Mineral Sunscreen Serum Boost
We're thrilled to finally share our sunscreen that's not only for sensitive skin, but it's comfortable, natural, it blends in, and it feels great on various complexions from oily, to dry, and everything in between. It's specifically formulated to use on the face, neck, chest, and hands, and it's gentle enough to use every day, all day. Just one to three well shaken drops on top of your toner or day serum is all it takes for all day wear. Our sunscreen serum boost is oil free, wax free, water free, alcohol free, extract free, artificial fragrance free, silicone free, and is 100% free of anything synthetic. It does it's job with just six skin-loving ingredients.
Non-Nano Zinc:
- Non-nano zinc oxide means that it doesn’t penetrate the skin. It creates a physical barrier that reflects and scatters the harmful UVA, UVB, and blue light rays. This helps to prevent premature aging and other sun-related damage.
- Sensitive Skin Approved: A safer alternative to the various chemical sunscreen and UV filters. Naturally anti-inflammatory properties work well with acne-prone and sensitive skin. And yes, it’s so safe and effective on delicate skin that it’s often used in diaper creams.
- Moisturizing: It can help to lock in the moisture from the day serums by offering a protective layer without absorbing into the skin like chemical sunscreens do.
- Skin Smoother: this natural mineral is light on the skin and adds a smooth texture to the complexion. It's also naturally water resistant.
- We only use non-nano zinc oxide, a safe UV filter that doesn't penetrate the skin while being a proven safe option for marine life and coral reefs.
Rose Geranium Hydrosol:
- Soothing: Known to calm skin inflammation, sensitive complexions, and irritation from the sun and outdoors.
- Balancing: It can help an oily complexion to regulate and balance the skin’s natural serum production. It helps to keep the skin feeling supple and healthy.
- Hydrating: Hydrating to dry skin, hormonal and active skin, and a complexion that produces a low oil production. Non-pore clogging, and it feels cooling for hot and sensitive skin.
Lactobacillus:
- Anti-Inflammatory: It helps to reduce visible signs of redness and inflammation. Naturally helps to protect the delicate microbiome and skin barrier.
- Skin Barrier Health: Helps to main a proper pH of the skin as well as a healthy microbiome. This in turn helps to reduce moisture loss from the skin’s surface and helps to promote youthful and strong skin.
- Age-Defying: The skin-loving probiotic helps to enhance our natural collagen production to help age-defy and keep skin glowing and resilient.
- Acne Fighting: Helps to combat redness caused by inflamed capillaries, injury, or infection. Can help to shrink acne breakouts and inflamed areas.
Radish Root Ferment:
- Natural Hyaluronic Acid: A natural and great source of hyaluronic acid to keep the skin hydrated. Unlike typical hyaluronic acid, this is plant based and is a natural ingredient that does not come from an animal source and it isn’t synthetically manufactured.
- Anti-Inflammatory: Can be helpful in reducing redness and swelling.
- Acne-Fighting and Sensitive Skin Benefits: Natural properties to fight harmful bacteria.
Xanthan Gum:
- Xanthan gum is a food grade ingredient that comes from the leaves of green vegetables. Adding it to our sunscreen helps its application, as well as the skin’s texture and appearance.
- Hydration: It’s a natural humectant in skincare, meaning that it helps to draw moisture from the air to the surface of the skin. It forms a light veil on the skin to help retain moisture and protection the complexion.
- Texture: With the addition of this ingredient, we can avoid heavy waxes or synthetic thickeners. Adding this helps give our sunscreen a texture that feels light and is easy to apply.
- Protection: As a light shield, it forms a protective barrier that protects our skin from the environment and outdoor elements that can stress skin and irritate it.
- Stabilizer: Our sunscreen is light and needs to be well shaken. Adding just a touch of this ingredient helps to stabilize the mixture within the bottle.
-
Moisturie Barrier: Vitamin E is both a natural emollient and a humectant. Together these benefits helps the skin's natural moisture barrier.
-
Antioxidant: It's a natural antioxidant that fights the UV rays and pollution that can cause premature aging and skin damage.
-
Skin Soother: Just a small amount can boost our skin's natural healing process, it can sooth a sunburn on the skin, and it helps strengthen the skin barrier.
-
Brightening: Dark spots, age spots, acne scarring, and an uneven complexion can be brightened by the natural antioxidants and natural vitamin content.
Because it works with your day serm or moisturizer, it's an across-the-board every day facial sunscreen that works with various complexions. It works synergistically with our botanical toners and day serums and can be worn alone or under makeup.
👉 Note: This serum boost was formulated specifically for the face and to work beautifully with all of our botanical toners and our moisturizing day serums. We know that we're all different, and we require different care of our complexions at different times. This is why is a 'sunscreen serum boost." You moisturize your skin with what works best for you, and then add a few drops of this sunscreen over your serum / moisturizer for that added layer of protection.

Shake well. After applying your botanical toner and day serum, shake the sunscreen serum boost well. Add one drop of sunscreen to your fingertips, blend between fingertips and apply to one area of the skin. We recommend applying one drop at a time: one drop for the forehead, one drop for the nose and cheek areas, and one drop for the chin area. It also works well on the neck and chest area, as well as on the tops of hands. It can be layered for heavier protection.
For best results, always empty the dropper back into the bottle when not in use. Store your sunscreen serum in an upright position and in moderate temperatures.
