Sophie Bai, a scientist with degrees from MIT and Harvard, spent years searching for a sunscreen product that would effectively shield her skin from harmful UV rays without exacerbating her eczema or causing a white cast on her darker skin tone. Dissatisfied with the options available on the market, she decided to develop her own. Fast forward to today, and Bai’s line of sunscreen products, Pavise, is finally available to the public.
Pavise’s patented DiamondCore Shield Technology sets the brand apart from its competitors. A form of zinc oxide, this nano-diamond augmented filter not only protects against UV exposure but also combats ROS (reactive oxygen species), which are directly linked to skin cancer and aging. Traditional sunscreens protect the skin by either absorbing UV rays or using chemical or physical filters, which generate ROS once exposed to the sun. On the other hand, Pavise’s advanced formula traps these reactive species, neutralizing them before they can damage the skin, making it a super-effective choice for sun protection.
In addition to its cutting-edge filter, the Dynamic Age Defense SPF from Pavise’s collection is a three-in-one product offering treatment, moisturization, and SPF in one bottle. With ingredients like niacinamide, tranexamic acid, and astaxanthin, it minimizes hyperpigmentation, brightens the skin, and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Argan seed oil, squalane, and bisabolol offer hydration, making it an ideal option for those who want to streamline their skincare regimen without sacrificing efficacy.
Pavise also offers Lip Defense SPF lip oils, which come in three pigmented shades and offer broad-spectrum mineral SPF 30 protection as well as hydration to keep lips soft and healthy. Finally, the Gentle Amino Powerwash is a facial cleanser that dissolves debris, oil, makeup, and sunscreen while being gentle on the skin. With a gel-like texture featuring squalane, amino acids, and glycolic acid, it helps to clear pores and promote hydration.
To further protect consumers from sun damage, Pavise also offers a UV Camera that attaches to your phone and helps to detect sunscreen application deficiencies. Sun damage is a serious issue, as one in five Americans will develop skin cancer by age 70. With her team of scientists, Bai hopes to continue innovating and creating products that change how we approach sun care and skin cancer prevention.
Pavise’s focus on protecting and nourishing the skin while providing effective sun protection makes it a standout brand in the beauty industry. As Bai puts it, “we want to create products that change how we care for and treat our skin and ultimately end skin cancer.” With DiamondCore Shield Technology leading the charge, Pavise is well on its way to reaching this goal.
