The Science of Sun Protection.
Mineral vs Chemical Block
Chemical blocks absorb rays, converting to heat that can irritate skin and harm reefs. Mineral or ‘physical’ blocks reflect sun rays for immediate, stable protection.
Ao goes beyond, delivering repair, hydration, and primer in one clean, reef-safe formula. No trade-offs. Just smarter suncare.
