What's in Icarus? A Closer Look at Our Zero-Chemical Mineral Sunscreen

It's a sunny day, and you're getting ready to head outside. As you reach for your sunscreen, you pause - do you really know what's in that bottle? With so many chemical-laden options on the market, it can be hard to find a sunscreen that's truly good for your skin.

That's where Icarus comes in. Our zero-chemical, slightly less dorky mineral sunscreen is formulated with only the purest, most nourishing ingredients. Let's take a closer look at what makes Icarus so special.

Non-Nano Zinc Oxide

The star of the show in Icarus is non-nano zinc oxide. Unlike many conventional sunscreens that use tiny, nano-sized zinc particles, our zinc oxide is larger in size. This means it sits on top of the skin, forming a physical barrier that reflects and scatters UV rays. Non-nano zinc oxide is also gentle, non-irritating, and doesn't penetrate deep into the skin.

Unrefined Organic Shea Butter

Shea butter is a skin-loving superstar, packed with fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants. The unrefined, organic version we use in Icarus is rich, creamy, and deeply nourishing. It helps to soothe and hydrate the skin, leaving it soft, supple, and protected from the sun's rays.

Unrefined Organic Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is another key ingredient in Icarus. Unrefined and organic, it's brimming with lauric acid, which has natural antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Coconut oil also helps to lock in moisture, keeping your skin hydrated and healthy.

Unrefined Organic Avocado Oil

Avocado oil is the ultimate skin superfood. It's packed with fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants that nourish and protect the skin. The unrefined, organic version we use in Icarus is deeply moisturizing, helping to keep your skin soft, smooth, and radiant.

Organic Raw Cacao Powder

You might be surprised to find cacao powder in a sunscreen, but it's actually a brilliant addition. Cacao is rich in antioxidants that help to neutralize free radicals and protect the skin from environmental stressors. It also gives Icarus a subtle, natural tint that blends seamlessly with all skin tones.

Beeswax

Last but not least, we've added a touch of beeswax to Icarus. This natural emulsifier helps to bind all the ingredients together, creating a smooth, creamy texture that glides on effortlessly and stays put.

So there you have it - the secret behind Icarus' zero-chemical, skin-nourishing formula. When you choose Icarus, you're not just protecting your skin from the sun, but also treating it to a luxurious, natural blend of the finest ingredients nature has to offer. Ditch the dorkiness and embrace the glow with Icarus!
