Explore Help Center
What makes this sunscreen good for sensitive skin?

It's a 100% mineral formula with 12.9% zinc oxide, paired with calming Centella Asiatica, ceramides, and a patented amino acid complex meant to soothe and strengthen the barrier. That combination makes it gentle for sensitive, reactive, or rosacea-prone skin.

How should I apply and reapply it?

Apply it liberally to the face and neck about fifteen minutes before heading outdoors. Reapply at minimum every two hours, and after eighty minutes of swimming or sweating or immediately after towel drying.

Will it leave a white cast?

It's formulated to wear lightweight with a soft finish and minimal to no white cast, so it's comfortable for daily use and layers well under makeup or on its own.

Is it a good option after in-office treatments?

Its barrier-supportive, fragrance-free profile makes it well suited to post-procedure skin. Because recovery differs by treatment, check with your provider on when to reintroduce sunscreen.

Does mineral sunscreen protect as well as chemical formulas?

Yes. This zinc oxide formula provides broad-spectrum SPF 50 protection against both UVA and UVB rays. The key to any sunscreen's effectiveness is applying enough and reapplying regularly.
