Ayuna Velo C 8.6g
Description
Description
Compact protective balm with SPF 60 for touch-ups on the go
The morning routine provides a first layer of protection, but what happens throughout the day? Sunscreen weakens after a few hours, the skin is exposed to pollution during outdoor work, and makeup requires touch-ups at a lunch appointment. Many classic sun touch-up sprays contain alcohol or synthetic filters that dry out the skin. For those who choose protection with integrity, another solution is needed — one that fits in a bag.
Ayuna Velo C is a 7-in-1 Guardian Balm in a compact size of 8.6 grams: a waterless powder balm with SPF 60, UVA PA++++, and protection against infrared, visible light, and blue light. The combination of mineral filters (non-nano zinc oxide and titanium dioxide) with shea butter, pomegranate cell culture, and Arabian cotton makes it usable as sun protection and as a nourishing touch-up. Notably: thanks to the non-comedogenic formula, it is also suitable after cosmetic treatments or for the skin around a fresh tattoo.
Benefits
- Provides SPF 60 broad protection against UVA, UVB, infrared, and blue light in a compact size
- Nourishes and restores the skin simultaneously thanks to shea butter and pomegranate cell culture
- Matte and refines the skin surface without clogging pores
- Quick touch-up solution on the go, fits in any bag or pocket
- Safe after aesthetic treatments, peels, or on fresh tattoos
Active ingredients
Mineral filters (non-nano zinc oxide and titanium dioxide): Two physical UV filters that reflect UV rays directly instead of absorbing them. In the non-nano variant, the mineral particles remain on the skin surface and do not penetrate the skin tissue, making it both safer and better tolerated — also for sensitive skin and post-procedure skin conditions.
Cellular Phyto-fusion of pomegranate and Arabian cotton: The signature technology of Ayuna's Velo collection. This plant cell culture protects the skin's microbiota up to 100% against radiation-related cell damage and stimulates the production of urolithins, postbiotic molecules that strengthen skin cells against oxidative stress.
Shea butter (Butyrospermum Parkii): A rich plant butter high in vitamins A, E, and F. Shea butter forms the nourishing base of the balm, protects the skin barrier, and soothes irritated skin — an important property for use on post-procedural or tattooed skin.
Mimosa phytoceramides: Plant-based ceramides derived from mimosa, structurally related to the natural ceramides in the skin barrier. They strengthen skin protection during thermal fluctuations and keep the skin supple despite the matte finish.
Jojoba esters: Waxes structurally similar to the skin's natural sebum. Jojoba esters regulate sebum production and ensure that Velo C aligns with the skin chemistry without leaving a greasy film.
Microporous silicate (non-nano): A mineral with a porous structure that absorbs excess sebum, sweat, and moisture. It mattifies the skin without disturbing the natural moisture balance and provides a velvety finish that can replace or complement makeup.
How to use
- Open the compact case and warm a small amount of product with clean fingertips
- Glide back and forth several times over the areas where protection is desired — face, neck, décolleté
- Work on delicate areas such as the nose, cheekbones, and forehead where UV exposure is strongest
- Use solo for light protection, or in combination with Velo or Velo X for maximum daily defense
- For touch-up during the day, first gently dab the skin to remove sebum, then apply the balm in thin layers
Suitable for
- All skin types, including sensitive and post-procedural skin
- Skin prone to shine seeking a matte finish
- Travelers and those often on the go — fits in a handbag or pocket
- Skin after chemical peels, microneedling, or other cosmetic treatments
- Fresh tattoos that need UV protection without burdening the skin
- Combined use with Velo cream or Velo X supraserum for maximum daily protection
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Velo C, Velo, and Velo X?
Velo C is the compact powder balm for touch-ups, water-free and with the highest SPF (60). Velo is the original day cream with a cream texture and SPF 50, for the basic routine. Velo X is the 8-in-1 supraserum with an ultra-light texture and advanced Photobiota Factor technology. The three products are complementary and can be used together for maximum protection throughout the day.
Can Velo C be used on a fresh tattoo or after a treatment?
Yes, this is even one of the recommended uses. Velo C is non-comedogenic and contains no ingredients that disrupt the skin's natural healing process. Zinc oxide even has a mild antibacterial effect, which is beneficial after aesthetic procedures or during tattoo healing. Always wait until a tattoo has passed the initial superficial healing phase (usually 7 to 10 days).
How often should I reapply Velo C for optimal protection?
For structural UV protection, it is recommended to reapply the balm every 2 hours during direct sun exposure. For regular daily indoor activities, a touch-up in the afternoon, ideally around lunchtime or before going outside, is sufficient.
Does Velo C leave a white film like classic mineral sunscreens?
No. The formula contains ultra-fine pigments that adapt to the skin tone and visually neutralize the mineral effect. The result is an invisible velvety soft finish that does not leave a white cast, even on darker skin types.
