Swish a light layer over lips daily for light and supple coverage or thicker for longer lasting coverage.
Innovation and persistence
Made by Outdoor Guides
This sunscreen did not start in a lab. It was developed by outdoor guides, sailors, and kayakers- the ones who MUST have sun protection in demanding water environments.
It took 6 years and 66 formulations, and brought some tears. At one point Becky walked away from the project for a year. The PhDs couldn't help, the labs couldn't help. It hadn't been done before- zinc based, no water formula that stays silky, not sticky or chalky.
The break was the breakthrough. Picking it back up, she realised what zinc needs to "play nice with the other kids". Go persistence!
Becky, in photo, feels that this sunscreen was one of the reasons she's on this planet right now. Her children and this sunscreen. Big statement!
