360° protection, 365 days a year
Each day, your skin is affected by radiation from the sun. A few types may sound familiar, like ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB). However, visible blue light and infrared rays can also influence your skin’s health.
But the sun isn’t the only thing to consider when it comes to protecting your skin. Other lifestyle and environmental factors, also known as the exposome, play a powerful role in how your skin ages and responds to the world.
Pollution, tobacco smoke, and even the climate you live in—with so many things to consider, how can you stay ahead of it all? Enter Fusion Water MAGIC. Its advanced formula boasts broad spectrum sun protection while helping to defend against free radical damage from blue light, pollution, infrared, and heat. All with a lightweight texture you’ll enjoy wearing.
Your new favorite sunscreen
No white cast or pilling. Daily 360° protection. Hydration for up to 12 hours. How can one sunscreen seemingly do it all? Here’s what to know.
What does 5-Star Formulation mean?
Once you’re holding the bottle in your hand, you might notice the glimmering gold star on the front. This 5-point icon represents each of the benefits in store for your skin, such as:
- Texture: This fast-absorbing solution leaves no greasy residue behind.
- Sun protection: The broad spectrum formula helps protect against the sun’s UVA, UVB, and blue light radiation and their damaging effects, such as photoaging and skin cancer.

- Aesthetics: Perfect under makeup or on its own, the silky texture lends a smooth, invisible finish.
Beyond its 5-Star Formulation, Fusion Water MAGIC is also dermatologist tested and suitable for all skin types and tones.
What ingredients are inside Fusion Water MAGIC?
A unique blend inspired by nature and backed by science—this is what sets Fusion Water MAGIC apart from other sunscreens. With the help of our experts, let’s take a look at each unique ingredient:
Mediterranean algae extract
From the Santa Pola salt flats off the shores of Valencia, this red algae has been around for over 625 million years. And now it’s found its way into your skincare routine.
“This small but mighty extract contains two powerful antioxidants that help support the skin’s natural defense system,” shares Alessandro De Luca, ISDIN Medical Affairs Specialist.
Inside Fusion Water MAGIC, it combats oxidative stress for resilient, healthy-looking skin.
Hyaluronic acid
Hyaluronic acid boasts a high water retention capacity, acting to attract and store moisture. And it’s found naturally in your skin.
Aside from acting as a moisturizing powerhouse, hyaluronic acid also plays a role in skin repair and well-aging.
Inside Fusion Water MAGIC, it works to keep skin hydrated for up to twelve hours.*
Vitamin E
This fat-soluble antioxidant is another component that’s naturally present in your skin. Its main function? To protect against oxidative damage caused by free radicals, helping to keep the skin healthy.
It also reinforces the barrier function, minimizes moisture loss, and contributes to skin repair.

Physalis pubescens
The summer heat can do more than just prompt a dip in the pool—it can also affect how your skin ages. Dr. Latanya Benjamin explains, “Over time, increased skin temperature can significantly affect skin structure.”
Here’s where Physalis pubesens, or husk tomato extract, shows its strong suit. This naturally occurring ingredient minimizes the effects of high temperatures on your skin.
Inside Fusion Water MAGIC, it works to counteract free radical damage due to heat.

Your skin needs protection, no matter the weather. Even at the office on a cloudy afternoon, UV radiation and solar blue light can still reach your skin and cause damage. Plus, there’s still pollution and other stressors to consider.
