Baie Botanique Organic Mineral Facial Sunscreen SPF 50 — Reef-Safe Broad-Spectrum Protection with Luminous, Skin-Nourishing Actives
Prolonged UV exposure accelerates collagen degradation, triggers pigmentation, and compromises the skin barrier — this award-winning mineral sunscreen addresses all three while doubling as a hydrating skincare step. Formulated around EcoCert-certified, non-nano ZinClear XP Zinc Oxide, it delivers seamless, weightless coverage with zero white cast, leaving the complexion visibly luminous and supple. It is the rare SPF that protects both your skin and the ocean, meeting the highest standards of reef safety, organic certification, and dermatological integrity.

At the core of this formulation, EcoCert-certified non-nano ZinClear XP Zinc Oxide sits on the skin's surface and physically deflects UVA, UVB, UVC, and High-Energy Visible (Blue Light) radiation without chemical absorption or photodegradation, making it 100% photostable and safe for prolonged aquatic environments. Sodium Hyaluronate simultaneously reinforces the skin's moisture reservoir by binding water within the epidermis, counteracting the transepidermal water loss that UV stress accelerates. The antioxidant triad of Kakadu Plum, Vitamin C, and Sea Buckthorn delivers a layered free-radical quenching response — inhibiting melanin overproduction, scavenging reactive oxygen species, and supporting endogenous collagen synthesis. Calendula completes the formula by modulating inflammatory path
