Sun Shield for Mama
Full Ingredient List
| Ingredient | What it is, where it comes from, and why it's here |
|---|---|
| Purified Water (Aqua) | The base of the formula. Water purified to remove minerals, chlorine, and impurities. |
| EcoSunsafe™ Defense Plus | A next-generation UV filter complex that amplifies the SPF performance of the physical blockers. Free from Oxybenzone, Octinoxate, and Avobenzone. Clinically tested and certified non-irritant. This complex contains: |
| Ethylhexyl Triazone | A highly efficient UVB filter that absorbs the rays responsible for sunburn and skin damage. One of the most photostable UVB filters available, meaning it does not break down in sunlight and maintains its protective performance throughout wear. Approved for use in sunscreens across Europe, Asia, and India. |
| Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine | A broad-spectrum filter that covers both UVA and UVB rays. It is also a photostabiliser — meaning it prevents the other UV filters in the formula from degrading in sunlight, keeping the entire system performing consistently from first application to last. One of the most advanced UV filters currently available. |
| Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate | A UVA filter that specifically targets the longer UVA wavelengths responsible for skin ageing, pigmentation, and deeper skin damage. Works synergistically with the other two UV filters to ensure complete coverage across the full UV spectrum. |
| Phenoxyethanol | A gentle, globally accepted preservative included at a very low concentration to keep the complex stable and safe throughout its shelf life. The same preservative used across many baby and sensitive skin products worldwide. |
| Aqua (Purified Water) | The carrier base that allows the UV filter components to be evenly distributed and delivered into the formula consistently. |
| Glycerin | A plant-derived humectant that draws moisture into the skin and holds it there throughout sun exposure. |
| Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride | Derived from coconut oil. Gives the formula its lightweight texture and helps other ingredients spread and absorb evenly. |
| Isopropyl Myristate | Helps the sunscreen spread smoothly and evenly, contributing to the lightweight, no-residue finish. |
| Ethylhexylglycerin and Phenoxyethanol | A gentle, globally accepted preservative system. Safe during pregnancy at approved concentrations. Used as an alternative to parabens. |
| Triethanolamine | A pH-adjusting ingredient used in very small amounts in cosmetic formulations. Its purpose in these products is to bring the formula to the correct pH level — the level at which the skin is most safe, comfortable. It is not present as an active ingredient. |
| Carbomer | A safe, widely used thickening agent that gives the sunscreen its consistent, lightweight gel texture. |
| Beta Vulgaris (Beetroot) Root Extract | A powerful antioxidant rich in betalains. Supports skin radiance, evens tone, and provides additional protection against oxidative stress from sun exposure. |
| Rubus Idaeus (Raspberry) Seed Extract | Rich in Vitamin E, Vitamin A, and Omega fatty acids. Provides natural antioxidant protection against UV-induced free radical damage. |
| Pongamia Glabra (Karanja) Seed Oil | A botanically derived oil with natural UV-supporting properties and strong anti-inflammatory action. Traditionally used in Ayurvedic skincare for its skin-protective benefits. |
| Laminaria Japonica and Sargassum Fusiforme (Algae) Extract | Deep sea botanicals rich in minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants. Deliver intense hydration and help defend skin against environmental aggressors. |
| Perfume | Water Lily EU:A fresh, clean fragrance used at less than 0.5%. IFRA-compliant and chosen for its suitability in a daily-use product during pregnancy and postpartum. |
| Allantoin | A naturally occurring compound known for its ability to soothe irritation and promote skin cell renewal. It softens skin and supports the healing of dry or damaged areas. |
| Polysorbate 20 | A gentle, plant-derived stabiliser that keeps all formula components evenly distributed. |
| Sodium Gluconate | Derived from glucose. Neutralises mineral ions in the formula base and supports the preservative system. |
| Zinc Oxide | A physical mineral UV filter that reflects UVA and UVB rays without absorbing into the skin. Safe for daily use during pregnancy. |
| Titanium Dioxide | Works alongside Zinc Oxide for complete broad-spectrum UV coverage.. |
| Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid) | A deeply penetrating form of Hyaluronic Acid that holds up to 1000x its weight in water. Delivers deep hydration while skin is being defended from UV. Ensures the sunscreen actively improves skin condition rather than just protecting it. |
| Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil | Mimics the skin's natural oils. Keeps skin balanced and comfortable without heaviness or greasiness. |
| Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E) | Antioxidant protection against UV-induced oxidative damage. Supports skin health with daily use. |
| Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera) Leaf Extract | soothes and hydrates skin throughout sun exposure. Calms sensitivity and refreshes. |
