Throughout the month, we’ll be diving into the latest from AAPI-owned businesses, sharing some of our favorite books by AAPI authors and more.

Everyday Humans launches Rose from Above Sunscreen Base
Everyday Humans’ new sunscreen base can best be described as an SPF primer, providing you with a protective base layer for your makeup and other skin care. The new sunscreen base uses rose oil to help prime your skin, lock in moisture and smooth out fine lines, the brand says. To obtain the rose oil, Everyday Humans used a process called ingredient upcycling, wherein commercial waste byproducts are put to use rather than thrown away, according to the brand. In this case, the company extracted the oil from “exhausted” rose petals that would have been discarded. The primer also offers SPF 35 protection from ultraviolet rays using zinc oxide.
