TERNS Mayday After-Sun Gel Cream 2 fl oz — Cooling, Fast-Absorbing Relief with Niacinamide & Squalane

TERNS Mayday Intensive After Sun Gel Cream is a fast-absorbing, fragrance-free gel-cream formulated to cool, rehydrate, and support recovery for sun-exposed skin.

When your skin has been overexposed to the sun, wind, or campfire heat, this concentrated after‑sun gel blends marine bioactives, niacinamide, squalane, shea butter and aloe to soothe irritation and help replenish moisture without a heavy or greasy finish. The travel-size 2 fl oz tube fits easily in a beach bag or day pack and is formulated for both face and body use.

How does it cool and soothe irritated, sun-exposed skin?

The formula uses a lightweight gel-cream base that spreads easily and absorbs quickly to create an immediate cooling sensation while delivering hydrating and barrier-support ingredients. It addresses visible redness and tightness by restoring comfort and flexible moisture levels.

• Cooling gel texture that reduces surface heat and offers quick skin comfort
• Aloe and shea butter to hydrate and soften dry areas
• Squalane to reinforce lipids and reduce tightness without greasiness

What role do the marine bioactives and niacinamide play?

TERNS' Sirenas Complex AQ delivers a concentrated marine-derived bioactive boost that supports skin stressed by environmental exposure. Niacinamide complements this by helping maintain even tone and skin barrier resilience, resulting in a smoother visual appearance.

• 3x concentrated Sirenas Complex AQ for antioxidant support
• Niacinamide to help even skin texture and support barrier function
• Formulated by marine chemists and dermatologists for targeted recovery support

Will this feel greasy or interfere with sunscreen or makeup?

No—the gel-cream is designed to be non-greasy and fragrance-free, absorbing quickly so it won't smear or pill under sunscreen or makeup. It works as a calm-first step before reapplying sun protection or applying makeup when skin feels comfortable again.

• Lightweight, fast-absorbing texture suitable for face and body
• Fragrance-free and dermatologist-approved to reduce irritation risk
• Compatible layered under sunscreen once skin has cooled

How is the product formulated and who developed it?

TERNS Mayday was developed by a team led by a chemical biologist with ocean-chemistry expertise and input from dermatologists. The formulation emphasizes essential, high-performance actives and avoids parabens and unnecessary fragrance to keep the ingredient list focused and gentle.

• Backed by over a decade of marine chemistry research and innovation
• Paraben-free, cruelty-free, fragrance-free, and suitable for sensitive skin
• Safe for both face and body; designed for post-exposure care

Who is this for? If you need a compact, effective after-sun treatment that cools and hydrates without heaviness, TERNS Mayday Intensive After Sun Gel Cream fits into outdoor kits, travel packs, and daily skincare routines. It's made for people who want concentrated recovery support after sun or environmental exposure, prefer fragrance-free skincare, and value formulations grounded in marine science. Use as the first comfort step after cooling the skin and before reapplying sun protection when needed.
