Key Ingredients

  • BURITI OIL - Richest natural source of beta-carotene – known as an excellent natural antioxidant. It is this high natural beta-carotene concentration that protects the skin against photo-damage and, also helps to protect the membranes surrounding skin cells, which keeps the skin cells healthy for longer.
  • ORGANIC RICE BRAN OIL - contains vitamin E which absorbs UV rays and reduces UV-induced free radical damage to your skin. It also repairs any damage.
  • ORGANIC GREEN TEA OIL - The green tea polyphenol- epigallocatechin gallate can protect human cellular DNA from ultraviolet and visible radiation-induced damage. Rich in polyphenols that protect our skin from UV damage. It’s also incredibly helpful if you drink it!
  • GINKO BILOBA EXTRACT - Studies have found this to be an excellent choice for photoprotection when combined with seaweed extract. So we added both.
  • ASTAXANTHIN - is produced by marine algae to protect themselves when stressed. It is responsible for the “bright orange” colour in salmon, shrimp & even flamingos! Our research shows it can have incredible photoprotective & nourishing properties for skin. It is 6000 x more powerful than Vitamin C! 500 x greater than Vit E & Green Tea.
  • ORGANIC GRAPESEED - Research shows that when grape seed extract is applied to skin prior to UV light exposure, the compounds may have a sunscreen effect, helping to reduce redness and damage to cells.
  • RED RASPBERRY SEED oil - Well known for its excellent UVA coverage. According to a 2000 study, raspberry seed oil offers UVA + UVB protection similar to titanium dioxide with a 28-50 SPF protection factor against UVB rays and 8 SPF against UVA rays. Mixed with other oils & extracts boosts both UVA & UVB
