Antipodes Supernatural SPF50+ Ceramide Silk Facial Sunscreen — 100% Natural-Origin Mineral Sun Protection with Zero White Cast
Unprotected skin is the primary driver of premature ageing, pigmentation, and barrier degradation — this next-generation mineral sunscreen addresses all three simultaneously. Formulated with 100% natural-origin ingredients, its silky, luminous texture glides on without residue or white cast, sitting seamlessly beneath makeup for effortless daily wear. Beyond protection, it actively nurtures skin with Ceramide III and nourishing plant oils, so your complexion is not merely defended — it is visibly refined.
| Ingredient | INCI Name | Concentration | Function | Skin Benefit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Zinc Oxide | Zinc Oxide | High | Mineral UV Filter (Broad-Spectrum) | Physically blocks UVA & UVB rays; non-irritating and well-tolerated by sensitive skin |
| Ceramide III | Ceramide NP (N-stearoyl phytosphingosine) | Mid | Barrier-Restoration Agent / Emollient | Reinforces the lipid matrix, restores moisture retention, and softens visible signs of ageing |
| Coconut Oil | Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil | Mid | Emollient / Conditioning Agent | Conditions and softens skin; delivers essential fatty acids to support barrier integrity |
Zinc oxide forms a physical, mineral shield on the skin's surface, scattering and reflecting both UVA and UVB radiation before it penetrates the dermis — preventing the photooxidative damage that drives collagen degradation, melanin overproduction, and premature ageing. Ceramide III works in tandem by replenishing the skin's intercellular lipid matrix, restoring the ceramide levels that UV exposure and environmental aggressors deplete, thereby strengthening barrier function and reducing transepidermal water loss. Coconut oil contributes a rich profile of essential fatty acids that further condition the stratum corneum, while the collective formulation delivers a luminous, skin-unifying finish that helps minimise the appearance of hyperpigmentation over continued use. ---
