Althea's Petal Velvet Sunaway

We love new things, especially when they're ours! Yes, Althea has a new baby to coddle and praise, and we're absolutely ecstatic to share it with you! The sun is a natural enemy of the skin - it can cause dehydration and the break down of skin cells, leaving you with signs of premature aging as well as sun damage. Althea's Petal Velvet Sunaway is our skin's saving grace, a lightweight yet protective sunscreen that's perfect for daily use. Here's all you need to know on what's coming!

Walking out under the sun is inevitable, even if you're a busy, modern urbanite in the city. Sun protection is a must, no matter how short a period of time you'll be spending under its warm rays. We've previously launched a face powder from the Petal Velvet range, and the Sunaway is the latest addition to the line. With this product, we wanted to create a weightless sunblock that felt fresh on the skin even through the heat and humidity; the perfect beauty companion, ideal for everyday use.

The Petal Velvet Sunaway is an ultra lightweight sunscreen that features a non-chemical UV filter with an SPF 50, PA+++. What this means is that instead of absorbing deep into the layers of the skin, it creates a protective barrier that scatters UV light. This method is super skin-friendly, making it great even for those of us with sensitive complexions as the ingredients used are nice and gentle. Sunscreens usually have a notorious reputation for being drying on the skin, causing fine lines and flakes. To combat that, the Sunaway is formulated with a quenching mix of hyaluronic acid and Damask rose extracts that plump up the skin from within, giving your face a hydrating treat!

Like the Petal Velvet Powder, the Sunaway's formula contains finely milled micro-powder particles that help to keep sebum at bay, leaving the skin feeling fresh all day. It's liquid texture blends easily into the skin, giving you a seamless, invisible finish that doesn't leave behind any streaks or a white cast. Just smooth on a generous layer into the skin and allow to absorb before stepping out the door for protected, healthy skin. You can thank us later!

Whether you're fresh on the K-Beauty scene, a seasoned beauty junkie looking for something new to try or someone who’s hunting for the next big thing from Althea, the Petal Velvet Sunaway is great for all skin types and all ages. It's also got a hypoallergenic formula that won't irritate the skin, and is cruelty-free, so no cute furry animals were harmed in the process of making this product (yay!).

The Petal Velvet Sunaway will be released really, REALLY soon, and is exclusively available for purchase on Althea's site, so be sure to stalk the site so you won't miss out. Are you excited to try out the latest sunscreen in town? Is sun protection important to you? Let us know below!
