You’ve probably heard a lot about SPF, broad-spectrum protection, and UVA/UVB filters. But here’s a new skincare hero quietly making waves in the beauty industry — SeaBoost™. It’s not just another hydrating agent. It’s a marine-powered, skin-loving ingredient that brings deep hydration, mineral nourishment, and long-lasting softness — even in the harshest sunlight.  And yes, we’ve made it a star ingredient in our Clay of Heaven Daily Advance SPF 50 Sunscreen.  Because we believe sun protection should do more than just block UV rays  it should nourish, hydrate, and heal your skin too. What Is SeaBoost™?  SeaBoost™ is a bioactive marine complex derived from nutrient-rich sea plants, minerals, and marine extracts. Think of it as ocean therapy for your skin bottled.  It’s packed with:  ● Marine polysaccharides (natural water-binding agents)  ● Essential minerals like magnesium, calcium, and potassium  ● Amino acids and marine antioxidants  Together, they mimic the ocean’s ability to retain moisture, restore balance, and soothe environmental damage. Why Your Skin Needs Hydration Even in a Sunscreen Most sunscreens focus purely on protection. But in doing so, many leave your skin:  ❌Dry and chalky ❌Sticky or heavy ❌Tight and uncomfortable ❌More prone to post-sun irritation  Here’s the truth:  UV exposure doesn’t just burn your skin  it dehydrates it deeply. That’s why we chose to include SeaBoost™ in our sunscreen: to defend and deeply hydrate at the same time.  The Skin Benefits of SeaBoost™ 1. Intensive Hydration SeaBoost works like a magnet drawing moisture into the skin and locking it in for hours. Your skin feels soft, plump, and bouncy even after long sun exposure.  2. Soothes & Calms It helps reduce redness, irritation, and that uncomfortable tight feeling after being out in the sun making your sunscreen feel more like skincare.  3. Nutrient-Rich Barrier Support The marine minerals in SeaBoost reinforce your skin’s barrier, helping it stay stronger and more resilient under UV and pollution stress.  4. Fights Free Radicals SeaBoost contains marine antioxidants that protect skin from oxidative damage caused by sun, heat, and environmental toxins.   How We Use SeaBoost™ in Our Daily Advance SPF 50 Sunscreen  At Clay of Heaven, we believe your sunscreen should be your first skincare step, not just a protection layer. That’s why our SPF 50 formula includes SeaBoost™, blended with other powerful ingredients like:  ● Bakuchiol – A natural retinol alternative  ● Rice Water – For brightening & hydration  ● Uvinul® A Plus + Avobenzone – For strong UVA/UVB defense  ● Octyl Salicylate + Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate – Lightweight, broad-spectrum protection  Together, these ingredients create a multitasking sunscreen that:  ✅Protects ✅Hydrates ✅Calms ✅Brightens ✅And feels AMAZING on your skin Who Is This Sunscreen For? If you have:  ● Dry or dehydrated skin  ● Sensitive skin that reacts to harsh sunscreens  ● A need for high sun protection without the white cast  ● Skin that feels tight or dull post sun exposure  you’ll love the lightweight, hydrating touch of SeaBoost in every drop of our sunscreen. Perfect for daily wear under makeup or on bare skin.    Final Thought: Your Skin Needs Protection and Hydration, Why Not Both?  Your sunscreen should be more than just a shield. With SeaBoost™, we’ve turned it into a nourishing skin ritual.  So every morning when you apply your Clay of Heaven Daily Advance SPF 50 Sunscreen,  you’re not just guarding your skin you’re feeding it with marine moisture, calming nutrients, and long-lasting softness.  Your skin deserves this upgrade. ✨Dive into hydration.

Think sunscreen is just for summer? Think again! UV rays are active year-round, and winter sun can be surprisingly harsh on your skin. Discover the top five reasons why sunscreen is a winter essential and how Clay of Heaven’s Daily Advance SPF 50 Sunscreen offers the perfect protection for radiant, healthy skin in every season.

In the realm of skincare, sunscreen often takes the crown as the most essential step in any daily routine. It’s not just about preventing sunburn on a bright summer day; it’s about protecting your skin from the long-term damage caused by the sun’s invisible yet powerful rays. If you’ve ever wondered why dermatologists stress the importance of sunscreen so much, it’s time to dive into the science behind broad-spectrum UV protection. What Are UV Rays and Why Are They Harmful? The sun emits two main types of ultraviolet (UV) rays that can harm your skin: UVA and UVB. UVA Rays: These rays have a longer wavelength and penetrate deeper into the skin. They are often called “aging rays” because they accelerate the aging process by breaking down collagen and elastin, leading to wrinkles, sagging skin, and hyperpigmentation. UVA rays are present all year round and can penetrate through windows and clouds, making protection necessary even on cloudy days or when indoors near windows. UVB Rays: These rays have a shorter wavelength and primarily affect the outer layer of the skin. They are responsible for sunburn and play a key role in the development of skin cancer. UVB rays vary in intensity depending on the season and time of day but are strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Both UVA and UVB rays can cause DNA damage in skin cells, leading to premature aging, skin discoloration, and an increased risk of skin cancer. This is why protecting your skin from both types of UV rays is crucial. What Does “Broad-Spectrum” Mean? When you see the term broad-spectrum on a sunscreen label, it means the product provides protection against both UVA and UVB rays. Broad-spectrum sunscreens are formulated to prevent sunburn, reduce the risk of skin cancer, and shield your skin from the premature aging effects of the sun. At Clay of Heaven, our Daily Advance SPF 50 Sunscreen is specially formulated with broad-spectrum protection, ensuring your skin is safeguarded from all angles. But what makes broad-spectrum sunscreen so vital? The Long-Term Impact of UV Exposure While the immediate effects of UV exposure, such as sunburn, are easy to see and feel, the long-term damage is often invisible until it’s too late. Here’s how UV rays impact your skin over time: Premature Aging (Photoaging): UVA rays break down collagen and elastin fibers in the skin, causing wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging. The loss of elasticity leads to visible signs of aging, making sunscreen a critical anti-aging step. Hyperpigmentation and Dark Spots: Overexposure to UV rays can cause the skin to produce excess melanin, leading to dark spots, age spots, and an uneven skin tone. Broad-spectrum sunscreen helps prevent this discoloration and maintains a brighter, more even complexion. Skin Cancer Risk: UVB rays are a major cause of skin cancer, including melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. Regular use of sunscreen reduces your risk significantly, protecting your skin from harmful mutations. DNA Damage and Inflammation: Both UVA and UVB rays can cause DNA damage at a cellular level, leading to inflammation, weakened skin barriers, and long-term health concerns. Why Sunscreen is Essential All Year Round Many people believe sunscreen is only necessary on sunny days or during the summer. However, UV rays are present year-round, even in the winter or on cloudy days. Additionally, UVA rays can penetrate through glass, so protection is crucial even when you’re indoors or driving. In Monsoon & Cloudy Weather: Up to 80% of UV rays can pass through clouds, so sunscreen is a must, even on overcast days. Evenings & Blue Light Protection: UVA rays remain present during the evening, and blue light from digital screens can also contribute to skin damage. Using sunscreen helps mitigate these effects. Night Protection: Environmental aggressors, such as pollution, don’t disappear when the sun goes down. Wearing sunscreen at night, especially if you’re exposed to artificial lights, helps keep your skin protected. Key Ingredients in Our Daily Advance SPF 50 Sunscreen Our Daily Advance SPF 50 Sunscreen is formulated with advanced ingredients to ensure maximum protection and skin nourishment: Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate & Octyl Salicylate: Absorb UVB rays, preventing sunburn and damage. Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane (Avobenzone): A broad-spectrum UVA filter that protects against deep tissue damage and skin aging. Uvinul® A Plus: A photostable UVA filter offering long-lasting protection from both short- and long-wave UVA rays, crucial for preventing photoaging. Rice Water: Brightens the skin, reduces pigmentation, and soothes irritation from sun exposure. Seaboost & Bakuchiol: Provide antioxidant protection, hydrate the skin, and promote a youthful, healthy complexion. How to Use Sunscreen Effectively To get the most out of your sunscreen, it’s essential to apply it correctly: Apply Generously: Use a sufficient amount to cover your face, neck, and any other exposed areas. Don’t forget spots like your ears and the back of your neck. Reapply Regularly: Sunscreen should be reapplied every two hours, or immediately after swimming, sweating, or towel-drying. Use Year-Round: Make sunscreen a part of your daily routine, regardless of the weather or season.
