Protective Day Oil

Marie Veronique Protective Day Oil is a nourishing facial oil designed to support healthy skin and provide environmental defense during the day. This lightweight formula blends essential fatty acids to help support the skin’s natural barrier and hydration. With its fast-absorbing texture, it layers easily under sunscreen or makeup for a smooth, radiant finish.

The formula features plant-based omega-3 sources like kiwi and chia seed oils, alongside algae oil rich in EPA to help soothe inflammation. A potent mix of antioxidant oils—pomegranate, tomato, broccoli seed—combines with astaxanthin and red raspberry seed oil to support protection from UV rays and environmental stressors, promoting a balanced and healthy complexion.

HOW TO USE IT

Shake well before use. Dispense approximately 1/2 dropper of product and warm between palms. Gently smooth over face, neck, and chest, avoiding the eye area.

ABOUT THIS BRAND

Marie Veronique is a California-based skincare brand specializing in small-batch, microbiome-friendly formulations that support long-term skin health. Founded in 2002 and headquartered in Berkeley, Marie Veronique combines multidisciplinary research with a commitment to clean chemistry, offering topical solutions for all skin types and tones. With a particular emphasis on the science of age delay, the brand creates products that address a range of skin conditions—including dryness, congestion, and sensitivity—by working with, not against, the skin’s natural intelligence.

The brand was founded by Marie-Veronique Nadeau, a former chemistry teacher and licensed esthetician, whose passion for skin health grew out of a personal search for better aging solutions. Today, the brand is recognized for its evidence-led formulations, thoughtful ingredient sourcing, and transparent production practices. All products are made in-house at their Berkeley lab, ensuring freshness, efficacy, and integrity at every step. Marie Veronique also prioritizes sustainability by using recyclable packaging, minimizing waste in production, and supporting suppliers who share their commitment to environmental responsibility. As a woman-founded and woman-led company, Marie Veronique also champions equity and access by supporting initiatives that empower underrepresented voices in science and wellness.
