What is the difference between Chemical and Mineral Sunscreens?Both chemical and mineral sunscreens contain UV filters, but they work in different ways. Chemical sunscreens absorb harmful UV rays, whilst mineral sunscreens reflect them. Chemical sunscreens contain active ingredients such as oxybenzone, octocrylene and avobenzone. Mineral sunscreens like ours are made from zinc oxide. Chemical sunscreens can damage waterways and marine life, and aren’t as good for your skin, so we choose to make 100% mineral sunscreens at Clementine de Lalonde.

How do the Anti-Aging ingredients work?Our anti-aging ingredients are sea buckthorn oil, bisabolol, and green tea extract. Sea buckthorn oil: full of restorative vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fatty acids which promote skin regeneration and renewal. Bisabolol: a natural anti-inflammatory agent that can also reduce redness, puffiness and irritation after sun exposure. Green tea extract: contains lots of antioxidants to fight free radicals, and is anti-microbial. It also brightens and smooths skin.
