The best spf

Hydrating spf balm is exactly as advertised. My sensitive skin seems happy and glowy every time I apply this spf-which keeps me applying! Normally sunscreens irritate my face, even the natural and gentle ones. I’ve been so happy to have stumbled upon this company.

A Must Have!

This compact power-house SPF is a must have to complete your skincare suncare set! From its application and smell, to the durable tin and the balm benefits, this is everything you want and more. Love to use before daily workouts or even to moisturize the lips after a long surf. Don't wait - run and grab yours!

Feels moisturizing!

I've had the chance to use it a few times so far, even took it on a backpacking trip because of how compact and light it is! I have only used it on my lips, and appreciate how moisturized my lips feel with it. The only thing for me is that sometimes I do have a hard time opening the container.

My favorite spf balm!

This balm is so much better than other balms I have used for surfing. It is very smooth and applies very easily, it doesn’t feel like I’m tearing my skin while applying. It sticks very well and the tint is a nice color! I even use it for the back of my hands and it stays on for a while.

Awesome

I love using the Hydrating Sun Balm- it isn't greasy and makes my skin feel soft. I usually hate wearing sun block but I love using this one. It doesn't make my skin break out.

Hero Ingredient

Non-Nano Zinz Oxide
Ever heard of non-nano zinc oxide? A true mineral sunscreen, non-nano zinc oxide is recognized by dermatologists as the most effective broad-spectrum UVA/UVB sun protection. And that’s not all…Antimicrobial and non-comedogenic, it can help reduce redness, and help your skin regain its balance.

Non-nano means the particles are too large to absorb into your skin, instead providing a physical barrier between your cells and the sun’s rays. Talk about performance suncare. 

Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid is well known as one of the most effective humectants, it helps retain moisture and keep the skin hydrated, plump, and supple. Additionally, it can help restore the skin's natural barrier function, which shields it from external aggressors. With daily use, hyaluronic acid can rejuvenate the skin's texture, leaving it looking radiant and glowing.

Squalane
Squalane is a non-comedogenic and lightweight oil that effectively hydrates and nourishes the skin. Its properties contribute to enhancing skin elasticity and brightening the complexion. Additionally, it contains anti-inflammatory and antibacterial benefits, which help soothe skin irritation and prevent breakouts.

Its omega fatty acids nourish and protect the skin, helping to maintain a healthy and vibrant appearance. Moreover, sea buckthorn can also brighten the skin, even out skin tone, and improve its radiance.
