About the Product
Item 1680818
What it is: An all-physical facial sunscreen that helps prevent damage from UVA/UVB rays, reduces the appearance of dark spots, and protects against photo-aging without the use of chemical filters.
Skin Type: Normal, Dry, Combination, and Oily
Skincare Concerns: Dark Spots, Fine Lines and Wrinkles, and Uneven Texture
Highlighted Ingredients:
- Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide: Mineral sun filters that sit on top of skin to scatter, reflect, and absorb UVA/UVB rays; they are the only sunscreens with the ability to reflect and mitigate the effects of blue light (HEV).
- Black Rice Extract: Potent antioxidant that simultaneously targets collagen degradation while supporting collagen Type I production.
- Mela-C Complex (Melatonin and Vitamins C and E): A precise blend of melatonin, three different forms of vitamin C, and vitamin E that work together to prevent visible hyperpigmentation and dark spots, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and target collagen breakdown.
Ingredient Callouts: This product is gluten-free, cruelty-free, and comes in recyclable packaging and is reef-safe.
What Else You Need to Know: This hydrating SPF 50 is the highest FDA-allowed level of sun protection available. Your first line of defense against photo-aging and sun damage, this all-physical SPF reduces the appearance of dark spots, uneven skin tone, and signs of aging around the face. The melatonin defense complex features melatonin as well as three forms of vitamin C and one form of vitamin E, and potent antioxidants to fight free-radical damage and minimize and target the appearance of hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and wrinkles.
