Ounce of Prevention Cream is a complete anti-aging solution: a moisturizer, an anti-wrinkle antioxidant cream, and a natural mineral-based sun protection product containing pure, non-nanoparticle zinc oxide which your skin will quickly absorb without leaving a white residue.

Thanks to its natural reflective capabilities, zinc oxide will protect you from all harmful UVA and UVB rays. The soothing and healing benefits of zinc oxide makes this sunscreen an excellent choice for sensitive and dry skin types.

This new formula of Ounce of Prevention Mineral Sun Cream contains no allergens and is enriched with some of the mightiest preventors of sun damage: antioxidant lycopene and green tea concentrate. Used daily as a full face and neck solution, this non-greasy formula helps to prevent premature ageing and improves skin radiance.

Active ingredients:

Zinc oxide (used at 18% concentration) is a physical sunblock. It reflects the whole spectrum of UV rays and prevents sunburn and DNA mutations. Unlike chemical sunscreens, zinc oxide does not penetrate the skin and does not create free radicals.

Lycopene is the most powerful carotenoid found in nature. It is a potent antioxidant naturally found in tomatoes, red carrots, watermelons, and papayas. Lycopene helps protect the skin's DNA against UV damage. According to the recent scientific research, lycopene neutralizes the harmful effects of UV light as it can inhibits the production of skin-damaging reactive free radicals. Lycopen also encourages formation of pro-collagen in our skin.

Green tea extract helps ward off free radical thanks to its high content of antioxidant epigallate catechins. It helps cool and soothe the skin which is also beneficial after prolonged sun exposure. In recent studies, green tea showed protective action against skin cancer in animals and also helped soothe rosacea in humans.

Other skin-protecting ingredients in our sun cream include argan, starflower, and black currant oils which support the skin with high levels of anti-inflammatory gamma-linoleic acids. Natural vitamin E and gluconolactone (natural sugar molecule) help moisturize the skin.

Directions for use:

Apply liberally before sun exposure. Massage gently into the skin until the cream disappears. Reapply after excessive sweating or swimming. Also suitable as a makeup base.
