Clean Mattifying Sunscreens

REN's Reef-Friendly Sun Care Protects Without Damaging Ecosystems

REN Clean Skincare is adding to its free-from product collection with a mattifying sunscreen that is lightweight yet protective, as well as reef-safe. The Clean Screen Mineral SPF 30 is free from silicone and chemical UV filters, plus it features a nano-free version of zinc oxide that provides UVA, UVB and blue light protection.

Some of the key ingredients in the clean sunscreen include antioxidant-rich yellow passion fruit seed extract to boost the body's natural defense system, as well as rice extract, which plays a part in absorbing oil, controlling shine and creating the perfect matte finish and foundation for makeup.

REN notes that its Clean Screen Mineral SPF 30 "goes beyond ordinary sun protection," as it also helps to shield the skin from pollutants, reduce signs of visible aging and soothe skin.
