Riviera Sun by Thalgo is the sunny expression of Beauté Marine: a scientific and sensory approach to skincare that protects, beautifies, and respects the skin barrier under the sun. Since its origin on the French Riviera, Thalgo investigates the power of algae and marine active ingredients to offer luxury cosmetics with visible results and pleasant textures. At Riviera Sun, that expertise becomes a premium sun protection ritual where the skin enjoys smart triple defence and a radiant, even, comfortable finish, both on the face and body.
The brand's philosophy is built around efficacy and pleasure: formulas with effective ingredients that combine UVA/UVB new-generation filters with a natural marine filter extracted from the Polysiphonia lanosa algae, identified by Thalgo for its ability to help protect against photoageing and sun spots. This synergy reinforces the shield against radiation and, at the same time, incorporates hydrating complexes and soothing and antioxidant agents that minimise the feeling of tightness, reduce oxidative stress and keep the skin balanced during sun exposure. Thus, Riviera Sun positions itself as a complete beauty ritual: luxury cosmetics that defend, care for and enhance the skin.
The collection brings together a curated selection of textures that melt into the skin: light lotions, silky fluids, high-coverage milky sprays and sublime sun oils. Among them, key pieces of the ritual stand out:
- Fluide Fondant Age Protect SPF50: a high-protection facial fluid with a melting, comfortable finish, designed to help prevent sun-induced signs of ageing. The combination of SPF50 filters, the Polysiphonia lanosa marine filter and long-lasting hydration creates an urban and holiday shield that helps preserve the radiance and skin tone evenness. Ideal for those looking for advanced defense without giving up elegant sensoriality.
- Spray Lacté Hydratant SPF50+: a body spray with a milky texture, designed for an even and practical application. Skin feels hydrated, protected and flexible from the very first application, with an invisible, water-resistant finish that makes reapplication throughout the day easy.
- Huile Solaire Sublimatrice SPF30: a sun oil that enhances your tan with a sophisticated, controlled glow. Its SPF30 and protective marine complex combine with beautifying oils to reveal a satiny look, preventing dullness and boosting a evenness of a high level. It's the perfect choice for those who prioritize healthy glow and sensory comfort.
- Age Defense SPF30 (Body milk) and Fluide Fondant Repulpant (face): formulas designed for those who want balanced protection and a plumping effect on exposed skin. Their light, refined textures seal in the hydration, support elasticity and blend naturally into your daily skincare.
- Lait Fraîcheur Prolongateur and Aftersun Hidra‑Calmante: the essentials for after-sun care to soothe, hydrate and prolong a luminous, even tan. With moisturising and comforting active ingredients, they reduce the feeling of residual heat, ease tightness and reinforce the skin barrier, preparing your skin for the next day.
Beyond the names, Riviera Sun builds a sun beauty ritual in layers, easy to follow and high-performing. Before heading out, apply the sunscreen best suited to your exposure (SPF50 for face and body on days of intense radiation; SPF30 on moderate days), always remembering sensitive areas such as the neckline, shoulders, hands and ears. During the day, reapply as directed — especially after long swims or sweating — and pair sun protection with hats, sunglasses and proper hydration. At the end of the day, after-sun care becomes a moment of reconnection with your skin: a light massage that reduces thermal stress, restores water and lipids, and maintains the evenness of the tan.
The Riviera Sun experience is also olfactory and tactile: summery accords that evoke Mediterranean light and a feeling of silky skin, never sticky or heavy. The lightweight textures absorb quickly, leave a comfortable veil and turn the act of protecting your skin into a daily pleasure, whether in the city or on holiday. This deliberate sensoriality elevates the routine, improves adherence to skincare and, as a result, enhances the visible results: less redness, a more even tone, less feeling of dryness, and a tan that is more balanced over time.
As a specialised marketplace, we present Riviera Sun for those seeking luxury cosmetics with effective ingredients, designed by a house with decades of marine research. The collection addresses real needs of today's consumer: defence against UVA/UVB, prevention of photoageing and sun spots, and comfort sensorial that keeps pace with active lifestyles. The inclusion of the marine filter Polysiphonia lanosa —reinforced by modern filters— sets the line apart and underscores the scientific vocation of Thalgo: well-thought-out protocols, rationally selected actives and formulas that respect the skin, its diversity and its movement.
Riviera Sun speaks of balance: protect to enjoy, hydrate to preserve, soothe to prolong.
