Ingredients

Every ingredient in Organic Matters is chosen for a specific purpose - either to protect your skin from UV, support skin comfort, or ensure the formula remains stable and effective in real-world conditions.

Active ingredient

Zinc oxide (25%)
A non-nano mineral UV filter that provides broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays. Zinc oxide sits on the surface of the skin and reflects UV radiation, rather than being absorbed into the skin.

This is the only UV filter used in Organic Matters.

Key supporting ingredients

Hyaluronic acid
A humectant that helps the skin retain moisture and improves comfort during wear. It does not contribute to UV protection.

Ascorbyl palmitate (vitamin C derivative)
A stable, oil-soluble form of vitamin C that supports antioxidant protection and formula stability.

Kakadu plum (Terminalia ferdinandiana) extract
A naturally antioxidant-rich botanical used to support the formula’s antioxidant system.

Bisabolol
A soothing ingredient commonly used to help reduce skin discomfort.

Calendula officinalis extract
A botanical extract traditionally used to support sensitive or reactive skin.
