St. Botanica Vitamin C Dry Touch Sunscreen Lotion is more effective than the average sunscreen in shielding the skin from the harsh ultraviolet rays. With SPF 75, it assures maximum protection from UV-ray induced sun damage. Exposure to the solar radiation dehydrates the skin, depletes the skin’s natural oils, damages the skin tissues and stimulates overproduction of melanin, leading to hyperpigmented spots and skin tanning. The sunscreen lotion forms a protective umbrella that helps to maintain your natural complexion. Moreover, the high concentration of vitamin C deactivates the free radicals produced due to exposure to sunlight and environmental pollution. The powerful antioxidant is also crucial for collagen synthesis. It helps the skin retain its elasticity and minimizes premature wrinkling. In addition to filtering the UV rays and protecting the skin from sun damage, the lotion fortifies the skin’s moisture barrier with natural emollients and humectants such as honey, aloe vera, shea butter, sweet almond oil, grape seed oil and virgin coconut oil. Green tea, chamomile, gotu kola, tomato and carrot are natural sources of antioxidants that help preserve the healthy texture and tone of the skin.
