Why Is SPF The Best Anti-Ageing Ally?

As lovers of light and advocates for skin that feels good at every age, we believe in nourishing our skin all year long. This includes listening to what it needs, season by season, stage by stage.

SPF is often framed through the lens of anti-ageing. At LIV, we prefer to think of it as a daily ritual that supports your skin’s health, vitality, and longevity, allowing it to evolve with grace and resilience.

"Wearing SPF isn't about hiding from age. It’s about honouring your skin as it changes. You're not stopping time, you're caring for the skin that carries you through it."

Estella, LIV Botanics Founder.

Sun exposure is the leading cause of premature skin damage. And while the golden glow of summer can fill us up, UV rays can silently degrade collagen, trigger pigmentation, and accelerate fine lines, often long before we see the effects.

Think of your SPF as the final, protective layer in your daily ritual. After cleansing, applying your serum, and nourishing your skin with facial oil, sunscreen completes the routine, sealing in hydration while defending against UVA and UVB rays. It’s the lightweight armour that preserves everything beneath it.

But protection doesn’t need to mean heavy, chalky layers or complicated routines. It can be gentle. Intentional. Natural.

That’s why we’ve collaborated with Sol de Ibiza, a brand whose values mirror our own. Their reef-safe, mineral-based formulas use ingredients like non-nano zinc oxide and organic botanicals to provide broad-spectrum protection without harming your skin or the planet. Unlike synthetic sunscreens, Sol de Ibiza’s mineral SPF works by sitting gently on the surface of your skin, forming a physical barrier that reflects the sun’s rays. This makes it ideal for sensitive skin, and a beautiful complement to the calming, plant-based actives in our facial oils.

No fragrance. No hormone disruptors. Just pure, effective sun care.

To celebrate summer and the rituals that support it, we’ve created the LIV Summer Pouch, in collaboration with Sol de Ibiza. Inside, you’ll find a curated collection of sun-smart skincare, perfect for travel, gifting, or simply elevating your daily routine.

Whether you're heading to the coast or spending your days in the garden, think of your SPF as an act of devotion. One that helps you embrace the sun and your skin with equal care.
