Sun-Loving Repair Duo

Sun Body Oil + Sun Serum

From: $186.00

Two powerful formulas for both pre- and post-sun care to protect against UV-induced oxidation and repair the symptoms that come from overexposure to the sun.

By combining the most current botanical research on phytonutrients with centuries-old plant traditions, our Sun-Loving Repair Duo delivers brighter and more even skin tone, quick recovery from sunburn, and a visible reduction in irritation and oxidative damage – from head-to-toe!

The Sun-Loving Repair Duo includes:

SUN SERUM Phyto Defense + Repair
A concentrated moisturizer, treatment serum, and elemental defense oil formulated with antioxidant-dense and anti-inflammatory botanicals. Whole plants like Red Raspberry, Rosehip and Red Grape are rich in carotenoids, resveratrol, flavonoids, polyphenols, and essential fatty acids, then blended mindfully to help prevent UV damage and repair years of chronic sun damage.

SUN BODY OIL Phyto Defense + Repair
This lightweight, golden oil is a wealth of carotenoids, resveratrol, polyphenols, and essential fatty acids working intelligently with your skin to strengthen its response to the sun’s rays. A blend of aromatic Ylang Ylang, Frankincense, and Roman Chamomile, along with Red Raspberry, Olive Oil and Coconut, create a scent that nods to summer’s abundance. This body serum and moisturizer also includes a house-made gemstone essence of Aquamarine, Turquoise, and Citrine to inspire joy, movement, and freedom of expression.

For best results, mist skin generously with Elixir or Hydrosol then apply Sun Serum to the face and Sun Body Oil to the body before and after time spent in the sun. When in full sun exposure for longer periods, we recommend reapplying frequently. Each person’s skin is unique, and timing will differ for each individual. If using in conjunction with a Zinc-based sunscreen, apply Sun Serum and Sun Body Oil to the skin first, followed by the sunscreen as a final step.

Sunscreen?
Sunscreens are made with FDA approved drugs, and plants are not widely regarded as drugs – whole plants are definitely not regarded as drugs by the FDA. Chemical compounds within plants are variable and can change from harvest to harvest, farm to farm, or processor to processor. While we cannot legally recommend using our products as sunscreens, there is still substantial evidence to support that specific plants with high antioxidant content will absolutely help to prevent sun damage from occurring.

Post-Sun Ritual
Most of us have gotten carried away on a sunny day: enjoying the ocean for a bit too long or getting caught up with friends during an extended summer picnic. For a short while, we don’t notice that our skin is starting to feel too warm and is looking pinker than it should. When that undoubtedly happens, my favorite summer ritual can be used to prevent what can become a lingering sun burn.

First, take a quick cool shower, if needed, with minimal soap usage – as soap can increase irritation and decrease vitamin D production immediately following time in the sun. Follow with a generous full body misting of our Chamomile Hydrosol for immediate anti-inflammatory relief and cooling action. Then apply our Sun Body Oil from neck to toe on damp skin. For an added boost, apply another spritz of Chamomile Hydrosol and a touch of Recovery Balm to those extra sun-kissed areas. While we will always experience those moments of getting carried away in the sun, we promise that this post-sun ritual can prevent the discomfort that often follows.
