Sunscreen

Healing Herbs Boutique is a small Egyptian brand that makes skincare from oils and botanicals. Its sunscreen lotion is labelled SPF 40 with UVA and UVB protection and uses a mineral filter, blended with wheatgerm, carrot seed, sesame and jojoba oils, shea butter, aloe vera gel and green-tea extract. Light, with a coconut scent; for all skin types.

Apply generously and evenly about 30 minutes before going out, and reapply often, especially after swimming, sweating or towelling. Sunscreen is one part of sun care: shade, hats and avoiding the midday sun matter too.

Ingredients (from the pack): Wheatgerm Oil, Carrot Seed Oil, Sesame Oil, Shea Butter, Jojoba Oil, Green-Tea Extract, Mineral Oxide, Aloe Vera Gel, Vegetable Wax, Xanthan Gum, Distilled Water, Plant-Based Preservative, Fragrance Coconut.

Contains sesame oil.

Natural doesn’t mean it suits every skin. Patch-test first and check with your doctor if you have a skin condition.
