Explainer On Our 3 Sunscreens: What They Are And How To Pick The Right One For You

On our mission to create a simple, joyful, and effective skincare regime, we knew that we’d have to pay special attention to one of the essential steps: using sun protection. We also understood that one sunscreen won’t work on every skin type. That’s why our team of experts created three sunscreens with unique formulations and textures to suit your specific needs. Some key features your sunscreen should have irrespective of the type: a broad spectrum formulation (that protects against UVA/UVB rays), that is reef-safe (free from oxybenzone, avobenzone, octocrylene, and octinoxate), spreads uniformly on the skin and no white cast.

 

Still confused? We’ve broken it down for you! Discover details about our three sunscreens and find the one that’s right for you.

Patchouli Glow Sunscreen Drops

The Patchouli Glow Sunscreen Drops

 

Patchouli Glow SPF 40 PA+++ sunscreen drops is a nourishing, lightweight, oil-based formulation enriched with the goodness of patchouli and ceramides. The non-greasy sunscreen oil drops are replete with a protective shield of patchouli leaf extract and ceramides to nourish and enrich your skin. The lightweight formulation is absorbed into your skin seamlessly without leaving a white cast.

Loaded with antioxidants that fight off free radicals caused by the sun, it protects you from UVA and UVB radiations. Patchouli is revered for its regenerative abilities which help improve skin texture and appearance. The extract has calming properties that help soothe skin irritated due to sun exposure or environmental stressors. Meanwhile, ceramides help retain hydration, keeping the skin soft, supple, and glowing.

Who should use it?

If your skin needs extra nourishment, radiance, moisture, along with sun protection, Patchouli Glow is the right pick for you. Mature skin can benefit from nourishing oils that work similarly to natural sebum and promote a youthful appearance. In cold or harsh climates, oil-based sunscreen can create a protective barrier from extreme weather conditions and help retain moisture.

Turmeric Shield Sunscreen Serum

Who should use it?

Licorice Beam Sunscreen Gel
