AELIA sunscreen

The SPF (Sun Protection Factor) on a bottle of sunscreen indicates the level of protection you receive from UVB rays— the ones most commonly responsible for sunburns and skin cancer.

SPF 50 blocks 98% of UVB rays.

Mineral sunscreens use natural filters like zinc oxide that sit on the skin’s surface and physically block UV rays. Chemical sunscreens use synthetic filters that absorb UV radiation and convert it into heat.

Mineral = shield, chemical = sponge

Mineral sunscreens are generally gentler, making them ideal for sensitive or acne-prone skin, while chemical filters may cause irritation in some people.

Mineral sunscreens can leave a white cast because of zinc oxide, but Aelia uses non-nano zinc that disperses evenly with the help of butyloctyl salicylate, allowing it to blend smoothly into the skin for a natural finish.

No- our formulation is not water-resistant and here's why.
Sun damage happens in the everyday. Not just at the beach, but on the walk for coffee, in the car, or sitting by a window.

We chose breathability over water resistance—protection so weightless and radiant, it’s made for daily life.
