The Drunk Elephant D-Bronzi [Anti-Pollution Sunshine Serum](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anti-pollution-serum) is a new clean skincare product from the brand that boasts some makeup-like properties. While the product has a gel-like serum consistency, it promises to do so much more for the skin by offering protection from pollution as well as a [bronzed glow](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beach-freak-bronzer-stick). On top of this, the product is brimming with nourishing, antioxidant-rich ingredients, from the brand's signature marula oil to cocoa powder.

When it comes to using the product, Drunk Elephant advises that consumers mix a pump into other daytime skincare products, such as sunscreen, an oil, a moisturizer or even another serum. The versatile product also has the potential to be used as a [self-tanner](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/self-tan-drops) when it is combined with lotion, cream or a body oil.
