Drunk Elephant relaunched its Umbra Sheer Mineral Cream SPF with a new and improved formula and three shades to better support all skin tones. Using mineral sunscreen can be challenging as it often leaves a white cast on darker skin tones, and with its new sun care trio, Drunk Elephans is making it easier for everyone to find a formula that looks and feels good for them.
Umbra Tinte and Umbra Cocoa are two new Mineral Cream SPF 30/PA+++ sun protection products and they're lightweight, sheer, blendable and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive ones. For these formulas, Drunk Elephant opted for zinc oxide to provide skin-friendly mineral broad-spectrum protection and excluded essential oils, silicones, fragrances, dyes and chemical sunscreens.
