Tinge After sun gelcream 100mL

Tinge creates skincare that truly works. We combine the power of nature with science, using natural ingredients and a high concentration of active components that genuinely make a difference. Tinge blends the expertise of experienced pharmacists and engineers to develop effective and clinically proven products that efficiently address skin aging, pigmentation, and acne. 

With at least 95% natural ingredients, our formulas are not only kind to your skin but also to the environment. Every ingredient is carefully selected by our team of pharmacists based on proven efficacy and is gentle even on sensitive skin. Our products are free from irritating or harmful additives such as mineral oils, silicones, parabens, SLS/SLES, or drying alcohols. Thanks to the high concentration of active ingredients, our products are highly effective and contribute to visibly healthy and radiant skin

Our production runs entirely on solar energy and takes place in controlled cleanrooms in Belgium, entirely in-house and under the strictest quality controls. This ensures exceptional product safety and quality. By keeping everything in-house, we closely monitor every step of the process, resulting in consistently high-quality skincare where innovation and sustainability go hand in hand. 

All our products use Aqua Purificata, a purified water that meets the strict standards of the European Pharmacopoeia. This sets a new benchmark for purity and microbial control, far beyond what is standard in the cosmetics industry. This level of purity makes our products more stable, safer, and longer-lasting. With fewer impurities and lower microbial risk, the result is reliable and skin-friendly formulas that meet stringent regulatory standards. In short, Tinge stands for innovative skincare that works — with care for people and the planet.

Using natural skincare products is important, but we go further by selecting only natural ingredients that are mild and highly compatible with the skin. Carefully chosen natural ingredients are often rich in nutrients like vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that help keep skin healthy, protected, and revitalized. Moreover, they are free from harmful or irritating chemicals, fragrances, and colorants, making them ideal for sensitive skin types. 

Natural products are not only better for your skin but also for the environment. Nature recognizes and breaks down natural ingredients naturally, which makes them more sustainable. They are less taxing on the environment and are often responsibly sourced.

Aqua Purificata is ultra-pure water that we produce ourselves, with minimal impurities, minerals, and contaminants. Compared to what is typically used in the cosmetics industry, it meets much higher purity standards. This makes it ideal for sensitive skin because it contains almost no ions or pollutants, significantly reducing the risk of allergic reactions and irritation. Its purity ensures that active ingredients in skincare can work more effectively, as there's less interference from impurities or minerals. This allows ingredients like antioxidants, vitamins, and moisturizers to perform optimally, contributing to visibly healthier and more radiant skin.

Yes! Tinge is fully developed and produced in Antwerp, Belgium, with a strong emphasis on local manufacturing and high quality. The brand values not only the best formulas but also sustainable practices. Production is powered entirely by solar energy, helping to reduce our ecological footprint. Every step of the process — from formulation to packaging and distribution — is carefully controlled. This enhances quality and ensures transparency, so consumers know they're choosing a product that’s good for their skin and the environment.

Yes, Tinge products are scientifically proven to be safe for sensitive skin. They undergo thorough testing to ensure compatibility with all skin types, including extensive assessments on how sensitive skin responds. We use only ingredients that are scientifically shown to be both effective and gentle. Tinge products are regularly tested in collaboration with dermatologists and skincare experts to meet the highest safety standards and ensure daily use without irritation. Thanks to this scientific approach, you can trust Tinge to be safe and effective — even for the most sensitive skin.

No, Tinge products do not contain hormone-disrupting substances (also known as endocrine disruptors). We are committed to the health and safety of our customers and therefore carefully select ingredients that have no negative impact on the hormonal system. All our products are rigorously tested and meet the highest safety standards. We are fully transparent about the ingredients we use, so you can trust in the effectiveness of Tinge products, knowing they contain no harmful substances.

Tinge products are available at selected pharmacies throughout Belgium. You can easily order them via your local pharmacy — simply ask your pharmacist about our range or availability. They are also available via our official website.

UV radiation damages skin cells and triggers inflammation, leading to redness, dryness, and sensitivity. Aftersun creams provide:

• Hydration: To replenish lost moisture.
• Cooling effect: Ingredients like aloe vera provide a soothing sensation.
• Anti-inflammatory action: Helps reduce redness and swelling.​
• Antioxidant protection: Neutralizes free radical damage.

Aftersun creams are specifically formulated to:

• Treat the effects of UV damage.
• Contain active ingredients that soothe and repair (like panthenol and antioxidants).
• Have a lighter, faster-absorbing texture, ideal for hot or irritated skin.
• A regular moisturizer provides general hydration and often lacks the calming and reparative qualities of an aftersun.

Aftersun creams can indirectly help preserve your tan by keeping the skin hydrated and preventing peeling. Ingredients like glycerin and panthenol help prevent dryness, which is key to maintaining your bronzed glow.

NMFs are a group of natural compounds found in the stratum corneum (the outermost layer of the skin) that help retain moisture. They mainly consist of:

• Amino acids and their derivatives
• Lactic acid (lactate)
• Urea
• Pyrrolidone carboxylic acid (PCA)
• Minerals like sodium, potassium, and calcium

After sun exposure, the skin loses moisture due to dehydration and increased TEWL (transepidermal water loss). Tinge Aftersun Gelcream restores the moisture balance using NMFs by:

• Retaining water and providing deep hydration.
• Reducing redness and tightness
• Supporting the skin's natural healing process

Olivoyl PCA is an ester formed by combining olive oil derivatives with pyrrolidone carboxylic acid (PCA). PCA is a natural part of the skin’s NMF, while olive oil is known for its nourishing and protective properties. Together, they create a bioactive ingredient that is both moisturizing and skin-soothing.

Panthenol is the alcohol form of pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), an essential nutrient involved in many biological processes. In skincare, panthenol acts as a moisturizing, soothing, and healing agent that penetrates the skin deeply and is converted into active vitamin B5.

Shea butter is a plant-based fat extracted from the nuts of the shea tree (Vitellaria paradoxa), native to Africa. It contains a unique composition of fatty acids, antioxidants, and bioactive compounds, making it ideal for skin care.

Bisabolol, specifically α-bisabolol, is a natural alcohol compound primarily derived from the essential oil of chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) or the Brazilian Candeia tree (Vanillosmopsis erythropappa). It is known for its soothing, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties.

Wheat proteins, or hydrolyzed wheat proteins, are broken-down proteins derived from wheat grain. These proteins contain various amino acids like glutamic acid, proline, and cysteine, which are essential for skin health. They are used in skincare for their ability to hydrate, strengthen, and protect the skin.
