Why 100% Mineral?
Mineral sunscreens, made with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, provide powerful, skin-friendly protection against the sun. Instead of absorbing into the skin, they sit on the surface and reflect harmful UVA and UVB rays to prevent sun damage and premature ageing.
Because of their clean, non-chemical formulas, mineral SPFs are gentler on sensitive skin and safer for the environment.
Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin
Free from chemical UV filters

Tinted sunscreen is better for melasma because it contains ingredients called iron oxides that block visible light from the sun.
