What It Does
While providing broad spectrum SPF 30 sun protection with mineral zinc oxide, this antioxidant-rich triple-threat balm hydrates, nourishes, and revitalizes skin with the power of unique-to-Thrive super-plants. Wakame Kelp, Tazman Pepper™, and Arabica coffee oil bring extra protection against sun, pollution, and other skin stressors you’re up against. Our Daily Defense Balm is great at soothing irritation and redness while repairing your skin after a stressful day.

Why It's Better

  • Non-nano zinc oxide safely blocks the sun’s harmful UVA/B rays, but it’s also reef-safe for our aquatic friends. Vegan, cruelty-free, GMO-free. Safe for you and the planet.
  • It quickly absorbs without leaving behind a white residue or feeling greasy or sticky.
  • Thrive’s exclusive super-plants, Juanilama, Coralillo, and Fierrillo, bring skin-protecting antioxidants to the party.
  • This antioxidant-rich formula protects and repairs your skin. Mineral sunscreen with antioxidants built-in is hard to find, but extra protection from UV rays prevents damage before it starts, so you can focus on doing what you love.

Our Regenerative Mission
Sustainable is just the beginning. Our skincare is made with ingredients that are grown on our regenerative farms in Costa Rica. These plant ingredients are great for the skin and help to restore farmland. We partner with those farm communities to leave the people and places better than we found them.

Cover your face with 2 pumps of our Daily Defense Balm at the start of your day and 15 minutes before any fun in the sun. Reapply at least every 2 hours when in the sun, storing it away from excessive heat and direct sun. If you’re swimming or sweating, water-resistant sunscreen is your best bet. Ask your doctor about the best suncare method for kids under 6 months.
