Utu believes that getting outdoors and into the sunshine is essential for happiness and health. As much as people love being outdoors, it means they expose their skin to elements like sunlight, wind, pollution, and extreme temperatures. These elemental conditions can cause sunburn, skin aging, and an increased risk of skin cancer, not to mention skin irritation and dryness.
Utu is the innovative skincare-suncare hybrid for all those who don’t want to choose between SPF performance and advanced skin nourishment. They know skincare without suncare isn’t skincare at all.
Utu formulate their clean, outdoor skincare products using only the best, most effective and cruelty-free ingredients and never using chemical UV filters*, parabens, PEGS, phthalates, petrolatum, synthetic fragrance, sulphates, or phosphates, synthetic fragrance or formaldehyde. Their broad Spectrum UVA/UVB protection comes from non-nano zinc oxide, which is recognized as the most effective and safest broad spectrum (UVA/UVB) sunscreen filter. Non-nano zinc oxide is a mineral, and its non-nano particles are too big to be absorbed by the skin Unlike many chemical sunscreens, non-nano zinc oxide is reef-safe and aquatic-friendly.
They believe that like our skin, the planet and the natural world must be protected, nourished, and rejuvenated. They are part of a much bigger picture, connected to everyone and everything around them. From day one, Utu set out to use zero-plastic in their packaging. They believe you deserve to choose products that perform and deliver without fueling the constant use of a material that is polluting us and our planet. They make every effort to source non-plastic packaging and when this is not possible, they will ensure any plastic used is reusable.
We are thrilled to now be carrying Utu on the GLW shop!
