*SPF 25 Broad Spectrum UVA/UVB natural mineral sunscreen
*Transparent, non nano Zinc Oxide recipe
*Made with a base of organic herb infusions and vitamin rich seed oils
*Features antioxidant-rich Astaxanthin red algae extract
While many sunscreens focus on being just a barrier product this recipe is dense with antioxidants, vitamins, phytonutrients and skin supportive compounds.
Photonic has a lovely pink hue to it, but it's not just a tint, it's Astaxanthin. This red algae ingredient is grown in controlled tanks in Hawaii and produces a super pure CO2 oleoresin extract. Astaxanthin has a good deal of study behind it showing its antioxidant action and ability to support the body in stressful situations like sun exposure. The hue will disappear into your natural skin tone without changing it. That's the magic of colorful nutrients.
The Zinc Oxide that Blissoma has used is a micronized, non-nano, transparent zinc. Zinc oxide offers stable, broad spectrum protection that chemical sunscreens just cannot match. Many chemical sunscreens absorb only UVA or UVB light. UVA absorbent chemical sunscreens are notoriously unstable. They degrade when exposed to sunlight, right when you need them most! Minerals like zinc have no such problem, as they reflect both types of rays easily.
HOW TO USE
Use this as a complete replacement to daily moisturizer, or choose to layer with a serum or moisturizer underneath for extra nourishment. We do recommend that Photonic be applied as a final layer in the skincare routine so as not to disturb the distribution of the mineral on skin. Therefore oil serums should *not* be applied on top of this product as the oils could move the zinc around.
