THE IMPORTANCE OF VITAMIN D
Vitamin D is found in different forms in our body and is essential for health in general and for the skin in particular. There are two main forms: D3 (cholecalciferol), which is synthesized in the skin during exposure to UVB rays and D2 (ergocalciferol), obtained through a balanced diet. Vitamin D is vital for several metabolic processes: absorption of calcium and phosphorus, maintenance of cardiovascular and thyroid health, and control of dysfunctions such as infections and inflammation. When vitamin D levels are insufficient, it can trigger deficits in bone metabolism and other diseases such as diabetes, hypertension and skin problems.
Smart Sun Protection®, Collistar's innovative formula that maximizes the positive effect of sunlight by preventing photoaging. This innovation guarantees protection against solar erythema, wrinkles and skin ageing. It not only tans, but also triggers a series of physiological processes essential for physical and psychological well-being. The genius of Smart Sun Protection® lies in the ratio of filters for the two types of sun rays, managing to maintain the protective capacity without inhibiting the production of vitamin D. By changing the ratio of filters, we can increase the production of this vital vitamin and increase UVA protection.
Smart Sun Protection® filters are adjusted for different light frequencies. In addition to their incredible ability to regulate the ratio between UVA and UVB rays, the formula also includes specific filters for blue light - the radiation responsible for photoaging - and IR filters to protect against thermal shock from infrared rays.
The benefits of sun exposure include improvements in skin conditions such as:
- acne and psoriasis
- production of beta-endorphins which increase our sense of well-being
- circadian rhythm regulation.
ACTIVE INGREDIENTS, CONTROLLED RELEASE
In addition to the filters, Smart Sun Protection® is also formulated with active anti-aging ingredients that include Ectoine, a substance known for its antioxidant properties, cellular DNA protection and wrinkle prevention. The formula completes the treatment action with the innovative Smart Anti-Free Radical Protection. The new system combats oxidative stress and releases the active ingredients only when the skin needs them most, during sun exposure.
The effectiveness of innovative formulas and the protection of state-of-the-art filters for a perfect and safe tan for the skin. Collistar Clean Research® has created a range of sun protection products for hypersensitive skin with a super active ingredient, Sicilian Opuntia (more commonly known as Prickly Pear): rich in flavonoids and vitamins, it has moisturizing, antioxidant and soothing properties. The line is also suitable for children - who should not be exposed to the sun for long periods at the hottest times of the day - and is perfect for protecting the skin at high altitudes.

Cartons were changed and produced only with 100% FSC paper. The design of some packaging has been updated to make it easier to use. To maintain the brand's emphasis on the well-being of our planet, the formulas have been adapted to make them sustainable and coral-friendly*.
*Several scientific studies show that some sunscreens are potentially harmful to corals and their habitat because their components end up in the sea. Some of them (Ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate and Benzophenone-3) were banned from cosmetics in the State of Hawaii in 2018 and other nature reserves around the world are starting to do the same. By removing these substances and maintaining or improving their sunscreens, Collistar claims that the Sun Care range is 100% Coral Friendly.
