COCONUT OIL

Extra virgin coconut oil is the most abundant source of lauric acid, a fatty acid known for its antifungal, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. It is rich in antioxidants that help prevent aging and damage to the skin. Aside from its anti-aging and skin-healing abilities, it promotes the production of collagen. Naturally rich in vitamin E, soothes and calms irritated skin.

Monounsaturated fatty acids help retain moisture and can heal irritated skin. Almond oil has a natural SPF of about 5.

 

NON-NANO ZINC OXIDE
Zinc oxide is a powdered mineral that acts as a physical barrier which shields your skin from the sun. It sits on top of the skin, scattering, reflecting, and absorbing UVA and UVB rays. A non-nano particle of zinc oxide does not enter the blood stream which makes the non-nano type of zinc oxide safer. Additionally, non-nano zinc oxide displays broader coverage against UVB, UVA, and blue light, as compared to nano zinc oxide.

 

SHEA BUTTER

The concentration of natural vitamins and fatty acids in shea butter makes it incredibly nourishing and moisturizing. Shea butter aids in the skin’s natural collagen production. It contains oleic, stearic, palmitic, and linolenic acids that protect and nourish the skin to prevent drying. Regular use of raw shea butter can treat itching, burns, small skin wounds, eczema, and skin allergies. Shea butter has a natural SPF of 6-10.

 

BEESWAX

CACAO
Cacao is high in flavonoids  and a great source of natural antioxidants, which helps to protect your skin from premature aging. It improves circulation and hydration in the skin.

High content of vitamins E and A help in preventing oxidative damage, which can lead to premature skin aging and skin cancer. Very high levels of phytosterols help to reduce trans-epidermal water loss, thereby helping to keep your skin moisturized, as well as to repair skin damaged by environmental factors including sun damage. Red raspberry seed oil has a natural SPF of between 28 and 50 against UVB rays, and an SPF against UVA rays of around 8.

While an estimate as to the SPF value of Malina natural sunscreen is 30+, please note that it was not laboratory tested. Always use caution and common sense when spending extended periods of time under the sun. We recommend that you test this sunscreen with your own skin tone by starting with shorter sunbathing sessions. Although beeswax makes Malina sunscreen waterproof, for best results reapply it every 2-3 hours or after spending time in water. Remember, the safest way to protect your skin is to stay out of the sun.
