Active Ingredients

Non-Nano Zinc Oxide

Zinc Oxide is a naturally occurring mineral that is formed from zinc. A nanoparticle is a particle smaller than 100 nanometers (nm), or 100 billionths of a meter. There are studies showing that very small nanoparticles (smaller than 35nm) of uncoated zinc oxide can be harmful to the environment by being toxic to marine life. Love Sun Body only uses non-nano zinc oxide.

Non-Nano Titanium Dioxide

Titanium Dioxide is a naturally occurring mineral that is formed from titanium. A nanoparticle is a particle smaller than 100 nanometers (nm), or 100 billionths of a meter. There are studies showing that very small nanoparticles (smaller than 35nm) of uncoated titanium dioxide can be harmful to the environment by being toxic to marine life. Love Sun Body only uses non-nano titanium dioxide.

Inactive Ingredients

Almond Oil

Almond Oil expressed from bitter almonds. Almond oil keeps your skin cells healthy, protects your skin from UV radiation damage, and helps your skin look smooth, soft, and free of fine lines. The fatty acids help your skin retain moisture and can heal chapped and irritated skin.

Alumina

Naturally occurring mineral used as an abrasive, a thickening agent, and an absorbent in cosmetics.

Aqua/Water

Aqua/Water is a liquid that forms the Earths seas, lakes, rivers and rain and is the basis of the fluids of living organisms.

Benzoic Acid

Benzoic Acid inhibits the growth of mold, yeast and some bacteria, plant based.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (Coconut Oil) is a specific fraction of coconut oil fatty acids resulting in only the more stable, and skin-loving, caprylic & capric fatty acids which creates a dry, silky oil form of esters. Natural ester is considered to be the best substitute of mineral oil.

Cetyl Alcohol

Cetyl Alcohol works as an emollient, emulsifier, thickener and carrying agent, manufactured from naturally occurring vegetable oils.

Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Fruit Extract

Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Fruit Extract is rich in skin-conditioning fatty acids, proteins and complex B vitamins. When combined with Lactobacillus functions acts as a non-irritating, effective, mixture that increases the bioavailability of natural phytocompounds. These moisturizing and conditioning ingredients are also effective at preventing the growth of fungus, specifically yeast and mold and increase moisture levels of the skin.

Glycerin

Glycerin is an outstanding moisturizer, works as an emollient, sunflower and rapeseed origin.

Glyceryl Sterate SE

Glyceryl Sterate SE is an emulsifier made from vegetables. Gyceryl Stearate acts as a lubricant on the skin's surface, which gives the skin a soft and smooth appearance. It also slows the loss of water from the skin by forming a barrier on the skin's surface.

Iron Oxide

Iron oxides are naturally occurring minerals known to be safe, gentle and non-toxic on the surface of the skin. Iron oxides typically come in shades of red, orange, brown and black. With the right proportion of titanium dioxide (which is white), it can cover imperfections and provide an even skin tone.

Jojoba Esters

Jojoba esters are a complex mixture of long chain fatty acids and fatty alcohols. Pure jojoba esters' chemical structure is very similar to that of human sebum.

Lactobacillus

Lactobacillus is one of the species of microorganisms used to produce fermented products. Like many members of the lactic acid bacteria family, Lactobacillus is capable of restricting the growth of other microorganisms by acidifying its environment and moisturizing benefits.

Lactobacillus Ferment

Lactobacillus Ferment acts as a natural broad-spectrum antimicrobial by acidifying the environment and producing antimicrobial peptides called bacteriocins.

Natural Tiare

Natural Tiare is also called Tahitian gardenia or Tiaré flower, the perfume-oil is made by infusing the blossoms in coconut oil.

Natural Vanillin

When it comes to skincare, sunflower seed oil is a great source of vitamin E, rich in nutrients and antioxidants, and is effective for combatting skincare issues like acne, inflammation, general redness and irritation of the skin. Sunflower oil has emollient properties that help the skin retain its moisture.

Tocopherol

Tocopherol is a form of Vitamin E derived from the vegetable oils. We source Tocopherol from soybean and sunflower oil. Tocopherol contains antioxidants that act to protect cells against the effects of free radicals, which are potentially damaging by-products of the body's metabolism.

Xanthan Gum

Xanthan Gum is a polysaccharide produced from simple sugars. It is an effective thickening agent and stabilizer.
