Toxin-free and natural tinted daily moisturizer with SPF

The best SPF daily moisturizer: Andalou Naturals All-In-One Beauty Balm! 

Andalou Naturals beauty balm, SPF 30

Andalou Naturals is a wonderful natural cosmetics brand that produces quality, toxin-free products, with a commitment to the environment and fair trade through sustainable and charitable practices. More can be read about the company's mission here. Andalou's all-in-one beauty balm with SPF 30, is really a fantastic daily facial moisturizer. It is available in both a tinted formula and non-tinted formula. The tinted formula is actually a lovely daily foundation for those who want just a little bit of coverage, without the thickness and obvious caking effect of a full-on foundation. The best fact about this skin cream is that it is one of the highest rated daily moisturizers with SPF on the Environmental Working Group's Skin Deep database.

Check out the awesome, anti-aging ingredients in this beauty balm: Aloe Barbadensis Juice*, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) and Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Oils*, Sorbitan Stearate, Glyceryl Stearate, Fruit Stem Cells (Malus Domestsica, Solar Vitis) and BioActive 8 Berry Complex*, Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides, Hyaluronic Acid, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (Vitamin C), Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Extract*, Punica Granatum (Pomegranate) Oil*, Algae and Cucumis Melo (Melon) Extracts, Magnesium Sulfate, Aspalathus Linearis (Rooibos), Hibiscus Sabdariffa and Camellia Sinensis (White Tea) Extracts*†, Iron Oxide, Phenethyl Alcohol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Oil* (*Organic, † Fair Trade, Non-GMO verified).

Although this balm contains natural sunscreen (zinc oxide), it sinks in very well, and leaves skin smooth and supple. I have found that with some natural zinc oxide products, the formulas take a while to sink into the skin or are very hard to distribute on the skin. Well, that is certainly not true with this facial cream! It glides on easily and absorbs with a few gentle pats. The cream also smells very nice, with top notes of citrus, from the sweet orange oil in the formula (yes, this balm is synthetic fragrance free!). Be sure to check out this amazing product, and the rest of Andalou Naturals' cosmetic line!
