• Lightweight texture with rice powder for a natural finish.
• Waterproof.
• No added perfume.

How it works on the skin

The filters in this formula are minerals: zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. These are particles that remain on the skin's surface and reflect, scatter, and absorb some of the ultraviolet radiation (UVB and UVA) before it penetrates. They are in nano form, as indicated on the official label with the word [nano]: the reduced size of the particles allows the cream to spread more easily and leaves less of a white cast.

Rice powder absorbs some of the excess oil and leaves a natural finish. Plum kernel and sunflower oils soften the skin, glycerin and aloe vera help retain moisture, and Gelidium sesquipedale extract (Alga-Gorria®) and vitamin E protect the formula from oxidation.

Sunscreen forms a layer of filters on the skin that reduces the amount of ultraviolet radiation that reaches it. None offer complete protection, nor do they replace shade and clothing. However, applying it in sufficient quantity and reapplying it frequently can help protect the skin during sun exposure.

Ingredients and active ingredients of the formula

These are the most relevant components of the formula:

• Zinc oxide [nano] and titanium dioxide [nano]: mineral sunscreens.
• Organic plum kernel and sunflower oils: They soften the skin.
• Organic rice powder (Oryza sativa): It provides a natural finish.
• Organic aloe vera leaf juice powder and glycerin: They help maintain hydration.
• Gelidium sesquipedale extract (Alga-Gorria®): red algae from the Basque coast.
• Tocopherol (vitamin E): protects the formula against oxidation.

Their role is cosmetic: they protect and care for the skin during sun exposure.

application instructions

Apply a generous and even amount to the face before sun exposure.

• Reapply frequently, at least every 2 hours and always after bathing, sweating or toweling off.
• Apply it as the last step in your skincare routine.
• Suitable during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Precautions: Do not stay in the sun for extended periods, even while using sunscreen. Keep babies and young children out of direct sunlight. Overexposure to the sun is a major health risk. Applying an insufficient amount significantly reduces the level of protection. Avoid sun exposure between 12 pm and 4 pm, or protect yourself with clothing, a hat, and sunglasses. No sunscreen offers complete protection. Contains plum kernel oil. Avoid contact with eyes; if contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. For external use only.
