A woman is seen using an ice hair conditioner tool form Inverse to straighter her hair

Welcome to the Ice Age

It’s 2019, it’s time to bid adieu to the straightener you’ve been using since high school. In short, it is frying your hair. Temperatures of 150°F start to damage hair. They strip the moisture healthy hair needs and can lead to matted hair more easily. Again, that’s at 150°F. Flat irons typically reach 300°F.

The good news? Inverse Hair’s Ice Hair Conditioner Tool is here to fix years of trauma. Between -8°C and -3°C moisture is rapidly absorbed into the hair fiber creating an enduring elevated level of hydration in the fiber. Prolonged use of sub-zero temperatures helps restore dry and damaged hair to its former glory, making this tool your new best friend.

No More Oily Sunblock

One of the best ways to ensure your skin will stay fresh and vibrant is to protect it from the harmful rays of the sun. No one likes the oily sunscreen that can cause breakouts. However, UV can damage your skin without you even noticing. Enter Brush on Block, a Mineral Powder Sunscreen. Instead of making your skin feel oily and icky, this easy application powder comes with SPF 30 protection and naturally occurring minerals like titanium dioxide and zinc oxide to protect your skin. And botanicals like chamomile and green tea extracts enrich, soothe, and replenish it. Because there’s no tint, you can wear it under makeup or over, making it an instant summertime hit.
