The company's newest launch is a Vitamin C+ Illuminating Anti-Age BB Cream with SPF 20, which also harnesses the power of arctic cloudberry to deliver six essential benefits: it brightens like a primer, evens skin tone like a foundation, hydrates like a moisturizer, corrects blemishes like a concealer, delays signs of aging and offers sun protection. Arctic cloudberry nectar helps to enhance skin’s luminosity and improve elasticity.

It's available in two shades to complement any skin tone, and can be used alone, after applying day cream, or under foundation.
