"I have never have liked the feel of sunscreen or found any that didn't break me out until LINNE. My skin loves it and it lays perfectly under makeup." - Deidre M.

ADVANTAGES

PROTECT isn’t just a sunscreen — it’s the ultimate all-in-one daily essential, combining the hydration of a luxury day cream, the perfect base of a makeup primer, and the durability of a high-performance SPF sports formula. With non-nano zinc and nurturing botanicals, it safeguards against UV, blue light, and environmental stressors while delivering luminous, even-toned skin. Sweat- and water-resistant for 40 minutes, it's built for active days without compromise.

FORMULATION STORY

For years, our customers urged us to create a LINNÉ sunscreen. In 2019, we began the journey—and after 4.5 years of relentless formulation and sample feedback from over 300 customers, PROTECT was born. Crafting an effective, zinc-based, high-performance sunscreen with the luxurious feel of a day cream was no small feat. But our dedication paid off—PROTECT exceeds every expectation, and we’re beyond thrilled to share it with you.

HOW TO USE

Use PROTECT as the final step in your skincare routine, applying liberally to the face before sun exposure. Because it’s zinc-based, protection begins immediately upon application. If wearing makeup, apply PROTECT first. Reapply every two hours while in the sun, and immediately after swimming, sweating (40-minute water resistance), or towel drying.

A Routine For PROTECT

PROTECT - Make it a Routine

PROTECT is an essential step in every routine — daily sunscreen is the single most proven, widely accepted way to prevent premature aging. This luxurious mineral SPF shields the skin from UV damage, blue light, and pollution while moisturizing and supporting healthy elasticity. Pair it with CLEANSE and RENEW for a streamlined yet incredibly effective ritual that keeps skin clear, radiant, resilient, and beautifully protected.

Step 1: Massage CLEANSE onto damp skin to lift impurities while keeping the complexion calm and balanced. Rinse and pat dry.

Step 2: Apply 2 pumps of RENEW to the face and neck to hydrate, brighten, and support renewal.

Step 3: Smooth PROTECT evenly over the face, neck, and décolleté as the final step in your morning routine.

The Result: A calm, radiant complexion fortified with daily moisture and essential environmental protection.

Real Results

In a clinical trial, twice-daily use of 2% Celfie™ (Thyme Extract) for 60 days significantly reduced wrinkles and enhanced facial contours. For similar effects, apply PROTECT twice daily.

FAQs

How does PROTECT help prevent premature aging?

PROTECT defends against premature aging by combining non-nano zinc oxide with Ectoin, a powerful extremolyte. Zinc oxide provides broad-spectrum UV protection, preventing sun-induced damage that leads to wrinkles, loss of elasticity, and hyperpigmentation. Meanwhile, Ectoin shields skin from pollution, blue light, and oxidative stress, all of which accelerate aging. By reinforcing the skin barrier, reducing inflammation, and protecting against environmental aggressors, PROTECT helps maintain a smooth, resilient, and youthful complexion every day.

Is PROTECT reef-safe?

Yes! PROTECT is formulated with biodegradable ingredients and non-nano zinc oxide, making it safe for both your skin and the ocean. Unlike chemical sunscreens that contain oxybenzone, octinoxate, and other reef-harming compounds, PROTECT uses zinc oxide—the safest and most effective mineral sunscreen ingredient. It provides broad-spectrum protection without disrupting marine ecosystems, making it a responsible choice for those who care about both skin health and environmental impact.

Why is zinc oxide the best choice for sunscreen?

Broad-Spectrum Protection: Zinc oxide is the only single-ingredient that offers broad-spectrum defense against UVA, UVB, and even UVC rays. UVB rays are known to cause DNA damage leading to skin cancer, while UVA rays contribute to photo-aging, resulting in wrinkles, roughness, and age spots. Notably, if a sunscreen isn't labeled as broad-spectrum, it only shields against UVB rays. Safety and Stability: Unlike some chemical sunscreens, zinc oxide is photostable, meaning it doesn't degrade when exposed to sunlight, ensuring consistent and long-lasting protection. Additionally, it's non-irritating and suitable for sensitive skin types, making it a preferred choice for many individuals. Environmental Considerations: We've chosen non-nano zinc oxide to protect our oceans. Chemicals like oxybenzone, octinoxate, and others found in many sunscreens can harm coral reefs, affecting their reproductive cycles and worsening the effects of coral bleaching. In contrast, non-nano zinc oxide is considered safe for marine life, including coral reefs. Studies have shown that certain chemical UV filters can harm aquatic life, including corals, leading to bans in various regions. By choosing sunscreens formulated with zinc oxide, you're not only safeguarding your skin but also contributing to the preservation of our precious marine ecosystems.

Is PROTECT safe for use during pregnancy and on children?

For children under 4 and pregnant individuals in their third trimester, we recommend consulting a doctor before use. Butyloctyl Salicylate is a widely used and generally well-tolerated ingredient, commonly found in clean, EWG-verified sunscreens—including many marketed specifically for pregnancy and babies. While its safety profile is considered favorable, there is limited conclusive data on salicylate use in these more vulnerable populations. Out of an abundance of caution, we advise seeking medical guidance. While Butyloctyl Salicylate is a topical ester, not an oral salicylate like aspirin, it belongs to the broader salicylate family. In high systemic doses, salicylates have been associated with a rare risk of premature closure of the ductus arteriosus in the fetus during the third trimester. This concern is specific to certain forms and routes of exposure and does not reflect the same risk profile for topical use. PROTECT contains 4% Butyloctyl Salicylate, and we stand by its safety and efficacy—but always support personalized guidance from healthcare providers during pregnancy and early childhood.

Is PROTECT tested on animals?

No, PROTECT is never tested on animals—because it doesn’t have to be. Unlike chemical sunscreens, which will be required to undergo animal testing under new regulations starting in February 2025, PROTECT is formulated with non-nano zinc oxide, a mineral sunscreen ingredient that is already recognized as safe and effective. Our commitment to cruelty-free formulations means you can trust that PROTECT delivers high-performance sun protection without harming animals.

Is PROTECT only for suncare?

Not at all—PROTECT is so much more than just a sunscreen. Beyond shielding your skin from UV rays, it’s infused with nourishing, hydrating, contouring, and reparative ingredients that support overall skin health. It also defends against pollution and blue light, which can contribute to hyperpigmentation, collagen breakdown, and premature aging. Whether it’s sunny or cloudy, indoors or outdoors, PROTECT is a daily step for healthier, more resilient skin.
