Our face moisturiser with mineral sunscreen, made for mums

Skin often behaves differently in pregnancy and while you breastfeed. It may feel drier, react more easily, or darken in patches when it sees the sun. Melasma, the brown "mask of pregnancy" on the cheeks and forehead, is common, and sunlight is its biggest trigger.

So a morning routine for mums needs two things: moisture and sun protection. Our Daily Protection Face Moisturizer does both in one light layer. Read more about skin changes in pregnancy.

What is inside

Rice extract

Rice water has a long history in Asian beauty routines. In our moisturiser, rice extract helps skin feel moisturised and look radiant.

Hyaluronic acid

Your skin makes hyaluronic acid naturally. It holds on to water, and applied to the skin it helps the top layer stay moisturised, so your face feels soft and smooth and fine dry lines look less noticeable.

Shea butter

Shea butter, from the nut of the African shea tree, softens skin and forms a light film that slows water loss. It is the second ingredient in the formula, so the cream feels comforting without being heavy.

Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide

These are mineral UV filters. They give the moisturiser SPF 20 PA++, which is medium protection, against both UVB, the rays that cause sunburn, and UVA, the rays linked to skin ageing and pigment changes.

Mineral filters sit on the surface of the skin and block and scatter UV light. Many people with sensitive skin find them comfortable, and they are a popular choice in pregnancy. Chemical filters are also approved for use in sunscreens. What matters most is wearing a sunscreen you like enough to use every day.

Orange oil

A little orange oil gives the cream a light, fresh scent.

How to use it

1. Wash your face with a mild cleanser such as our Gentle Face Wash, and pat dry.
2. In the morning, smooth an even layer over your face and neck. Use enough to cover all of your face, not just a dot.
3. If you are outdoors, reapply during the day, and after sweating or towel drying.
4. On long days outside, add a hat and shade. Do not stay out too long in strong sun, even with sunscreen on.
