Inside the Formula

Brilliant Defense uses BrightShield Complex™—a blend of phyto-nutrients, antioxidants, and sodium hyaluronate—to protect against uneven skin tone, dullness, and signs of aging. Moisturizing agents like safflower oleosomes, sodium hyaluronate, and panthenol provide long-lasting hydration, improving skin stability throughout the day. Four clinical UV filters (octocrylene, homosalate, octisalate, and avobenzone) deliver complete broad-spectrum protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Brilliant Defense SPF 50 different from PowerMineral™ SPF 50?

Brilliant Defense has a dewy, luminous finish and works on all skin tones with no white cast. PowerMineral™ has a sheer satin finish and feels lighter on sensitive or acne-prone skin. Choose Brilliant Defense if you want glow + brightening; choose PowerMineral if you want calming, lightweight mineral protection.

Is this good for pigmentation or uneven tone?

Yes. The BrightShield Complex™ specifically targets discoloration and uneven tone while protecting against future UV-induced pigmentation. It’s an ideal daily SPF for melasma-prone or post-inflammatory pigmentation-prone skin.

Will this leave a white cast?

No. The formula is completely sheer with a dewy finish and is designed to work on all skin tones, including deeper Fitzpatrick levels.

How does Brilliant Defense SPF 50 compare to Daily SPF 30 Plus?

Daily SPF 30 Plus has a light-to-medium weight feel with a slightly dewy finish and works for all skin tones without a cast—great for normal to dry skin. Brilliant Defense SPF 50 is lighter, more radiant, and offers stronger UV protection with a true dewy glow. If you want brighter, more luminous skin with added hydration and anti-discoloration benefits, Brilliant Defense is the more elevated option. If you want something dewy but more basic and budget-friendly, SPF 30 Plus works well.

Do I still need a moisturizer under Brilliant Defense SPF 50?

It depends on your skin type. Brilliant Defense is hydrating on its own, and many normal-to-dry clients feel comfortable using it as both their moisturizer and SPF. If your skin is very dry or you’re using actives that increase dryness, you may want a lightweight moisturizer (Barrier Gel cream) underneath for added support.
