This water-in-oil, zinc oxide-only sunscreen cream provides SPF 50+ sun protection without using organic UV filters. PEG-free Olivem® 2090, the only emulsifier used in this cold process, is a 100% naturally-derived ingredient that provides superior hydration and sensoriality. Hallstar’s innovative Micah® proactively protects the skin from photoaging damage. In vitro analysis suggests SPF ~ 65, PFA (PPD COLIPA 2011) ~ 20, UVA1/UV = 0.80, and critical wavelength 371 nm.
