The ingredients and their benefits in detail:

• Zinc oxide: protects your skin by absorbing UVA and UVB rays.
• Sweet almond milk: nourishes and moisturizes the skin.
• Aloe Vera: is the ultimate natural moisturizer.
• Sunflower oil: is antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial.
• Coconut oil: has anti-inflammatory and protective effects.
• Calendula: has an anti-inflammatory and soothing effect.
• Silicate: is a naturally occurring mineral. It is used to coat zinc particles so that they spread easily and evenly on the skin.
• Candelilla wax: comes from a small desert shrub called Euphorbia Cerifera. It softens and soothes the skin while helping to bind ingredients in cosmetic formulations.
• Oryzanol Rice Bran Oil Extract: is a lipid blend derived from rice and used for its antioxidant properties.
• Tocopherol: is a form of vitamin E derived from plant oils. It acts as both an antioxidant and a skin conditioning agent. It also has anti-inflammatory properties.
• Cetyl Palmitate: it is an ester used both as a thickener and as an emollient (nourishes the skin surface). It is 100% of plant origin.
• Lecithin: is extracted from sunflower oil. Lecithin is a natural component of the skin's cell membranes. It contributes to the hydration and elasticity of the skin.
• Citric acid: is a natural antioxidant used to balance the pH of cosmetics.
• Caprylic triglycerides: are produced by esterifying glycerin (vegetable sugar) with mixtures of capric fatty acids from coconut oil. They give the skin a silky (rather than greasy) feel, especially in anhydrous formulations.

• "Chemical sunscreens" don't sound very appealing, and recent research has shown that their ingredients, such as oxybenzone, avobenzone, octisalate, octocrylene, homosalate and octinoxate, can be harmful because they penetrate the bloodstream and sometimes exceed the permissible limits by up to 40 times.
• Mineral sunscreens, on the other hand, use natural minerals like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide that sit on top of the skin and repel the harmful UV rays. The FDA has declared them safe and effective, with zinc oxide being the best choice as it blocks both UVA and UVB rays.
• What is important in this context is that these are "non-nano particles" because nano particles are smaller than 100 nanometers and can easily penetrate the skin and bloodstream. Sol de Ibiza only uses non-nano zinc oxide to protect your skin without causing any harmful side effects.
• While inactive ingredients don't directly protect you from the sun, they affect the texture, scent and shelf life of your sunscreen. Unfortunately, many sunscreens contain preservatives and synthetic fragrances that can irritate sensitive skin. Sol de Ibiza only uses safe and proven non-irritating inactive ingredients.
• There are some frightening statistics that prove what we already know - the sun can be relentless on skin, especially in Europe, where over 106,000 new cases of skin cancer are diagnosed each year. Sol de Ibiza is here to help you ensure that your skin's health doesn't come at the expense of harsh chemicals and microplastics. Sol de Ibiza sunscreen is designed to be gentle on your skin and the environment, but still offer maximum protection. With Sol de Ibiza, you can enjoy the sun, confident that your body and everything around it is well taken care of.
