Key Ingredients
Advanced UV Filters

A complex of premium chemical sun filters, carefully selected for their high performance, skin-friendly benefits and stability (effectiveness) in sunlight.

Moringa Extract

A powerful antioxidant that forms a protective shield against damage caused by environmental aggressors (such as air pollution and free radicals).

Carnosine

Naturally present in the skin, this protective peptide blocks skin-damaging sugars from binding to collagen in the skin in a process called glycation. This helps to prevent the formation of fine lines and wrinkles while shielding the skin against infrared damage.

Theobroma Cacao (pronounced Thee-uh-broh-muh Ka-cow) Seed Extract

Commonly known as cocoa seed extract, this powerful extract protects the skin from the damaging and ageing effects of blue light and free radicals.

Multi-Weight Hyaluronic Acid

With a unique ability to attract and retain more than 1,000 times its own weight in water, hyaluronic acid draws moisture from the lower layers of the skin into the upper layers. This leaves the complexion visibly nourished and supple.
