burnd Introduces Mineral SPF 34 Infused With Photolyase

The formula centers on photolyase, an enzyme prevalent in plants and algae that has become a focal point for skin scientists aiming to mitigate cellular damage beyond surface-level sunburn. By combining this ingredient with transparent zinc oxide, the company seeks to move away from the traditional, heavy feel of mineral sunscreens. Co-founder Dr. Mark Mitchnick, known for his work in transparent zinc technology, noted that the objective was to bridge the gap between nature-derived science and practical, everyday skin protection.

Beyond its protective capabilities, the product offers a sheer tint designed for a matte finish, functioning more like a luxury moisturizer than a conventional sunscreen. CEO Malachy Mitchnick emphasized that the goal is to remove the sense of compromise often associated with daily sun protection. The sunscreen is available starting today through the company’s website and Amazon, catering to consumers who prioritize both long-term health and cosmetic wearability.
