KONA SUN KISSES

HOW EACH INGREDIENT SUPPORTS NATURAL MINERAL SUN PROTECTION + REEF-CONSCIOUS BEAUTY

KONA SUN KISSES® is inspired by the beauty of the Hawaiian Islands and created with a mindful approach to both skin and ocean environments.

Instead of using commonly questioned chemical sunscreen ingredients, this formula focuses on mineral-based protection and skin-supportive botanicals chosen for their compatibility with reef-conscious standards.

NON-NANO ZINC OXIDE

THE PRIMARY MINERAL SUN PROTECTOR

WHY IT’S ONE OF THE MOST TRUSTED FORMS OF MINERAL SUN PROTECTION

Non-nano zinc oxide is considered one of the gold standards in natural mineral sun protection because it sits on top of the skin to help reflect and scatter UV exposure rather than absorbing into the skin like many chemical sunscreen ingredients.

Its larger, non-nano particle size is specifically chosen to remain on the surface of the skin, helping provide effective mineral coverage while supporting a reef-conscious approach to sun care.

*Helps provide broad-spectrum UVA + UVB protection

*Helps reflect and scatter UV rays from the skin’s surface

*Non-nano particles are designed to remain on top of the skin

*Helps defend against visible signs of premature aging from sun exposure

Chosen as an alternative to certain chemical sunscreen ingredients restricted in Hawaii

Non-nano zinc oxide is the heart of natural mineral sun protection. It sits on the surface of the skin and helps reflect and scatter UV rays rather than absorbing into the skin like traditional chemical sunscreens.

It is widely recognized for helping provide broad-spectrum mineral protection against both UVA + UVB exposure.

ORGANIC HAWAIIAN BEESWAX

Island Protection Rooted in Nature
NATURAL WATER-RESISTANT BARRIER SUPPORT

Beeswax helps create a breathable protective barrier on the skin that supports longer wear and helps improve water resistance. It helps keep mineral protection evenly distributed on the skin during active, outdoor lifestyles.

Sourced from the Hawaiian Islands, this luxurious, nutrient rich beeswax helps create a soft, breathable veil over the skin that supports protection against sun, wind, salt air, dryness, and environmental exposure. Naturally rich in protective compounds, Hawaiian beeswax helps seal in hydration while allowing the skin to breathe comfortably.

Unlike heavy synthetic barriers, beeswax forms a flexible, skin loving shield that helps mineral ingredients like non-nano zinc oxide adhere more evenly to the skin supporting longer-lasting wear and improved water resistance during active, outdoor lifestyles.

Known for its conditioning and skin-supportive properties, Hawaiian beeswax helps soften roughness, comfort dry skin, and support the skin’s natural moisture barrier, especially after exposure to sun, wind, ocean, and heat.

HOW HAWAIIAN BEESWAX SUPPORTS SUN PROTECTION

*Helps create a BREATHABLE PROTECTIVE BARRIER

In KONA SUN KISSES, Hawaiian beeswax is more than a texture ingredient it is part of the skin protection ritual itself. Supporting mineral defense while wrapping the skin in nourishing botanical comfort inspired by the Kona coast.

IRON OXIDES

VISIBLE LIGHT + ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENSE SUPPORT
