Description

Apothekari Shade SPF 30 Mineral Sunscreen formulated with 13.5% zinc oxide (ZinClear) to deliver broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection against sun exposure. Health Canada approved, it is suitable for all skin types and it also offers healing, soothing and calming properties. Red algae extract (a UV absorbing substance) and ergothioneine (a natural antioxidant and amino acid, which prevents UV damage) offer additional UV protection and help support against free radical damage.

Apothekari Shade SPF 30 Mineral Sunscreen is non-whitening, designed for all skin types and is gluten free. It is an absolute must-have for anyone concerned about the health of their skin.

In addition to protection against UVA and UVB rays, Apothekari Shade SPF 30 was formulated to provide extra protection against free-radical damage generated by UV exposure. Red algae and ergothioneine are special free-radical scavengers that support the Mitochondria DNA from the endogenous issues of stress and other health challenges.

Key Ingredients:

• Zinc Oxide. Broad spectrum protection from UVA and UVB exposure which also promotes healing, soothes and calms the skin
• Thiotaine® (ergothioneine). Natural antioxidant and amino acid, prevents damage caused by UV radiation, recycles Vitamin C, assures efficient energy production, inhibits Tyrosinase (responsible for melanin production)
• Porphyra Umbilicalis (Red Algae) Extract – Organism that lives in shallow water where it is exposed to extreme UV radiation, produces the most powerful UV-absorbing substances in nature, and the extract itself absorbs both UVA and UVB light

Directions: Apply to clean skin 15 minutes before sun exposure. For daily use, allow the product to absorb completely before applying make-up. Product should be “patted” on, not rubbed in. Not water resistant – use a water resistant sunscreen if sweating or swimming. Reapply frequently.

For the ultimate in skin protection, apply Shade SPF 30 in conjunction with our Apothekari Bespoke Vitamin C Serum for unparalleled UVA/UVB and free radical protection.
