Everything you need to know about AKT Therapy Elemental Sun Balm SPF 30

Overview

What it is

This product is a facial balm that serves multiple purposes, including working as a moisturizer and providing broad spectrum UV protection due to its mineral-based formula. It contains a natural tint and is designed to offer hydration and a layer of protection for the skin.

Key ingredients and their functions

  • Zinc Oxide - UV filter
  • Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil - moisturizing agent
  • Cera Alba (Beeswax) - thickening agent
  • Vanilla Extract - antioxidant
  • Iron Oxides - colorant

How it works

The balm functions by combining the moisturizing properties of coconut oil, which helps to retain skin moisture, with the UV-filtering capability of zinc oxide to offer sun protection. Beeswax acts as a thickening agent, contributing to the balm's consistency. Vanilla extract is included for its antioxidant properties, which can help in protecting the skin from environmental stressors. Iron oxides provide a natural tint to the balm, allowing it to blend with the skin tone while providing these protective and moisturizing benefits.
