How it works

The product is formulated to provide sun protection by utilizing non-nano zinc oxide, which acts as a physical barrier blocking UV rays. Squalane, derived from plants, helps to lock in moisture, ensuring the skin remains hydrated. The inclusion of a unique vegan polypeptide contributes to skin conditioning by supporting the barrier function. Additional emollients such as coco-caprylate and caprylic triglycerides enhance smooth application and moisturization. Naturally derived coefficients like Pongamia Pinnata Seed Extract provide conditioning benefits, while DL-Alpha Tocopherol serves as an antioxidant to protect the skin from environmental stressors. Collectively, these ingredients aim to safeguard the skin from UV exposure, maintain hydration, and offer daily defense against pollutants and blue light.
