CLINICAL RESULTS
How to Use
Apply 2 pumps for the face (~1.6 ml, in line with EU SPF testing standards of 2 mg/cm²).
Use 1–2 additional pumps for neck and décolleté, depending on surface area. Distribute evenly before sun exposure. Don’t forget the backs of your hands.
☾ Evening Use
Thoroughly remove with one of our cleansers before continuing your evening routine.
💡 Sarah’s Tip: This is a non-mineral, lightweight SPF — one even layer is fully sufficient to achieve optimal protection. Please do not apply multiple layers on top of each other, as this interferes with proper sun protection formation and may negatively impact the level of protection. It may also affect how it feels on the skin. Instead, apply generously and reapply every 2–3 hours when outdoors, especially after swimming or sweating. Avoid the midday sun whenever possible.

WHAT IT IS
Beyond European Standards
We go beyond EU requirements with a strict Restricted List — creating formulas that feel pure, minimal, and easy to trust on sensitive skin.
Your Skin Deserves Better Than White Casts & Weak UVA Defense
“Cruelty-free shouldn’t stop at animals. It should include the planet.”
“Just because it says ‘organic’ doesn’t mean it’s kind to your skin — or the sea.” - Sarah, Founder of NAYA

Any questions? Let us answer them
Our SPF 50 Sun Cream is suitable for babies and toddlers from 6 months of age.
For babies under 6 months, we recommend avoiding direct sun exposure altogether. At this early stage of development, their skin is especially delicate and not yet ready for sun creams or UV exposure.
Yes, our sun care product is suitable for sensitive skin.
We use only modern, next-generation UV filters that are photostable, non-nano, and free from allergenic or hormone-disrupting potential. These filters are exceptionally gentle and well-tolerated — even by sensitive, reactive, or rosacea-prone skin.
No, the product absorbs beautifully into the skin — without any white cast or greasy residue.
It leaves a radiant, non-sticky finish and feels weightless throughout the day.
Please ensure your skincare base is compatible: rich or occlusive products underneath can affect both the texture and how well the sunscreen sets on the skin — and may even interfere with protection.
If you’re unsure or have questions about layering, we’re here to help:

For best results, apply Aura Essence or Glow Serum before your SPF.
Allow it to absorb fully before applying the Everyday Sun Cream SPF 50+.
🌿 Aura Essence delivers long-lasting hydration and supports your skin barrier throughout the day.
✨ Glow Serum, rich in Vitamin C, can help boost the effectiveness of your sunscreen by neutralising free radicals and enhancing photoprotection.
This layering ensures your skin is protected, nourished, and radiant — all day long.
Yes, you absolutely can — even if you have oily skin.
We recommend applying only a lightweight essence or toner with hyaluronic acid before the sun cream. Our formula is hydrating enough on its own, so there’s no need for an additional moisturiser.
To avoid a heavy or greasy feeling, please skip richer creams or facial oils before application.
Alternatively, you can apply the sun cream directly onto clean skin.
“Reef-friendly” is not a regulated or protected term — neither by the EU nor by any global environmental body.
That said, we take the health of marine ecosystems seriously.
Our SUN CREAM SPF 50 does not contain Oxybenzone, a filter widely associated with coral bleaching. But it’s also important to note that even so-called “natural” filters like Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide can be harmful to marine life, as they act as photocatalysts and may cause oxidative stress in corals.
Instead, we use modern, photostable UV filters that have been shown to be safe according to European Environmental Protection standards.
And yes — all our formulas, including our SPF, are 100% free from microplastics.
We go beyond buzzwords and focus on true environmental responsibility — both in formulation and packaging.
No, our Everyday Sun Cream SPF 50+ contains no added fragrance or essential oils.
What you may notice is a light, natural scent reminiscent of plum seed oil or marzipan — this comes from the raw ingredients themselves and is not artificially added. The scent typically evaporates within moments of application.
We’ve formulated it specifically for sensitive skin, which means no allergens, no irritants, and no lingering perfume.
Under test conditions, the amount used corresponds to approximately 2 full pumps for the face.
This dosage achieves an SPF of 62 and a UVA protection factor of nearly 30 — offering almost double the minimum required for the official UVA seal (which mandates one-third of the SPF value).
Once opened, we recommend using the product within 6 months.
While it may remain safe for up to 12 months, the general rule of thumb is: avoid opening a product and leaving it unused for long periods. Over time, all skincare — no matter how well-formulated — begins to lose potency and freshness.
There are a few simple ways to protect your skin effectively:
☼ Avoid excessive sun exposure — especially around midday, when the sun is at its strongest.
☼ Seek shade when possible, and wear a wide-brimmed hat or cap to provide additional protection.
☼ Remember: overexposure to the sun is a serious health risk.
☼ Always protect babies and small children from direct sunlight. Use protective clothing and a high SPF sunscreen specially formulated for delicate skin.
So that you can easily carry it in your handbag when you’re out and about — whether at the beach or in the city — we’ve designed it to be lightweight and compact. Each container holds 50ml of fluid and is made from a mix of recycled and virgin plastic. It’s also 100% recyclable, meaning it can re-enter the system with a lower CO₂ footprint than the average aluminium tube.
