Need to Know
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this mineral sunscreen leave a white cast?
It's designed to be sheer and invisible, and it's been tested across a range of skin tones. The lightweight fluid texture is meant to blend in without the chalky finish many mineral formulas leave behind.
Is it tinted?
No, this is an untinted, invisible mineral formula. If you'd like a bit of color to even out your complexion, the tinted Physical Fusion option is the one to reach for instead.
What kind of protection does it provide?
It offers broad-spectrum SPF 50 protection using the mineral filters zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. That means it helps shield skin from both UVA and UVB rays that contribute to premature aging.
How should I apply it?
Apply it generously about 15 minutes before sun exposure, either on its own or under makeup. Reapply at least every two hours, and sooner after swimming, sweating, or towel drying.
Is it a good fit for sensitive or post-procedure skin?
Because it relies on gentle mineral filters, it's often a comfortable choice for sensitive, post-procedure, and normal to dry skin. If you're recovering from a treatment, confirm timing with your provider first.
What does the Artemia extract do?
Artemia (plankton) extract is included to help support the skin's natural resilience against UV- and heat-related stress. It complements the mineral filters as part of the overall protective formula.
Excellent SPF that I use daily and rely on as my post-procedure SPF. It glided on the skin and settled quickly. Did not cause my makeup to pill, which is excellent for a mineral SPF. I used a sponge to reapply when I wore makeup. On days with no makeup, it didn't feel like a film of build-up when I reapplied.

One of the best sunscreens I’ve used! It’s light, leaves no residue, absurd quickly and not greasy so I can wear makeup on it without problems, and the most important is that don’t cause me breakouts

The absorption wasn’t good and my skin looks greasy. It also caused redness and a burning sensation of my eyes. I have been using the mineral sunscreen for years and I regret to give a try on this product.
