Gentle Sun Cream SPF 30

$68.00

A botanical mineral sunscreen that treats sun protection as an act of deep skin care. Formulated with 18% non-nano zinc oxide for broad-spectrum UVA and UVB defense, this lightweight cream is built around a sophisticated base of rose and rose geranium hydrosols, astaxanthin, and probiotic lactobacillus ferment. It absorbs seamlessly into all skin tones, leaving skin microbiome-balanced, softly luminous, and genuinely nourished...protection that works as hard for your skin as it does against the sun.

PLANT ALLIES:

  • Astaxanthin — one of nature's most potent antioxidants, defends against UV-induced oxidative stress and supports skin longevity
  • Rose Geranium Hydrosol — a bacteria-balancing botanical that supports the skin's microbiome while imparting a fresh, grounding floral aroma
  • Sea Buckthorn Oil — rich in omega fatty acids and carotenoids, deeply restorative and antioxidant-dense

KEY BENEFITS:

  • Broad-spectrum mineral protection with zero white cast and a sheer, skin-like finish
  • Microbiome-supportive formula with probiotic lactobacillus ferment to keep skin in balance
  • Antioxidant-rich botanicals actively protect against environmental and UV-induced oxidative damage

Why We Love It

This is sun protection as a ritual...not a reluctant last step. It's the rare SPF that actually feels like skincare: effortlessly blendable, microbiome-balancing, and infused with the grounding floral notes of rose geranium. The astaxanthin makes it an antioxidant powerhouse beyond the zinc, and it leaves skin soft, luminous, and genuinely happy. It's the kind of product that makes reaching for sun protection feel like an act of love.
