Valnel Daytime Protection Moisturizer
Made in our own factory and laboratory in Pine Brook, NJ
Description+
For Balanced or Combination Skin
Pollution, dirt, dry air, whatever the heating is doing to the room you sit in. All of it lands on your face over the course of a day, and the only thing between your skin and any of it is what you put on that morning.
Valnel is very light, and it does two things at once. It holds your own moisture in, and it keeps pollution and dirt off the surface. It doesn't clog pores.
It holds water at the surface through the day, so your skin stays comfortable from morning to night without a top-up.
Chamomile and allantoin calm, arnica and cucumber soothe the look of redness, green tea and vitamin E defend against environmental wear, witch hazel keeps pores looking refined, and cocoa seed extract filters blue light from your phone and screens.
Apply in the morning to clean skin as your last skincare step, massaging up until absorbed, then follow with SPF. In cold or windy weather, or when flying, use two or three layers.
It goes on light enough to wear under makeup, and your skin stays hydrated and protected from the moment you leave the house until you get home.
How to Use+
Apply in the morning to clean skin and massage until completely absorbed. Follow with SPF, then apply makeup as usual. In cold temperatures, windy conditions, or when travelling by air, use 2 to 3 layers to guard against moisture loss.

Our Philosophy
I go about [the formulas] in a very different way than a regular chemist. I always look for what conditions I’d like to correct. I look at what skin types and problems that I want to work with, and then I try to find the best possible ingredients that will work for the skin.
