How to use
Apply generously every morning as the last step of your skincare, over face, neck and chest, 15 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply at least every 2 hours, and after 80 minutes of swimming or sweating or straight after towel drying. Can be worn alone or over moisturiser. Mineral sunscreens may leave a slight white cast on some skin tones; tinted make-up can be layered on top.
The science behind the formula
Zinc oxide (12%, non-nano) is a mineral filter that protects against both UVA and UVB rays. Squalane, jojoba oil and sodium hyaluronate hydrate and help maintain a healthy skin barrier. Grape seed extract and green tea extract provide antioxidant support against environmental damage, while bisabolol and allantoin help soothe and calm the skin. Vitamin E (tocopherol) adds further antioxidant protection.
Clinic tip
Daily SPF is essential after peels, laser, microneedling and while using retinoids or vitamin C. A mineral formula like this one is a comfortable choice for skin that feels sensitive after treatment.
