ABOUT MARIE VERONIQUE
Marie-Veronique Nadeau is a chemist who founded Marie Veronique in 2002. An inventor at heart who suffered from teenage acne, she was moved to create her own products when she could find nothing on the market that was clean and effective to address her rosacea. From there, she went on to develop a line for acne and was one of the first to formulate a non-nano zinc oxide sunscreen. She continues to lead the way towards safe yet effective skincare, determined to move an industry ensconced in hype into the realm of science. She is a trained esthetician, holds degrees in Math and Science, and is a former high school chemistry teacher. She collaborates with her daughter, Jay Nadeau, physicist and bio-medical engineer, to carefully choose each ingredient in her products to solve real skin issues and address the causes of aging at the source.
Our vision at Marie Veronique is to deliver superior, non-toxic skincare drawing on nature’s genius and the brain of science through innovative formulations. Achieving optimal skin health and healing real skin issues drive us to produce safe products that truly work.

1.7 FL OZ | 50 mL
A breakthrough, broad-spectrum sunscreen formulated with NON-NANO ZINC OXIDE-ONLY that offers comprehensive 24/7 protection against sunburn, cellular damage, and inflammation. Formulated for all skin tones, types, and ages. No white cast. Sunscreen is your best protection against premature skin aging.
++Daytime UV ray and blue light defense. Nighttime CPD* damage prevention and repair.
Research shows that 97% of wrinkles are caused by sun exposure and that UVA rays can penetrate windows and clouds. COLORFREE is more than a sunscreen. It’s your most important tool and essential AM regimen step for healthy, protected skin in the face of today’s unavoidable environmental stressors.
This weightless, invisible sunscreen for advanced daily protection + age delay is one of the most technically complex formulas we’ve ever created. After 5+ years in the making, developed and manufactured completely in-house at our OTC facility, we’ve redefined what sunscreen can do.
COLORFREE is strategically formulated with non-nano zinc oxide-only plus antioxidants, moisturizers, and advanced cellular protection technology to go beyond UV defense and address all forms of light-induced skin damage while it actively fights free radicals, mitigates oxidative stress, and repairs cells.
The lightweight emulsion absorbs instantly with no white cast or greasy finish so it’s suitable for all skin tones, types, and ages. And because we produce the sunscreen ourselves and have direct control over every step of the process, we’re able to ensure it meets our rigorous quality, safety, and efficacy standards–for both people and the environment.
*Cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) refer to harmful changes in DNA which can disrupt normal cell function, potentially leading to skin aging and other unwanted skin conditions. CPDs are caused by UV radiation + exposure, and can occur up to 3 hours after sun exposure.

COLORFREE’s innovative and clean formula:
Traditional chemical and mineral sunscreens:
Round-the-clock sun protection and age delay
Actively prevents and repairs cellular damage
Shields skin from the effects of UV rays and blue light
Mitigates inflammation, fights free radicals, and moisturizes
100% invisible with no white cast or greasy residue
NON-NANO ZINC OXIDE (17%) — A physical (mineral) sunscreen that provides broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays. Helps prevent sunburn and related signs of skin aging.
TURMERIC & GINGER — Both have potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and skin-brightening properties. They work to help calm redness and promote even skin tone so skin looks and feels radiant and soothed.
SODIUM HYALURONATE — This powerful form of hyaluronic acid draws moisture into the skin, keeping it deeply hydrated and plump. Helps skin feel moisturized and comfortable all day, unlike many other mineral sunscreens that have a drying effect.
CARNOSINE — A dipeptide with antioxidant properties that helps prevent photoaging, inflammation, and redness from free radicals and UVB rays.
SPIRULINA MAXIMA EXTRACT — This algae extract performs a dual function, acting as a free radical scavenger and shielding skin from the damaging effects of blue light. It also contains the potent enzyme photolyase, which helps repair UV damage through photoreactivation. This, in turn, helps prevent cellular damage from CPDs.
