Saltee Face Sea & Sun Formula SPF50

Saltee promise that they provide ‘luxury suncare for your next travel adventure.’ Guttingly, that may not be for a while, it seems. But we’ve discovered that you don’t need to leave home to enjoy this particular product in the range – because if you’ve a tendency to dry skin (we do, we do), it’s just the most wonderfully hydrating daily SPF.

As they promise, Saltee Face Sea & Sun Formula SPF50 is good for sensitive skins, featuring plenty of skin-quenching cucumber extract, birch juice and antioxidant pine bark extract.
