The reef-safe, 100% non-nano, non-toxic zinc SPF 30 sunscreen is designed to be not only protective but also immensely hydrating. The lightweight lotion is formulated to sink into the skin without leaving behind a white cast, all the while creating a calming and cooling effect that will surely be appreciated under the heat of the sun. While the product is ideal for use in the summertime, it is also valuable as a moisturizing daily protector to support even those with the most sensitive skin.
