Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Carpe Sweat Absorbing Lasting Matte SPF 30 Primer is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract (est. ≈2.0%) and Tocopherol (est. ≈2.0%).

A key benefit of antioxidants is their ability to reduce oxidative stress caused by free radicals and therefore prevent accelerated skin aging. Studies also show that antioxidants can protect against environmental damage such as UV radiation and pollution, and help reduce inflammation and skin redness.

Skin soothing

Based on the ingredient list analysis, Carpe Sweat Absorbing Lasting Matte SPF 30 Primer is rich (> 5%) in soothing ingredients, particularly Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Extract (est. ≈5.3%) and Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract (est. ≈2.0%).

When applied to the skin, compounds of soothing ingredients, such as triglycerides, phospholipids, fatty acids, phenolic compounds, and antioxidants, work together to soothe the skin through various mechanisms: reducing inflammation, promoting wound healing, repairing the skin barrier, and providing antimicrobial and antioxidant activities.

Sun protection

Carpe Sweat Absorbing Lasting Matte SPF 30 Primer has an SPF of 30 and provides high sun protection. This level of protection is ideal for activities such as spending time at the beach, outdoor sports, or other activities involving prolonged sun exposure. It's important to apply sunscreen generously and reapply every two hours or after swimming or sweating to maintain effectiveness.
