Caldera + Lab - The Face SPF

Hero Ingredients: A powerful blend of protection and repair.

Non-Nano Zinc Oxide (22.5%): This is the active ingredient that provides the physical sun protection. It sits on top of your skin to create a barrier that effectively blocks and reflects harmful UVA and UVB rays. It's a gentle and effective choice, especially for sensitive skin.

Bakuchiol: A plant-based ingredient often called a "retinol alternative." It helps to smooth the appearance of fine lines and even out skin tone, but without the potential for irritation that can come with traditional retinol.

Red Algae (Haematococcus Pluvialis Extract): A super-antioxidant that provides a second line of defense against environmental stressors and helps to support a healthy skin barrier.

The 2nd's Recommendation: For external use only.

The biggest reason guys skip sunscreen is because they hate how it feels. This formula from Caldera + Lab directly tackles that problem. It's incredibly lightweight for a mineral sunscreen and genuinely disappears into the skin without leaving you looking like a ghost. This is the product you should use every single day, rain or shine; it's the single most effective anti-aging tool you can have.

This product is fragrance-free.

What is Bakuchiol?
Bakuchiol is a powerful plant-based antioxidant that is often called a natural alternative to retinol. It offers similar benefits, like helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and improving skin tone, but it's much gentler and typically doesn't cause the irritation or sun sensitivity associated with retinol.

Will a mineral sunscreen feel heavy or greasy?
Older mineral sunscreens had a reputation for being thick and pasty, but modern formulas like this one are completely different. This is a very lightweight cream designed to absorb and blend in easily, leaving a natural, non-greasy finish.

What does "reef-safe" mean?
"Reef-safe" means the sunscreen is formulated without certain chemical ingredients, like oxybenzone and octinoxate, which have been shown to be harmful to coral reefs. This formula is Hawaii 104-compliant, meaning it meets the strict standards set by Hawaii to protect its marine ecosystems.
