Get your daily dose of sun protection with the Umbra Physical Daily Defense SPF 30 (90ml) from Drunk Elephant. As someone who has sensitive skin, finding sunscreens and other skincare products that work well for me can be difficult. Maybe if the formula wasn't so bad or it was improved, I MIGHT purchase it to use as a light layer over my other sunscreens. Unfortunately, these two properties for a surfactant usually mean that it is harsh on the skin, which is the case here as well. When we made Umbra, we tested it on every skin colour, from very fair to very dark, to make sure it worked on everyone.

Some days I felt my face feel drier as the day went on with this sunscreen but it still looked greasy. About the brand: Drunk Elephant is a skincare brand that focuses on formulating its products using a high percentage of active ingredients at skin-friendly pH levels.Founded upon a philosophy of ingredient-elimination, Drunk Elephant seeks to inspire a ‘total-skin reset. Infused with raspberry seed and marula oils, Umbra Tinte™ delivers essential moisture and helps minimize the look of fine lines and wrinkles for skin that appears healthy and preserved.

On balance, the point is this: in contrast to real plant oils, wax esters were designed by Mother Nature to stay on the surface and form a protective, moisturizing barrier and jojoba oil being a wax ester is uniquely excellent at doing that. Umbra Sheer™ is formulated without any chemical sunscreens, which can be sensitizing and not as beneficial to skin as zinc oxide, a naturally derived physical alternative.

An extremely common multitasker ingredient that gives your skin a nice soft feel (emollient) and gives body to creams and lotions. Grape Juice Extract: With natural antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, grape juice extract acts as a free radical scavenger, soothes skin, and helps reduce redness. It can be used in many types of formulations as it has great thermal stability (can be heated up to 85°C) and works on a wide range of pH levels (ph 3-10). Astaxanthin-Rich Algae Extract: A carotenoid with potent antioxidant properties that provides defense from oxidative damage.
