Damastíque officially launches today with a clear mission: to redefine sun care for women whose skin is most affected by hormonal shifts and pigmentation. Founded by Aissa Duffy, Damastíque stands apart by pairing 20% zinc oxide mineral protection with its proprietary Antioxid Melanocyte Calm™ complex, a biotechnology-powered blend that helps deliver thoughtful, effective, and ethically sourced solutions for pigmentation-prone, sensitive, and hormonally shifting skin.

Rooted in prevention and built on the vision that sun care should be safe for every Dama, Damastíque is a movement that celebrates diverse skin tones and empowers women to thrive in the skin they're in. By blending sun-resilient botanicals sourced from Latin America with modern science, the brand takes a holistic approach that honors tradition while addressing today's skin concerns.
“Damastíque was born out of my own experience with melasma. I wanted to enjoy the sun without guilt and move past the insecurity of dark spots,” says Aissa Duffy. “As a young girl in South Texas near Mexico, I saw the same marks on my abuela, tias, and mother etched into their skin after years working under the sun as migrant workers. Years later, after battling melasma triggered by hormonal changes and sun exposure, I found the beauty industry is full of unknowns, quick fixes, and ingredients that can do more harm than good. We promise to be transparent about our process and formulas – from sourcing and ingredients to potential effects. We keep it real and give our community the resources, education, and products they need to protect their skin from the inside out. Women should not have to settle for unsafe skincare products or choose between protecting their skin or protecting their health.”
With a background in beauty marketing and brand partnerships, Aissa turned a lived experience into leadership and spent six years building a brand that fuses whole-body wellness, ancestral plants, and biotechnology. Damastíque products are thoughtfully made with high-quality ingredients and dermatologist testing to ensure skin tolerance. Every formula is vegan, cruelty-free, and formulated with mamas in mind.
