A caveat to note is that it does not guarantee 100% protection, and extended sun exposure should still be avoided.

FAQs
What does SPF50 mean?
SPF50 indicates that the sunscreen provides a high level of protection against UVB rays, meaning it would take approximately 50 times longer for your skin to redden compared to wearing no sunscreen. It also offers protection against UVA rays.
Is this sunscreen suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, this sunscreen is formulated with natural mineral filters (zinc oxide) and is considered suitable for universal skin types, including sensitive skin.
How often should I reapply this sunscreen?
It is recommended to reapply sunscreen if necessary during the day, especially after sweating, swimming, or towel drying, to maintain protection.
Can I use this sunscreen on my body as well as my face?
While formulated for the face, neck, and décolleté, it can be used on other exposed areas of the body. However, for larger body areas, a dedicated body sunscreen might be more economical.
Does this sunscreen offer protection against blue light?
Yes, the formula is designed to shield the skin from the negative effects of blue light, in addition to UVA/UVB rays and urban pollution.
What are the key active ingredients?
The key active ingredient for sun protection is natural zinc oxide. The formula also includes resveratrol, hyaluronic acid, and stem cells from Northern Dragonhead.
How much product is in the tube?
The product comes in a 40 ml tube.
Troubleshooting
Product feels heavy or leaves a white cast.
Ensure you are applying a thin, even layer. Patting the product into the skin can help with absorption. Allow a few minutes for it to settle before applying makeup. For very deep skin tones, a slight temporary cast may occur with mineral sunscreens; consistent application and blending are key.
Skin feels dry after application.
Apply the sunscreen over a hydrating moisturizer. Ensure your base skincare routine adequately addresses dryness, as sunscreen alone may not compensate for severely dehydrated skin.
Product pilling under makeup.
Ensure your skin is fully moisturized and that the sunscreen has had sufficient time to absorb before applying makeup. Avoid over-applying the sunscreen or makeup. Try applying makeup with a damp sponge.
Not sure if product is still effective.
While there is no explicit expiration date provided, it is generally recommended to replace sunscreens within 12 months of opening for optimal efficacy. Store as directed to maintain product integrity.
