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.
