How it works

The sunscreen utilizes a combination of chemical and physical UV filters, such as Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane and Titanium Dioxide, to create a protective layer on the skin. These ingredients work together to absorb and reflect UV radiation, potentially reducing its harmful effects on the skin. C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate acts as an emollient, helping to keep the skin smooth and enhancing the spreadability of the product. Octocrylene and other stabilizers help ensure that the UV filters maintain their effectiveness when exposed to sunlight. This blend aims to offer broad-spectrum protection while maintaining a lightweight, non-greasy feel similar to a moisturizer.
