What it’s for

Everyone misjudges it eventually — the cloud cover, the hour, the reapplication you meant to do. This is a cooling gel that puts water back into skin that has been in sun, salt or wind all day. There is no alcohol in it, because alcohol evaporates cold and then leaves the skin drier than it found it.

How it feels

Cold going on, absorbs clear in under a minute, no tack afterwards. It is a gel, not a lotion, so it does not sit on skin that is already too warm.

Also in it, and why

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice 40%, Panthenol, Niacinamide, Bisabolol, Allantoin.

How to use it

  1. Apply liberally to clean, cool skin after sun exposure. Refrigerate it if you want it colder.
  2. Repeat as often as the skin asks for it.
  3. Drink water. Sunburn is a fluid problem as much as a skin one.
