What it is

How to use

• AM: Apply as the final step of your morning routine. Dispense a generous amount and spread evenly over face, neck and ears. Blend to the hairline and under the chin. Wait a few minutes before applying makeup to allow the product to settle. This is a daytime sunscreen—reapply every two hours or after swimming or heavy sweating.
• PM: Remove thoroughly with a gentle cleanser and follow with your usual night moisturiser or treatment.

Why it works

• Titanium dioxide — a mineral filter that reflects and scatters UV rays.
• Zinc oxide — broad-range physical protection and a calming option for sensitive skin.
• Vitamin E — an antioxidant that supports the skin’s barrier and helps reduce environmental stress.
• Universal sheer tint — evens skin tone and minimises the appearance of white residue common to some mineral sunscreens.

What to expect

• Immediate lightweight, non-greasy finish with subtle radiance.
• The tint settles quickly — allow a few minutes before applying makeup.
• Continuous protection while the product is correctly applied and reapplied as directed; reapply after water exposure or heavy perspiration.

Good to know

• Perform a patch test if you have known sensitivities to sunscreens or mineral filters.
• Stop use and consult a healthcare professional if persistent irritation or allergic reaction occurs.
• If you are pregnant or breastfeeding and have specific concerns, discuss product use with your healthcare provider.
