N8iV Beauty, founded by Native American gallerist, producer and entrepreneur Ruth-Ann Thorn, announced the launch of its first sunscreen, TIMÉT (SUN) Color-Correcting SPF 30 Sunscreen. Named after the sun in Payómkawichum/Luiseño language, TIMÉT combines ancestral plant wisdom with modern skin care science to provide sun protection while improving the skin’s appearance and color correcting.
“TIMÉT is a joyous celebration of both nature and tribal wisdom. We’ve carefully crafted this unique and powerful sunscreen to honor the healing power of traditional plant medicine while providing modern skin care protection. I’m thrilled to share this product with the world and to continue our mission of bringing ancestral beauty rituals to the forefront of today’s skincare,” said Thorn.
Inspired by Indigenous Wisdom
Rooted in indigenous tradition, N8iV Beauty draws on knowledge passed down by tribal leaders. The brand’s philosophy centers on traditional ingredients such as acorn oil, cactus extract, algae extract, and sweetgrass, which have long been used in Native American culture for their rejuvenating and protective properties.
Protect and Perfect the Skin
TIMÉT is a 100% mineral, reef-safe, nano-free SPF 30 sunscreen designed to shield the skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays. The formula offers color-correcting benefits, reducing redness, smoothing imperfections and priming the skin for a flawless finish. Its green tint blends effortlessly into all skin tones without leaving a white cast, making it ideal for daily use or as a primer under makeup.
Ingredients from the Earth
TIMÉT showcases the power of ancestral wisdom through its key ingredients:
- Cactus extract: Known for its soothing and hydrating properties, prickly pear cactus is revered in indigenous cultures.
- Algae extract: Rich in antioxidants, algae extract helps combat environmental damage and promotes skin health.
- Sweetgrass: A sacred plant used for centuries in indigenous traditions, sweetgrass improves skin tone and texture, promoting a radiant complexion.
A Path Towards Sustainable Beauty
N8iV Beauty is strongly committed to sustainability. TIMÉT is packaged in recycled glass with a faux wood plastic top, reflecting the brand’s dedication to eco-conscious practices while promoting beauty and wellness.
