A 100% bio-based alternative sunscreen filter

One of the most interesting creations in its catalog is OCEANSHIELD™, a derivative of secondary metabolites (mycosporine-like amino acids) that filters UV rays, reducing the need for traditional UV filters. This 100% bio-based SPF booster also has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, making it a proven anti-aging active ingredient.
