Skin Longevity and Collagen Supplementation: All Day Age-Delay Emulsion + the Importance of Taking a Holistic Approach
We’re often asked about supplementation with collagen peptides— topical and oral—and whether it works. With the right approach, supplementation can be very effective; it just takes a bit of know-how to get it right (and understanding how-not-to). In our newest blog, our Founder Marie Veronique Nadeau shares her response to the latest science and research, her thoughts on oral supplements + injectables, and how to build a smart, impactful strategy for supporting collagen and skin longevity.
Why We Created This: All Day Age-Delay Emulsion
Our working philosophy has always been to identify a need for products that the marketplace is not currently addressing, and to fill that gap. Our R&D team is always striving to create skincare’s Holy Grail—a topical that is safe, effective, and rooted in the latest science that visibly delays aging and extends the lifespan of skin. And that’s exactly what they achieved with All Day Age-Delay Emulsion.
Why We Made This: Rescue Tonic
We made Rescue Tonic at the request of people suffering from dermatitis-type symptoms that kept returning, no matter what they did. In fact, the more they tried, the worse things got. By targeting the cause rather than suppressing the symptoms we broke the vicious cycle of flare-ups followed by temporary relief followed by even worse flare-ups, and in addition dispensed with the compounding of symptoms that can accompany microbiome dysfunction.
Debunking Myths Around Sunscreen
We frequently receive questions about sunscreen, as consumer understanding of sun protection is often clouded by misinformation. With the abundance of conflicting advice online, it can be difficult to discern fact from fiction. At MARIE VERONIQUE, we are deeply committed to skin health and to addressing the harmful effects of sun exposure. Our mission is to dispel common myths about sunscreen and challenge long-standing misconceptions, many of which persist despite significant advancements in research.
Why We Made This: The Story Behind COLORFREE ZINC SUNSCREEN SPF 32
Sunscreen has been around for millennia. Starting with the days when people smeared sheep’s tallow on their skin to protect it from harsh winds and brutal sun, to the more recent oxybenzone-based sunscreens we now know damage both our skin and the well-being of our planet. Skincare science has advanced significantly since then—enough to show us that conventional sunscreens that protect from UV rays during the daylight hours are simply not enough. We need comprehensive round-the-clock protection against all the different assaults on DNA that negatively impact skin’s health and integrity. In addition, let’s go back to what inspired people to use sheep tallow in the first place—a desire for glowing, supple, youthful-looking skin. These days, a good sunscreen should provide more than just sun protection. It should protect skin from all sources of light damage and major hallmarks of aging.
The Best Cleanser for Skin Health Isn't Sold by Any Skincare Company, Including Ours.
When asked about her most essential products, it’s no secret that Marie Veronique Nadeau will reveal she uses yogurt as her daily cleanser. In fact, it was a muse when we formulated our oil cleansers to be a shelf-stable version of it. In honor of Marie’s dedication to the source and her legendary influence over many of us, we feel compelled to elaborate on this effective DIY step so you may experience the wonders of Mother Nature’s fermented topical if you wish.

Dermal Delivery of the Essential Topical Micronutrients: Part Two
I didn’t realize until after I’d written the previous blog post that it begged for a sequel; knowing which micronutrients are necessary to maintain healthy skin is of course important, but if micronutrients don’t travel to where they need to go, not to mention be in good shape and ready to work once they’ve arrived, then they’re useless (even worse than useless in some cases, when being in the wrong place can harm the skin). So, in a follow-up to the discussion in Part One concerning which micronutrients to use we focus this time on where micronutrients need to go, i.e., to which layers of the skin, their mode of transport, and what they do once they’ve reached their destination. The short term for all this eventful activity is Dermal Delivery.
