HARNESSING ZINC OXIDE AND MAAs FOR ULTIMATE DAILY PROTECTION
Seaflora’s Natural Sun Shield Facial Moisturizer is a revolutionary blend of oceanic botanicals and mineral protection, designed to nourish and shield your skin naturally. This vegan, organic and cruelty free formula harnesses the power of raw Nereocystis, Alaria, Fucus, and Laminaria seaweeds, rich in Mycosporine-like Amino Acids (MAAs), combined with zinc oxide for comprehensive skin care.
Our unique moisturizer absorbs quickly, leaving no white residue, making it perfect for daily use by all skin types and ages.

I got to test the product before it was launched. The new Sun Shield Facial Moisturizer is amazing! It smells absolutely fantastic! Goes on easy and doesn’t feel greasy and best of all it worked great on my fair skin. I would compare it to an SPF 30 as far as protection goes.
