NATURAL SUN SHIELD FACIAL MOISTURIZER

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. Powerful UV Protection: MAAs absorb UV radiation and convert it to heat, shielding your skin cells without generating harmful reactive oxygen species. Zinc oxide creates a physical barrier against both UVA and UVB rays, offering broad-spectrum protection.
