How it works

This sunscreen uses Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide, both non-nano, to provide protection against UV rays. The inclusion of Sr-wasp spider polypeptide-1 oligopeptide-178 aims to offer protection by forming a barrier on the skin's surface, while Porphyra Umbilicalis Extract adds support to the skin barrier. Squalane functions as a moisturizing agent, helping to maintain skin hydration, and DL-Alpha Tocopherol provides antioxidant properties which may help to protect skin from oxidative stress. The formulation's water resistance is enhanced by a plant-based polymer, and Bentonite contributes as a thickening agent, ensuring the product maintains consistency during extended outdoor activities.
