Ayla introduces two new sunscreens from Luzern Laboratories

Ayla, an online natural skin care boutique and San Francisco-based micro-shop, is introducing new non-toxic sunscreens from Luzern Laboratories in two new shades.

The two new sunscreens include La Defense SPF 30 and Bio-Suisse BB Cream SPF 20.

The products are said to include state-of-the-art pharmaceutical grade ingredients that contain high levels of peptides, antioxidants, and polyphenols.

All ingredients are processed pure and claim to be free from skin damaging additives, synthetics, preservatives, or chemicals.

Ayla founder Dara Kennedy said, "We’re delighted to be the first online retailer — and the first retail outlet in San Francisco — to offer Luzern’s new La Defense SPF 30 and Bio-Suisse BB Cream SPF 20."

Luzern Laboratories’ La Defense SPF 30 is a lightweight facial sunscreen with a completely translucent application.

It claims to provide 17.5% zinc oxide sun protection as well as a portfolio of major anti-ageing benefits.

The sunscreen also includes hyaluronic acid, Vitamin B5, and L-Arginine to firm and hydrate skin; Vitamins C and E, which limit chronic UVA/UVB damage; green tea and ginger polyphenols to boost collagen and elastin; organic licorice to prevent pigmentation and to brighten skin tone; and organic edelweiss, buddleja davidii, and thymus vulgaris to fight free radicals.

The Bio-Suisse BB Cream SPF 20 is an all-in-one skin-perfecting mineral beauty balm, which includes moisturizers, complexion-correcting pigments, antioxidants, and physical sunscreens to help diminish the appearance of pores, fine lines, and uneven skin tone.

The non-toxic BB Cream provides sheer coverage, and claims to enhance and brighten skin tones, hydrate skin, and protect it from sun damage.

The sunscreen contains 7.5% zinc oxide; Vitamins C and E to limit chronic UV damage; organic alpine extracts to reduce oxidative stress and fight against free radicals; hyaluronic acid, Vitamin B5, L-Arginine to moisturize skin and boost elasticity; organic licorice to brighten up skin tone; and organic green tea and organic ginger polyphenols to reduce wrinkles and loss of firmness from sun damage.

Luzern’s natural BB Cream comes in two shades: light and medium.
