
Our inclusion of Black Ginger in face City Serum helps to naturally enhance the body’s own melanin production. Thai black ginger has been shown to rejuvenate ageing skin.
High in antioxidants, Black Ginger counteracts photo-damage and provides pro-ageing benefits.
Black ginger extract will also boost the regeneration of skin cells to help counter the effects of sun damage. Little wonder that the innovative nature of City Serum SPF+ has users making it the final step in their daily skincare routine.
