Andalou Naturals Daily Facial Lotion SPF 18 2.7 fl oz — Hydrating, Lightweight Protection for Sensitive Skin

Andalou Naturals 1000 Roses Daily Shade Facial Lotion SPF 18 is a lightweight, hydrating daily face sunscreen that shields skin from UVA and UVB rays while soothing sensitive complexions.

This daily shade lotion blends sun protection with gentle hydration and plant-derived support to help sensitive, dry, or delicate skin look and feel calmer. Formulated around Fruit Stem Cell Science and botanicals like alpine rose stem cells and rose centifolia, it offers antioxidant-rich oils and vitamins in a non-greasy texture designed to absorb quickly. Free from animal testing and rooted in sustainable sourcing, the formula is vegan-friendly and non-GMO where possible, making it a practical choice for everyday facial protection under makeup or alone.

How does this lotion protect skin during daily sun exposure?

The product provides broad-spectrum SPF 18 protection against UVA and UVB rays, offering a basic level of daily defense for incidental sun exposure. It's intended for routine outdoor activities or commuting rather than extended intense sun exposure; regular reapplication is recommended for continued protection.

• Broad-spectrum SPF 18 shields against both UVA and UVB rays.
• Apply 30 minutes before sun exposure for best performance.
• Reapply after sweating, swimming, or towel-drying as needed.
• Suitable for everyday protection under makeup or on bare skin.

Can this lotion be used on sensitive or dry skin?

This formula is developed with sensitive skin in mind: it absorbs easily, hydrates without heavy residue, and contains soothing botanicals to calm delicate skin. Alpine rose stem cells and rose centifolia help support the skin barrier while pomegranate seed oil supplies antioxidant-rich fatty acids.

• Gentle, ultra-sheer texture that minimizes irritation risk.
• Hydrating base to relieve dryness and maintain softness.
• Botanical stem cells and oils provide antioxidant support.
• Non-irritating for many sensitive skin types when used as directed.

What makes Fruit Stem Cell Science and the ingredients unique?

Fruit Stem Cell Science centers on selected plant and fruit stem cell extracts intended to support skin vitality at the cellular level. This lotion pairs those extracts with vitamins C and E and pomegranate seed oil to deliver antioxidant protection and nourishment in a naturally derived formula.

• Alpine rose stem cells to help strengthen the skin’s barrier function.
• Pomegranate seed oil for omega fatty acids and antioxidant benefits.
• Vitamins C and E included to support overall skin resilience.
• Formulated with sustainable, non-GMO, and cruelty-free principles.

How should I integrate this into my daily skincare routine?

Use this facial lotion as the final step in your morning skincare routine to add sun protection and hydration. It layers comfortably under makeup and can be reapplied during the day for continued coverage depending on activity level.

• Apply evenly to clean skin 30 minutes before sun exposure.
• Use alone or follow with makeup as the sunscreen base.
• Reapply throughout the day after water exposure or heavy sweating.
• Pair with your preferred cleanser and moisturizer for best results.
