BE A MARINE-LIFE ALLY
Chemicals and nanomaterials used in many standard sunscreens are harmful to us and the marine ecosystem.
These formulas get into the ocean either directly from swimmers and sun-bathers, or indirectly at home when you take a bath or shower.
Our mineral sunscreen is developed with a commitment to reef-friendly, natural ingredients that are safe for you, your family, and our oceans.
It is packaged in a 100% biodegradable and compostable tube, created using wheat plant stems that are commonly disposed of after harvesting the grain.
UV PROTECTION FROM NATURE
Our forward-thinking sunscreen is formulated to work with nature.
We use non-nano zinc oxide, a mineral and biodegradable filter that is not linked to any health concerns.
This ingredient helps reflect harmful UVA and UVB rays, providing all-round skin protection against sunburns and sunspots when used as directed.
NOURISHING & HYDRATING
Our moisturizing sunscreen is also made with 100% organic prickly pear seed oil, providing a concentration of antioxidants to fight premature aging, free-radicals, and to promote healthy cell renewal.
This elixir is combined with argan oil, jojoba oil, and shea butter to infuse the skin with moisture and vitamins, leaving it hydrated and nourished.
Its creamy formula doesn’t leave any white film or greasy residue behind.
FAQ
One of our top standards when formulating our
skincare products is to use ingredients that are not listed as potential
allergens, but because we focus on plant-derived extracts, some people may have
a sensitivity to a particular plant ingredient (fairly rare). If this is the
case, please stop using the products immediately and contact us to get a full
refund.
Yes, our mineral sunscreen is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. They use only natural or naturally derived ingredients that don’t irritate the skin. We carefully select all our ingredients, making sure they are 100% pure.
According
to the Canadian Dermatology Association, we should apply sunscreen every day on skin not covered by clothing when going outside. The sun emits harmful
UV rays year-round. Even on cloudy days, up to 80% of the sun’s harmful UV rays can penetrate the clouds.
The tube is made from wheat straw—a 100% biodegradable and renewable resource. It is created using wheat plant stems that are commonly disposed of after harvesting the grain, thus promoting a more circular economy and creating low to no waste.
When wheat straw is used to make bioplastic, it becomes compostable. It breaks down in a compost bin at a rate similar to paper (usually 3-6 months) and does not leave any toxic material behind, making the resulting compost perfect for nurturing future plant growth!
