Protection against the sun

A beach clean-up in Port Dickson proved to be the perfect activity to launch a new sunscreen.

Here’s how to get your essential daily protection to prevent premature ageing caused by sun exposure. A new mattifying mineral sunscreen from REN Clean Skincare forms a physical barrier to help reflect sun’s rays.

Its 22% Non-Nano naturally derived Zinc Oxide offers broad spectrum protection while passion fruit extract, known for its antioxidant properties, supports the skin’s natural defense against free radicals. The formula also protects against blue light. Rice starch leaves the skin mattified.

The Clean Screen Mineral SPF30 was recently launched by REN Clean Skincare at Avillion Port Dickson. The event – which involved a yoga session led by Evie Wong and a beach clean-up – was attended by influencers including emcee-model Melissa Th’ng and Faiz Haq (better known as Firezze). Also in attendance were Ken Lim and Hubert Hoi of Kens Apothecary, which carries the brand in their stores.

The beach clean-up was not only fun, but was an apt activity for this sunscreen. After all, recent studies have suggested the potential negative environmental effect of certain chemical sunscreens on the health of corals. Because of this, REN Clean Skincare does not use chemical sunscreens and instead uses mineral Zinc Oxide from a natural origin considered to be more “reef friendly”.

Due to its mineral UV filter, increasingly cleaner packaging and skin-friendly ingredients, REN Clean Skincare has created one of the cleanest sunscreens currently available.

The brand is also committed to continue to monitor new scientific research and environmental guidelines as part of its “Clean To Planet” pledge. It also features a 100% post consumer recycled PP cap and 50% PCR PP tube and full mono material pack.

The result of using this product? Skin is better protected from ageing effects of the sun with a soft, matte finish. To use, work between fingers and apply to face and neck before sun exposure, and re-apply as needed. Suitable for all skin types, it is priced at RM169 (50ml).

  • REN Clean Skincare is available at KENS Apothecary The Gardens, KLCC, Bangsar Village 2, One Utama or www.kensapothecary.com.my.
