All Kinds of Good (Our Ingredients)

Posted on March 24, 2023


Our Daily Tinted Mineral Sunscreen Is Good for You and for Your Planet. 

It's reef-safe, biodegradable, certified organic, vegan, cruelty free, dermatologically tested, and safe during pregnancy, breastfeeding and beyond.

Here's a bit more about our skin-loving heroes.

What It's Called

& What it Comes From

What It Does

Jojoba Seed Oil

Jojoba plant

A natural skin conditioner and moisturizer with anti-oxidant properties, jojoba is a skin superfood that soothes and softens the skin, fights aging and can help heal wounds. Resembling our skin’s natural sebum, jojoba absorbs quickly and is rich in vitamin B, copper and zinc.

Calendula Extract

Calendula plant

Another skin superfood with antioxidant, moisturising, soothing, anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, healing and antiseptic properties. Calendula helps hydrate and regenerate dry or damaged skin, supporting a healthy glow.

Candelilla Wax

Candelilla plant (a small desert shrub)

Candelilla wax is an excellent vegan alternative to beeswax. It is a thickening agent, emulsifier and water repellent that smooths and conditions the skin, is easily absorbed and is rich in nutrients.

Sunflower Seed Oil

Sunflower plant

A non-comedogenic, anti-inflammatory carrier oil that’s great for all skin types. High in linoleic acid, oleic acid and Vitamin E, Sunflower Seed Oil soothes the skin while strengthening its natural barrier, improving hydration and reducing inflammation.

Polyglyceryl-3-Polyricinoleate

Castor plant

Often found in chocolates, Polyglyceryl-3-Polyricinoleate is a silky smooth, non-greasy emulsifier that helps water- and oil-based
ingredients mix together.

Non-Nano Zinc Oxide

Naturally-sourced zinc

The broadest spectrum UV filter considered by the U.S. FDA to be safe and effective, zinc oxide is also an essential nutrient for human health. With antiseptic and antimicrobial properties, zinc oxide is often used to treat dermatitis, eczema, diaper rash and acne. Zinc oxide blocks UVA and UVB rays, is non-comedogenic, non-irritating and non-allergenic.

What It's Called

& What it Comes From

What It Does

Tocopherol (Vitamin E)

Vegetable Oil

An antioxidant, skin hydrator and protector, Vitamin E reduces inflammation, aids healing, and protects skin from free radicals and the adverse effects of the sun.

Cetyl Acetate

Coconut Oil

A naturally-derived, hydrating emollient, Cetyl Acetate adds moisture to your skin’s lipid layer.

Isostearic Acid

Vegetable oil

Isostearic Acid is a natural emulsifier, dispersant and skin conditioner that helps distribute the zinc oxide particles throughout the sunscreen for even UV protection.

Xanthan Gum

Sucrose & glucose (sugar)

A natural gelling agent with antiseptic properties, Xanthan Gum stabilises and binds emulsions, while moisturising your skin.

Glycerine

Soybean Oil

A natural emulsifier derived from vegetable oils, Glycerine is a humectant that pulls water in, moisturising, softening, smoothing and protecting the skin.

Maltodextrin

Corn, rice, potato starch or wheat

A plant-based sugar, Maltodextrin is often used to thicken cosmetic formulas and foods.

Vanillin

Seeds of the vanilla plant

An organic fragrance

 

Some mineral goodies

What It's Called

What It Does

Iron Oxide (red, yellow & black)

Naturally-sourced iron

A non-toxic and non-allergenic mineral pigment, iron oxide has also been found to prevent sun-induced pigmentation (e.g. melasma) by protecting against visible light.

Potassium Cetyl Phosphate 

Esters of phosophoric acid and cetyl alcoho/

A gentle stabilising emulsifier and structurant often used in shampoos, cleansers, sunscreens and moisturisers. A potassium salt, potassium cetyl phosphate has a softening effect on skin.

Sodium Chloride

Salt

Sodium chloride (aka salt) is a natural preservative with antiseptic properties. It stabilises emulsions and smooths skin.

 

And that's it! 100% natural and effective.
