I chose two important antioxidants for the SUNBATH formula, that stand alone beautifully but are so much more powerful when combined.
The first antioxidant in SUNBATH is Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (MAP), a creamy, water-loving, stable form of Vitamin C — it fully dissolves when activated by water, gets converted to L-Ascorbic acid by the skin, and is absorbed by cells through the epidermis’s intercellular matrix. It is one of the most important topical supplements for glowing, bouncy skin, with even tone (aka less sunspots).
The second is a form of Vitamin E, Tocopheryl Acetate (TA) — which is oil-loving — it travels suspended rather than dissolved, gets converted to Alpha-tocopherol by the skin, and settles into lipid layers, where it embeds itself into the cell’s membrane and protects from oxidative damage. It gets depleted with UV exposure, so replenishment is key to healthy cells. The symbiosis here is that when Vitamin E gets spent neutralizing oxidative stress from a day in the sun, MAP is what regenerates it back to its active form. Loading these two partner antioxidants topically replensishes vital protection within and outside of the cell.
SUNBATH in the evening after a full day of sun, or in the shower - mixed in your palm and applied as a masque, can create more beautiful, radiant skin.
Simply add 5 scoops into running bath water, or 2 scoops directly in palm then applied over entire body in shower or sauna, letting it sit for a while before rinsing. Skin is noticeably softer, smoother and “bouncier” with just one use but the magic is in continued usage - like a daily topical supplement!
