NO. 13
€34
Are you looking for a product that acts as a moisturizing face cream, sunscreen and self tanner – and has the feeling of a moisturizer? Then No.13, a unique 3-in-1 product, might be your new beloved. No.13 hydrate, tan, and protect your skin. We use ‘physical/mineral’ sunscreen filters, that reflect the UV-light off of your skin. No.13 contains no endocrine disruptors, making it safe to use while being pregnant and breastfeeding. The SPF 30 protects your skin from damaging UV-rays (both UVA & UVB), photoaging and skin irritations. No.13 is formulated to hydrate your skin, without greasing or oily residue, and it’s non-comedogenic; meaning it doesn’t clog pores. The self tanning part gives you a natural looking, subtle tan and golden glow. It’s easily spreadable, fast absorbed, and doesn’t leave white cast nor fluff, giving your skin a velvety finish. It feels like a dewy moisturizer to apply, that embraces your skin.
– It has no adverse effects on the environment!
– FYI: If you want a youthful looking skin and decrease wrinkles and premature skin; then sunscreen is important all year round. UVA rays, which cause premature aging and wrinkles, are present all year and are those that go through windows, skies, etc. – so keep applying your SPF :)
Recommended replenishment frequency: 45 days
Product Details
No.13 is a Face Cream with SPF30, a high quality cream acting both as a facial moisturizer, sunscreen and self tanner. It’s easy to spread and doesn’t give you the greasy, clogged feeling like other sunscreens, nor leaves any cast (or fluff when you start with your make-up). It protects your skin from damaging UV-lights (UVA & UVB), and is a physical/mineral sunscreen. Mineral sunscreens don’t penetrate your skin, like chemical sunscreens do, and are thus without endocrine disruptors, meaning it’s safe to use while breastfeeding or pregnant. No.13 leaves your skin with a silky touch and smoothness, without oily residue. It helps to retain the elasticity of the skin and is well adapted for anti-ageing. It assists in protecting your skin from photoaging and reduces skin irritations.
Icing on the cake; it brings a natural, even, and long lasting tan – and it’s fragrance and odor free. It’s a velvety, lightweight and “bare skin” feel, leaving your skin with a healthy, subtle, natural and glowy tan.
– It has no adverse effects on the environment!
Your benefits
Your skin gets protected against the maximum UV-range, gets nourished, hydrated and tanned, all in one moisturizing cream. It’s filled with nutritious ingredients giving your skin a velvety, bare-skin feel and glow. You won’t experience the usual clogging, oily feel that usually follows with sunscreens – and certainly no cast (or fluff). As a physical/mineral sunscreen, it reflects the UV-rays and doesn’t harm the cells in your body – despite an +8hour wear. Your skin’s elasticity will be increased and feel youthful, healthy and hydrated. Your skin will be protected and relieved against photoaging and stress, caused by blue light. It’s developed for all ages and skin types, usable for people with sensitive skin and gentle towards your skin concerns. At the same time, it gives you a natural, ‘I’ve been active in the sun’-glow, that emphasizes the youthful and healthy look – created by your own skin.
Made with a sensitive skin in mind as default; why it’s gentle for you and your skin.
Application
AM/Morning routine:
Make sure to have clean skin for best results, having applied cleanser and serums beforehand – always apply Face Cream SPF 30 as the last
Cleanse your skin
Apply thinner products*
(Apply treatment creams (acne, rosacea, peels, etc.))
Shake gently before use
Have dry skin
Apply gently to the skin with clean hands in circular motions
– Be careful around eyebrows and hairline
Wash your hands thoroughly after applying
Apply once every second or third day, depending on your skin tone and need for tan.
* PRO TIP: Always apply the thinner products first (cleanser, toners, serums, moisturizers, etc.), and finish off with ‘sealing’ the nourishing products you’ve just applied, and protect your face with the thicker (moisturizer/SPF) product.
Key ingredients
Coco Caprylate/Caprate has excellent biocompatibility with the human body; so it’s ideal for daily products for sensitive skin, dryness problems, and baby products. Caprate optimizes the hydration of your skin, stabilizing the packaging of the skin’s lipids and reduces the space between them to improve the skin barrier’s water holding capacity. It penetrates instead of evaporates, which protects the skin, and provides it with natural hydration, by reinforcing the skin’s lipid barrier. It keeps hydration in your skin, trapping water in the uppermost layers of the skin, and protecting your skin against moisture loss.
Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate is an organic compound used to absorb and give protection against the whole UVA-range, and is well tolerated by ultra-sensitive skin. It biodegrades readily and has no adverse effects on the environment. Most products that include sun filters, produced in the US and/or EU are endocrine disruptors. That is not the case with sun filters in Boë products and you can use our products safely, even when pregnant and breastfeeding.
Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone is a broad spectrum UV absorber, absorbing both UVB and UVA. Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone is an organic, oil-soluble sun filter that absorbs UVB radiation. Requires only very small concentrations to achieve a high SPF. It rarely leads to irritation, why it doesn’t cause allergic reactions. There’s no evidence of any (geno)toxic or carcinogenic effect. Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone is also super photostable, since it only loses 10% of its SPF-protection abilities in 25 hours, where 2 hours already counts as ‘photostable’.
Glycoin is a 100% natural, multifunctional, anti-aging, and cell-boosting active ingredient, that reactivates the power of youth in tired, stressed, and mature skin. Glycoin is an extremolyte, a stress protection molecule, that is produced naturally by the African resurrection plant, Myrothamnus Flabellifolia. Myrothamnus Flabellifolia grows in deserts and survives without rain. It looks withered and dead, but, as soon as it rains the plant blooms – thanks to glycoin. These remarkable properties can be transferred to (your) skin.
Dihydroxyacetone, or DHA, a colorless sugar compound that’s used in most self-tanners. It can be derived synthetically, or from sugar beets and canes. When DHA interacts with the amino acids in the proteins of the skin cells, the production of melanoids – brown pigments – happens, which creates a tanned appearance.
This reaction only occurs in the top layer of the skin, which is why self tanners aren’t permanent. At Boë we use the smallest possible particles that go deeper in the skin, compared to other self tan products. This is why the tan from Boë’s products have a long lasting natural tan color.
– DHA is generally well-tolerated by most people, though it can cause both contact dermatitis (rashes, irritation, redness) as well as an allergy. Though, we have never experienced any customers getting allergic reactions, alone from Boë’s products.
Erythrulose is a yellow to reddish sugar found in red berries, most commonly raspberries. Like DHA, it tans the skin due to a reaction with the amino acids (proteins) in the skin’s dead surface layer, producing a brownish tint. Like DHA, Erythrulose neither uses the skin’s normal pigmentation or UV-exposure to produce the tan coloration. But rather works as a chemical reaction on the skin’s dead surface cell layer and changes the skin cells to a brownish tone. At Boë we blend Erythrulose with DHA – to help the tan tone appear ‘richer’, deeper, and more even. The combination of Erythrulose and DHA gives you a more ‘natural’ look, as Erythrulose has a warmer/darker tone than the more orangey-colored DHA. Though this can vary depending on the individual, as each person’s unique skin may differ.

Why it's special
No.13 Face Cream plus SPF30 & Self Tan, is a rich facial moisturizer acting as a 3-in-1 product. It has all the benefits of a high quality face cream, sunscreen and self tan, all in one. It protects your skin, is easy to apply and leaves your skin nourished and hydrated, with a velvety, dewy touch, a fresh glow and tan, and no oily residue. You won’t experience the typical clogged and greasy feeling we all know from sunscreens and self tan. It’ll give a breathable ‘bare-skin’ feel, sensing how your skin’s quickly absorbing the handpicked ingredients, balanced to achieve a healthy feeling skin and glowing tan. Neither will you experience any cast or fluff after application, due to its smooth formula.
It’ll protect your skin against UV-lights (UVA & UVB). It’s a physical/mineral sunscreen, made for sensitive skin and without endocrine disruptors, meaning it’s safe for both pregnant and breastfeeding. The handpicked and adjusted ingredients are environmentally friendly, and have no adverse effects on the ecological system. The formula decreases the skin’s stress caused by blue light and pollution, and leads to stimulation of cell vitality, tissue repairing and cell renewal. When mixing Coco Caprylate/Caprate with the sunscreens, No.13 has shown an outstanding ability to prevent the re-crystallization of sunscreens in the formulation that allows maximum UV-protection, letting the active materials perform at maximum efficacy. Based on the BASF Sunscreen Simulator, theoretically SPF is 30, and when adding Coco Caprylate/Caprate, the SPF of the formulation was increased. The unique combination of the ingredients in No.13, gives you a solid protection against harmful UV, hydrates and nourishes your skin, and gives you a subtle, glowing, long lasting tan that looks natural and healthy.
We try to create the very best skincare for you. Here you have one.
