FAQs
What does 'mineral sunscreen' mean?
Mineral sunscreens use natural minerals like Nano Zinc Oxide (as in this product) and Titanium Dioxide to create a physical barrier on the skin's surface. This barrier reflects and scatters UV rays away from the skin, rather than absorbing them like chemical sunscreens.
Is this sunscreen suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, its mineral-based formula with soothing Cica and hydrating hyaluronic acid is generally well-tolerated and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
How often should I reapply the sunscreen?
For optimal protection, reapply the sunscreen at least every two hours, or more frequently if you are swimming, sweating, or towel drying.
Can I wear makeup over this sunscreen?
Absolutely! The lightweight, non-oily, and shine-free finish makes it an excellent base for makeup. Allow it to fully absorb for a few minutes before applying foundation or other cosmetics.
What is Cica, and how does it benefit my skin?
Cica, or Centella Asiatica, is a plant extract known for its powerful soothing and healing properties. In skincare, it helps calm irritation, reduce redness, and support the skin's natural barrier, contributing to a more even and healthy-looking complexion.
Is this sunscreen waterproof or water-resistant?
Info needed: The product description does not specify if it is waterproof or water-resistant. If engaging in water activities or heavy sweating, assume it is not and reapply more frequently.
What is the shelf life of the product?
Info needed: The exact shelf life isn't provided. Generally, sunscreens have a shelf life of 2-3 years unopened and 6-12 months once opened. Check the packaging for a 'period after opening' (PAO) symbol, typically a jar icon with a number like '6M' or '12M'.
Troubleshooting
My skin feels irritated or red after using the sunscreen.
While formulated to be soothing, individual sensitivities vary. Discontinue use immediately if irritation occurs and consult a dermatologist if symptoms persist.
I still got sunburned despite using the sunscreen.
This sunscreen provides high protection, but no sunscreen offers 100% blockage. Ensure you applied a generous amount, reapplied frequently (every two hours, or after sweating/swimming), and avoided prolonged sun exposure, especially during peak hours. Remember, sunscreen is one part of a comprehensive sun protection strategy.
The sunscreen feels sticky or doesn't absorb well on my skin.
Ensure your skin is clean and any previous skincare products have fully absorbed before applying. Try applying a slightly thinner layer and massage it in thoroughly. Its non-sticky formula should absorb quickly.
The sunscreen leaves a white cast on my skin.
As a mineral sunscreen, a slight initial cast can occur. Ensure you are massaging it in completely and allowing a few minutes for it to settle and blend into your skin. Applying in smaller sections might also help.
