Why You Need SPF50+ Every Day: Year-Round Mineral Sunscreen for Sun, Clouds and Snow
Whether you're basking in summer sunshine or simply enjoying a crisp winter's day, sun protection is an essential part of every skincare ritual. While many associate SPF with beach days, harmful UV rays are present year-round, making daily sun protection one of the simplest ways to help preserve healthy, radiant skin. Up to 80% of UV rays can penetrate clouds, while snow can reflect up to 80% of UV radiation, increasing exposure from both above and below. This means your skin remains vulnerable to sun-induced damage, premature ageing, and pigmentation, regardless of the season. Meet Your Everyday SPF Essential Natural Sunscreen SPF50+ For those seeking invisible, everyday protection, our Natural Sunscreen SPF50+ combines broad-spectrum UVA and UVB defense with nourishing natural ingredients. Powered by 100% mineral Non-Nano Zinc Oxide, this lightweight, fragrance-free formula protects without leaving a white cast, while Pink Algae and Jojoba Oil help improve skin texture and support a naturally luminous complexion. Clinically proven to: Decrease wrinkle length by up to 64%, depth by 30%, and width by 40%* Increase skin hydration by up to 18%* Be non-comedogenic, with 100% of participants agreeing it did not cause breakouts* The result: Comfortable, breathable sun protection that seamlessly integrates into your daily skincare routine. Protection with a Healthy Glow Tinted Natural Sunscreen SPF50+ Prefer a multi-purpose skincare product?

Ideal for makeup-free days or as the perfect base beneath foundation, this breathable formula evens skin tone. At the same time, natural actives help visibly improve elasticity and reduce the appearance of sunspots over time.

How & Why to Double Cleanse for Clear, Radiant Skin
In today’s environment, skin is exposed to far more than we realise. Makeup, mineral SPF, environmental pollutants, and daily debris accumulate on the surface throughout the day, forming an invisible layer that a single cleanse simply cannot address. While skin may appear fresh, residue often remains, compromising both skin health and the performance of your skincare ritual. Double cleansing is the essential first step in restoring balance. By working in two targeted stages, this method ensures skin is thoroughly purified and optimally prepared to receive active botanicals in your remaining skincare routine. With INIKA Organic, this ritual is effortless, elevated, and now available as a value bundle designed to simplify your routine. First Cleanse: Adaptogenic Cleansing Oil The first cleanse focuses on dissolving oil-based impurities such as makeup, SPF, and excess sebum. Begin the first cleanse with the Adaptogenic Cleansing Oil: oil breaks down oil, this formula is effective at breaking down these layers without disruption. Infused with an anti-ageing mushroom blend containing antioxidants, this also protects the skin while reducing redness, pigmentation, and fine lines. The silky oil melts effortlessly across the skin, lifting surface buildup and leaving skin soft and nourished, never tight. HOW TO: Massage in circular motions into dry or damp skin, rinse well. Second Cleanse: Phytofuse Renew™ Cream Cleanser Once surface residue has been removed, the second cleanse works deeper to address impurities that are not immediately visible. Sweat, airborne pollutants, and microscopic debris can settle into pores throughout the day, dulling the complexion over time. The Phytofuse Renew™ Cream Cleanser is enriched with Rose of Jericho to hydrate and protect the skin’s barrier. Its innovative silicone-bristle applicator gently massages the skin, boosting circulation and providing light exfoliation for a smoother, more refined texture. HOW TO: Turn the tip of the tube to ‘ON’, squeeze a generous amount of product onto the silicone brush head, and turn back to ‘OFF’. Gently massage in circular motions on damp skin, rinse well. Why Double Cleansing Matters A consistent double cleanse will: Boost skincare absorption Prevent breakouts Improve skin texture Brighten and balance skin Elevate your daily skincare ritual with a simple yet transformative step. Bundle this two-step cleanser duo and enjoy enhanced results with added value.
Achieve Visibly Radiant, Even-Looking Skin with The Renew + Restore Peel
When it comes to skincare, exfoliation is one of the most effective ways to reveal a fresh, radiant complexion. And with so many exfoliating products on the market, choosing one that is not only effective but also gentle on your skin can feel like a challenge. The Renew + Restore Peel strikes the perfect balance, combining powerful active ingredients with the best of nature to give your skin that fresh, luminous glow. Let’s dive into why this product should be a staple in your skincare routine. What Makes INIKA Organic Renew + Restore Peel Special? The Renew + Restore Peel delivers a non-toxic exfoliating solution that promotes smoother, healthier-looking skin. One of the standout features of this peel is its use of ACB Fruit Mix; a powerful blend of naturally derived fruit acids that help to exfoliate and nourish the skin. This key ingredient works harmoniously with other actives in the formula, such as AHAs, PHAs, and natural exfoliating particles, to deliver a visibly smooth and even complexion. Let’s take a deeper look at how ACB Fruit Mix works and why it’s a game-changer in skincare. What is ACB Fruit Mix? The Renew + Restore Peel contains 20% of the ACB Fruit Mix which consists of standardised extractions of five plant species including: bilberries, sugar canes, oranges, lemons, and sugar maple. This mix contains the perfect blend of natural Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs), capable of improving moisturisation while simultaneously increasing the production of structural components, such as collagen and glycosaminoglycan, as well as reversing cutaneous atrophy. The Benefits of ACB Fruit Mix ACB Fruit Mix is proven to moisturise skin over time: The ACB Fruit Mix is capable of increasing moisturisation over time when used in a rinse-off application*. With ingredients like sugar cane and lemon extract, the peel helps hydrate the skin during exfoliation. These extracts provide essential moisture and maintain skin hydration, leaving it soft, plump, and smooth. ACB Fruit Mix is proven to promote skin cellular renewal: The natural acids from sugar maple and lemon extract gently exfoliate the skin, removing dead cells whilst encouraging skin cell turnover. This process reveals fresher, healthier skin and promotes a glowing, even complexion. Additionally, this provides a protective barrier from harmful chemical and environmental exposure that can lead to premature aging. ACB Fruit Mix is proven to promote collagen synthesis: The antioxidants and natural sugars in bilberry and orange extract help stimulate collagen production, supporting skin elasticity and firmness. This reduces fine lines and wrinkles, promoting smoother, more youthful skin. ACB Fruit Mix is proven to reduce excessive oxidative stress in skin: Oxidative stress in skin plays a major role in the aging process and is caused by UV irradiation, pollutants, and foreign substances; this is where the ACB Fruit Mix comes into play. Studies have shown a 32% reduction in reactive oxygen species levels with a 1% use of the ACB Fruit Mix, which will assist attenuate characteristics of cellular aging*. Incorporating INIKA Organic Renew + Restore Peel into Your Routine With its ACB Fruit Mix and other powerful ingredients, INIKA Organic Renew + Restore Peel is easy to integrate into your skincare routine. Simply use it once or twice a week for a boost of exfoliation and rejuvenation. The gentle formula means you can enjoy the benefits of exfoliation without the irritation that sometimes accompanies harsher treatments. Cleanse: Start with a gentle cleanser to remove any impurities. Apply the Peel: Smooth a thin, even layer of the Renew + Restore Peel over your face, avoiding the eye area. Leave it on: Let the product sit for 10-15 minutes. You may feel a mild tingling sensation, which indicates the exfoliation is working. Rinse: Wash off with lukewarm water and follow up with your favourite moisturiser. If you’re looking for a natural, effective way to exfoliate your skin and reveal a glowing complexion, the INIKA Organic Renew + Restore Peel is a must-try. The combination of AHAs, PHAs, and natural exfoliants offers the perfect balance of power and gentleness, giving you radiant, even-toned skin without irritation. With regular use, you’ll notice smoother, brighter skin that feels refreshed and rejuvenated. ---------------------------------------- *Studies not conducted on INIKA Renew & Restore Peel
