of two years research and development,
Carefully blended natural mineral zinc with
organic olive oil, beta carotene and vitamin E, creates a safe, effective balm which
helps to reflect damaging ultraviolet radiation.
Zinc oxide has been used as the
natural blocking agent as it is the only ingredient synthetic chemical or natural
