Since Aesop first ventured into the area of skin care, we have been investigating the possibility of producing a mineral based moisturiser that offers broad spectrum SPF protection. Now, we have created a product that meets our exacting standards. Sage and Zinc Facial Hydration Cream with SPF 15 is a lightweight protective moisturiser containing plant-derived vitamins including Vitamin E, to suit all skin types, even sensitive. This product contains no chemical sunscreen ingredients and no nano-particles.

This light formulation hydrates the skin while offering a shield of sun protection. Micronised zinc oxide coats the surface of the skin and reflects sunlight. Tocopheryl Acetate (a form of Vitamin E) assists with hydration and offers anti-oxidant protection, Sandalwood assists with skin clarity through its antimicrobial properties, while Sage Leaf extract calms and soothes the skin. Skin will feel softened and protected without any whitening or clogged pores.

‘Anyone who has used a hydration product containing Zinc Oxide will find the texture and performance of Sage and Zinc Facial Hydrating Cream nothing less than remarkable. It is easy to apply – light and smooth – and has none of the heaviness that zinc products traditionally do. This is the ideal daily moisturiser for people who live in urban environments.’ Dennis Paphitis, Director
