❄️Don’t let the chilly temps fool you—the skin needs sun protection year-round! 🌞
Why is SPF necessary even when it’s freezing outside?
☀️UVA/UVB Protection – Free radicals from UVA and UVB rays can sneak through clouds and windows and even reflect off of snow to cause skin damage – rain or shine.
☀️Photo-Aging Prevention – The highly reactive, unstable molecules can wreak havoc on the skin - specifically collagen and elastin - and contribute to premature signs of aging like wrinkles, dryness, and redness.

“Higher taxes on imported beauty goods could significantly affect the end cost for the consumer, due to increased import costs on ingredients and supply chain disruptions that require product reformulations … Using alternative turnkey materials and manufacturers could lead to significant tariff cost savings for the brand and consumer.”
