Summer is here with sun and swimming. Many of us want to get a beautiful tan, and of course, we are grateful that the sun helps us produce the necessary vitamin D when its UVB rays reach our skin. But too much sun can cause sunburn and damage the skin.
When choosing sun protection, organic sunscreens are preferable. It is also better to choose physical sunscreens instead of chemical ones, as chemical sunscreens may contain nanoparticles and other unpleasant chemicals.
Alga Maris
Laboratories de Biarritz produces organic sunscreens with physical protection under the name Alga Maris. 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.
Sun spray for body and face
Alga Maris sun sprays are suitable for both body and face. It resembles a sun lotion, but thanks to its thin consistency, it is very easy to apply and the white film that usually forms from natural sunscreen is barely noticeable.
Usage
It is very easy to use as it comes in a practical spray tube. Shake the tube first and spray on the body. Rub in thoroughly.
Remember to apply several times during the day, especially after swimming.
The sun spray is suitable for both adults and children over 3 years old.
It is available with both SPF30 and SPF50 for those who burn easily or want to be extra cautious. For children, at least SPF50 is always recommended as protection.
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 from 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 lovely coconut scent or a fragrance-free version for those sensitive to scents, pregnant women, and children.
The sun spray 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% come from organic farming depending on which sun spray you choose.
It does not contain nanoparticles, chemical filters, drying alcohol, synthetic fragrances or colors, parabens or phenoxyethanol, petroleum-based or animal ingredients.
Tinted sun protection for the face
This is two products in one. Tinted Face Sun Cream is a tinted sunscreen for the face and therefore also 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 also 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 the face and neck in the morning. It absorbs quickly into the skin and gives a nice tone but is not covering.
Reapply during the day as needed and after swimming.
Ingredients
Just like the sun spray, this also consists of natural ingredients. 99.6% of the ingredients are of natural origin and 22.9% come from organic farming. This one has a natural mild vanilla scent.
The sunscreen guarantees high natural protection against both UVA and UVB rays thanks to the physical filter from zinc oxide and titanium dioxide.
This also contains Alga Maris’ patented Alga-Gorria extract from red seaweed. The extract neutralizes free radicals and protects against skin damage caused by sun rays. This one is also vegan-friendly.
