We formulated our sunscreen with Safflower Oleotech™, a proprietary ingredient complex that uniquely delivers all-day hydration through time-release technology. It works to powerfully and continuously infuse skin with vitamin E enriched safflower extract and encapsulated oleosomes (natural oil droplets found in plants). We also combined this with cold-pressed, organic sunflower seed oil and antioxidant-rich shea butter to simultaneously condition and soften skin. These three key ingredients work together to strengthen the skin barrier while delivering long-lasting hydration, for skin that never feels tight or dry even while swimming or sweating.  

We chose to formulate using zinc oxide over chemical filters (like oxybenzone and octinoxate) because safety is always our top priority. Our non-nano zinc oxide contains particles that are larger than 100 nanometers– a safe-for-skin particle size that sits on top of the skin without absorbing into the bloodstream. It’s also reef-safe, safe for sensitive skin, and safe for use during pregnancy. In our book, 100% non-nano mineral = 100% worry-free protection. 

There are many benefits to using a fluid sunscreen, but we like to think our formula checks all the boxes (and then some). The sheer texture means you don’t have to spend excess time blending to avoid leaving behind a white cast on skin—our fluid, serum-like formula is silky and velvety on the skin, not sticky, thick, or chalky. It’s easy to apply (even on squirmy kids!) and absorbs quickly so you can spend more time having fun in the sun. Suitable for all skin tones and skin types, even sensitive skin.
