The skin can become stressed by a number of environmental aggressors, including UVA and UVB rays, resulting in the proliferation of free radicals. When free radicals occur in greater numbers, oxidative stress results which can impact our skin. Topical application of antioxidants alongside UV filters in sunscreen is therefore a crucial factor in helping to protect the skin.

Antioxidants can be effectively incorporated into skincare products to quench and scavenge free radicals. They work by impeding further damage and supporting skin in maintaining its normal, healthy state.

Avail Facial Lotion with Sunscreen contains skin fortifying antioxidants such as Green Tea, alongside UV protective ingredients to reduce the impacts of free radicals on the skin, helping the skin function optimally in any environment.

Sunscreens are conventionally associated with greasy, heavy textures but the Avail Facial Lotion is described as a lightweight formula. Is that an intentional decision?

Creating sunscreen products is a notoriously challenging process — our Sage & Zinc Facial Hydrating Cream SPF 15 was 10 years in the making — to maintain a careful balance between efficacy, stability and product experience. Avail Facial Lotion with Sunscreen SPF 25 is 3 years in the making, with various distinct iterations of the formula along the way.

From the outset we had a clear idea of the sensory criteria and level of UV protection and hydrating efficacy we needed to meet. We sought to formulate a lotion that was lightweight, breathable in texture, and without the greasy skin feel usually associated with sun care products.

What is Aesop’s approach when it comes to developing sun protection products?

Our approach to sun care is simple, to counter skin and sun damage we opt for dual approach of protection and prevention.

We protect the skin from the harmful rays of the sun with various sun protection filters and additionally fortify the skin from the daily onslaught of free radicals and other environmental aggressors through topical application of antioxidants.
