About Desert Days Midday Moisturizer +Sun Shield**:

This creamy, moisturizing balm is your daily protection against sun damage and harsh elements. It's truly a multi-purpose product and can even be used as foundation for the makeup minimalist.

Desert Days Midday Moisturizer is created specifically for those with sensitive skin who are prone to product irritation. I've removed all the unnecessary additives and use the bare minimum in organic, unrefined products. On a personal note, I started making this foundation/moisturizer for myself because of my breakouts and allergic reactions to store-bought products, especially sunblocks. I'm fair-skinned and require daily sunblock and even the big name "all-natural" products led to massive breakouts and inflamed skin. While I can't guarantee this will be the miracle for you that it was for me, I 110% stand behind my product and use it daily. Everything is personally made by hand from scratch in small batches, and I test each batch to ensure its quality. I really love this product and I hope you do too! <3

Directions for Use: This product contains non-nano uncoated zinc oxide for sun protection. You may see some white streaks on the top of your product, this is totally normal! Scoop out a small amount (I use my finger) and depending on your climate, you may need to warm the product slightly in the palm of your hand. Starting with this small amount, apply over your face and neck. As with any zinc oxide (white) sunblock, as you work the product in, any ashiness will fade. You can blend in or build up for additional coverage. For my daily routine, I stop here! But for a more finished look, I top with a matte foundation and/or powder. Note: This product is NOT waterproof and is easily removed with your daily cleanser.

As of now, I'm only offering one tint: medium. But because of the blendable nature of this product, it is versatile on many different skin tones. If you are unsure, you can always purchase a small sample to test it out! I use organic, free trade cacao powder + cinnamon to tint the product, so it not only works, it smells great too!


As mentioned, all ingredients are organic and 100% free of nasty fillers or other additives.
