What it does: This antioxidant-rich sunscreen may be used on the face and body and is ideal for outdoor activities any time of year! The SPF 50 is a significant benefit as it decreases the risk of skin cancer and early skin aging caused by the sun if used as directed with other sun protection measures.

Main Ingredients

• ✔️ Titanium Dioxide (7.5%) and Zinc Oxide (3.5%): These are the active mineral sunscreen ingredients in the product. They provide broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays, making it SPF 50. Mineral sunscreens are often preferred because they sit on the skin's surface and physically block UV rays.

• ✔️ Water: The base of many skincare products, water serves as a solvent and helps with product consistency.

• ✔️ Butyloctyl Salicylate: This is an ester of salicylic acid and a fatty alcohol. It acts as an emollient, providing a smooth and non-greasy texture to the sunscreen while also enhancing its spreadability.

• ✔️ Dimethicone: A silicone-based ingredient that functions as a skin-conditioning agent and helps to create a smooth, matte finish. It also provides a protective barrier on the skin.

• ✔️ Butylene Glycol: A humectant that helps to hydrate the skin by attracting and retaining moisture.

• ✔️ Dicaprylyl Carbonate: A lightweight emollient that enhances the product's spreadability and helps it glide smoothly onto the skin.

• ✔️ Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone: A silicone-based emulsifier that helps blend the water and oil components of the product for a stable formulation.

• ✔️ Niacinamide: Also known as vitamin B3, niacinamide is a skincare powerhouse. It can help improve the appearance of enlarged pores, uneven skin tone

How To Use

Use this as that last step in your AM skincare routine for your face or body. Do not apply any other skincare product over it. Apply liberally at least 15 minutes before sun exposure.
