Summer is here with sun and swimming. Many of us want to get a beautiful tan and we are of course grateful that the sun helps us create the necessary vitamin D when its UVB rays reach our skin. But too much sun can burn us and damage our skin. When choosing sun protection, organic sunscreens are preferable. It's also better to choose physical sunscreens instead of chemical ones, since the chemical ones may contain nanoparticles and other unpleasant chemicals.
Alga Maris
Alga Maris sunscreens are organic with physical protection. They are manufactured by the French company Laboratories de Biarritz. They also have their own patented Alga-Gorria extract from red seaweed, which neutralizes free radicals and protects against skin damage caused by sun rays.
Sunspray for Body and Face
Alga Maris sunsprays are suitable for both body and face. It resembles a sun lotion, but thanks to its thin consistency, it's very easy to apply and the white film that usually forms from natural sunscreen is barely noticeable.
Usage
It's very easy to use as it comes in a practical spray tube. First shake the tube and spray on the body. Rub in thoroughly. Remember to apply several times during the day and especially after swimming. The sunspray is suitable for both adults and children over 3 years of age. It's available with both SPF30 and SPF50 for those who burn easily or want to be extra cautious. For children, at least SPF50 protection is always recommended. Babies and children under 3 years should be protected with clothing and a sun hat.
Ingredients
It contains natural, vegetable oils such as sunflower oil and coconut oil that nourish the skin. Titanium dioxide and zinc oxide provide the physical protection that shields the skin against both UVA and UVB radiation. It also contains their own patented Alga-Gorria extract from red seaweed, which neutralizes free radicals and protects against skin damage caused by sun rays. You can choose between one with a natural and delightful coconut scent or one that is fragrance-free for those with fragrance sensitivities, pregnant women, and children.The sunspray is safe for coral reefs, aquatic organisms and marine life, and is also vegan-friendly. 100% of the ingredients are of natural origin and 12-31% are from organic farming depending on which sunspray you choose. It contains no nanoparticles, chemical filters, drying alcohol, synthetic fragrances or colors, parabens or phenoxyethanol, petroleum-based or animal ingredients.
Tinted Sunscreen for the Face
This is two products in one. Tinted Face Sun Cream is a tinted sunscreen for the face and therefore doubles as a beauty product. It evens out skin tone and gives a nice glow. This makes it a perfect product to use instead of foundation as it simultaneously provides effective sun protection. It comes in three different shades: ivory (lightest), beige and golden (darkest). You can also choose between SPF30 and SPF50.
Usage
Pump out and apply over face and neck in the morning. It absorbs quickly into the skin and gives a nice tone but is not full coverage.
Reapply during the day as needed and after swimming.
Ingredients
Just like the sunspray, this also consists of natural ingredients. 99.6% of the ingredients are of natural origin and 22.9% of the ingredients come from organic farming. This has a natural mild vanilla scent. The sunscreen guarantees high natural sun protection against both UVA and UVB rays thanks to the physical filter from zinc oxide and titanium dioxide.
This one also contains Alga Maris' patented Alga-Gorria extract that comes from red seaweed. The extract neutralizes free radicals and protects against skin damage caused by sun rays. This one is also vegan-friendly.
