With increased exposure to UVA and UVB rays, your skin often needs extra care. Our suncare formulas are enriched with natural and effective ingredients that protect, nourish, and hydrate the skin. These active ingredients are packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that contribute to your skin’s health. Discover which ingredients enrich our formulas for radiant and revitalized skin.


Golden seaweed
The ingredient golden seaweed enhances protection against harmful sun exposure. As golden seaweed grows in shallow water, this plant has developed its own protective mechanism against UVA and UVB rays. Do you often experience dry skin during the summer? Golden seaweed is rich in minerals that deeply hydrate the skin. Additionally, these natural minerals also have anti-inflammatory and soothing properties.
The formulas of the Mineral Sunscreen and the Dry Body Oil are enriched with golden seaweed.


Sea algae
UVA rays can damage the skin and accelerate skin aging. Sea algae are rich in natural antioxidants and vitamins that combat skin aging. Additionally, they improve skin hydration. Algae help draw moisture from the environment into the skin and have the unique ability to retain this moisture, leaving the skin feeling soft and hydrated.
The formula of the Mineral Sunscreen is enriched with sea algae.


Upcycled prickly pear seed oil
This natural oil is rich in vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that hydrates, nourishes, and softens dry skin. This oil absorbs quickly and leaves the skin revitalized. This natural ingredient is extracted from the fig seeds that grow on the Prickly Pear cactus. Our prickly pear seed oil is also an upcycled ingredient, a by-product that would otherwise go to waste.
The formula of the Dry Body Oil is enriched with upcycled prickly pear seed oil, along with sweet almond oil and golden seaweed.


Hemp seed oil
Rich in Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids, hemp seed oil is known for its nourishing and anti-inflammatory properties. Research has shown that it can help with skin conditions such as eczema and acne. In addition to the soothing effects of this natural oil, it also promotes the recovery and growth of new skin cells. An essential ingredient for soft and hydrated skin.
The formula of the Deep Salt Body Scrub is enriched with hemp seed oil.


Sea salt
Sea salt is a natural exfoliant that helps remove dead skin cells. Salt is rich in minerals such as potassium, magnesium, and calcium, which are known to be anti-inflammatory and help strengthen the skin. Additionally, it has antimicrobial properties, making it an effective ingredient for deeply cleansing your skin. We believe it's important to source our ingredients as locally as possible to reduce our impact on the environment. The sea salt added to the Deep Salt Body Scrub is sourced from Zeeland. Furthermore, the body scrub is enriched with upcycled calcite grains, a natural scrub granule derived from Dutch drinking water that would otherwise go to waste.
