Helios SPF 30 Mineral Sunscreen
SPF 30 mineral sun protection from non-nano zinc oxide — kid-friendly, reef-safe, and free of chemical UV filters.
Helios is Kōzōn's SPF 30 mineral sunscreen, formulated to help protect skin during sun exposure while keeping it nourished and comfortable. Non-nano zinc oxide sits on the surface of the skin to reflect the sun's rays, rather than absorbing chemical filters into the skin.
What it does
- SPF 30 mineral sun protection from non-nano zinc oxide — sits on the surface to reflect the sun's rays
- Reef-safe — free of chemical UV filters, formulated without oxybenzone and octinoxate
- Rich plant butters and oils leave skin feeling nourished and comfortable, not dry or chalky
- Kid-friendly and gentle — a short ingredient list suited to sensitive skin
- Breathable enough for daily wear
What's in it
- Jojoba oil (Simmondsia chinensis) and shea butter (Butyrospermum parkii) — rich, skin-softening plant oils and butters.
- Beeswax (Cera alba) and cocoa butter (Theobroma cacao) — give the balm its protective, water-resistant feel.
- Non-nano zinc oxide — the mineral UV reflector; the active sun-protection ingredient.
- Cocoa powder — for a natural tint that helps the mineral blend on skin.
- Chamomile essential oil (Anthemis nobilis) and Vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol).
Active ingredient: Non-nano Zinc Oxide. (Full Drug Facts panel on packaging.)
How to use
Apply liberally and massage evenly into exposed skin 15 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply at least every 2 hours, and after swimming, sweating, or towel-drying.
Good to know
- For external use only. Avoid the eye area.
- Sun protection is one of many factors; also limit time in the sun and wear protective clothing.
- A mineral sunscreen leaves a light natural-tint finish — that's the zinc oxide doing its job.
- Patch test on the inner forearm 24 hours before first use if you have sensitive skin.
