Is this sunscreen suitable for daily use?
Yes, it is formulated for daily use and provides SPF 50 protection to safeguard your skin from harmful UV rays.
Can I wear makeup over this sunscreen?

How often should I reapply sunscreen?
It is recommended to reapply sunscreen at least every two hours, or more frequently after swimming, sweating, or towel drying.
What does 'post-procedure' mean in relation to this product?

Is this product tested on animals?

What are the main active ingredients?
The active ingredients are 9.0% Zinc Oxide and 7.5% Titanium Dioxide, which are mineral filters providing broad-spectrum SPF 50 protection.
Troubleshooting
Sunscreen feels heavy or greasy.
Ensure your skin is clean and dry before application. Apply a thin, even layer. If you have very dry skin, consider applying a lightweight moisturizer first and allowing it to absorb completely before sunscreen application.
Green tint appears uneven or streaky.
Use a smaller amount of product and blend thoroughly. Ensure even distribution across the skin using fingertips or a makeup sponge. Allow a minute or two for the tint to blend into the skin tone.
Skin feels sensitive or irritated after application.
While formulated for sensitive skin, individual reactions can occur. Discontinue use if irritation persists. Ensure you are not sensitive to any specific mineral ingredients (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide).
