• Matte & Lightweight Finish: Delivers light, airy texture that doesn't feel heavy, sticky, or occlusive on skin—perfect for daily wear and layering under makeup without disruption.
• Fragrance-Free & Skin Gentle: Free from essential oils, artificial fragrance, and unnecessary irritants—formulated with minimalist principle making it exceptionally suitable for sensitive, reactive, rosacea-prone, and acne-prone skin types.
• Brightening & Barrier Support: Enriched with niacinamide and adenosine to help even tone, reduce hyperpigmentation, support skin firmness, and strengthen skin barrier integrity.
• Ultra-High Centella Content (29,400ppm): Exceptional concentration of Centella Asiatica extract (TECA) provides comprehensive soothing, anti-inflammatory, and wound-healing benefits for maximum calming effect.
• Cruelty-Free & Reef-Safe: Officially certified cruelty-free, does not export to countries allowing animal testing, and formulated without oxybenzone or octinoxate harmful to marine ecosystems.

Primary Advantages

• Soothes & Calms Skin: High concentration of Centella Asiatica aids in reducing redness, irritation, sensitivity, inflammation, and helps strengthen the skin barrier with proven wound-healing properties.
• Multi-Tasking Formula: While active as sunscreen, it simultaneously helps brighten complexion, hydrate skin, smooth texture, reduce pore appearance, and support anti-aging benefits through niacinamide and adenosine.
• Safe for Everyday Use: Minimalist formulation with low irritancy profile makes it ideal for daily use—even suitable during pregnancy and for nursing mothers seeking gentle sun protection without risk to baby.
• Non-Greasy & Fast-Absorbing: Leaves skin feeling comfortable and breathable without heavy residue, pore-clogging feel, or interfering with makeup application—silky finish remains all day.
• Minimal White Cast: Unlike many mineral sunscreens, this formulation is engineered to minimize white cast appearance, especially compared to standard zinc oxide formulas.

Core Ingredients

• Zinc Oxide (100% - Non-Nano): Physical UV filter that reflects harmful UV rays offering broadest-spectrum UVA (I, II) and UVB protection available. Non-irritating, skin-protectant, and anti-irritant agent. Non-nano particles remain on skin surface without absorption—safe for all ages including infants and pregnancy.
• Centella Asiatica Extract (29,400ppm / TECA): Exceptional concentration of calming botanical rich in madecassoside, asiaticoside, and asiatic acid. Stimulates hyaluronic acid synthesis, supports wound healing, reduces inflammation, increases antioxidant levels, stimulates GAG synthesis, and normalizes microcirculation—comprehensive skin support.
• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): Multi-functional ingredient that brightens complexion, reduces hyperpigmentation and brown spots, refines pores, regulates sebum, increases ceramide synthesis for stronger barrier, and improves skin texture and firmness.
• Adenosine: Cell-communicating ingredient known to support elasticity, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, provide skin-lifting effects, and support overall skin rejuvenation and resilience.
• Botanical Extracts (Portulaca Oleracea, Houttuynia Cordata): Provide additional antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and soothing support to complement the core calming Centella effect—traditional medicine botanicals with proven efficacy.
• Propanediol & Butylene Glycol: Multi-functional humectants providing hydration, skin conditioning, and enhanced absorption of active ingredients while maintaining lightweight feel.

Important Notes

• Mineral Sunscreen Note: Because this is a 100% mineral (zinc oxide) sunscreen, some users may notice a slight white cast upon initial application, especially on deeper skin tones. Gentle buffing with fingertips typically blends this significantly after 1-2 minutes as formula sets.
• Patch Test Recommended: Although extremely gentle, perform patch test before full application if you have ultra-sensitive skin, known sensitivities to mineral sunscreens, or compromised barrier.
• Adequate Amount Essential: Use sufficient amount (~½ teaspoon for face and neck) to achieve stated SPF protection—insufficient application significantly reduces actual protection level and efficacy.
• Reapplication Critical: Reapply every 2 hours when outdoors or exposed to sun, or immediately after swimming, sweating, or towel drying—this is essential for maintaining continuous protection.
• Storage & Light Protection: Store in cool, dry place away from direct heat or sunlight to preserve formula stability, ingredient potency, and prevent oxidation of active ingredients.
• Complementary Sun Protection: Do not rely solely on sunscreen—wear protective clothing, hat, sunglasses, seek shade, and use additional sun protection measures when possible for comprehensive sun safety.
• Made in South Korea: SKIN1004 is a South Korean brand manufacturing to rigorous K-beauty standards with focus on clean beauty and efficacy-driven formulation.

Step 1 - Final Skincare Step: Use as the absolute final step of your morning skincare routine, after all cleansers, toners, serums, essences, and moisturizers have been applied and fully absorbed (typically 5-10 minutes after moisturizer application).

Step 2 - Apply Adequate Amount: Dispense approximately ½ teaspoon of sunscreen into your palm for face and neck combined (more for larger face or including chest/body areas). This amount is essential for achieving the stated SPF30 protection—insufficient application significantly reduces actual protection.

Step 3 - Apply Evenly: Apply the sunscreen evenly to all UV-exposed areas including entire face, neck, jawline, ears, and any other sun-exposed areas. Use gentle dabbing and spreading motions, working outward from center of face. Ensure no areas are missed for comprehensive protection.

Step 4 - Wait for Setting: Allow 15 minutes for formula to fully set and form protective barrier on skin before going outdoors (official recommendation: apply 30 minutes before sun exposure). This waiting period ensures optimal protection and allows formula to harden into protective layer.

Step 5 - Blend White Cast (Optional): If slight white cast appears (common with mineral sunscreens, especially on deeper skin tones), gently pat or buff with clean fingertips for 30-60 seconds to help it blend further into skin. Most users find this significantly improves appearance.

Reapplication Protocol: Reapply every 2 hours during outdoor exposure, immediately after swimming/water exposure, after sweating, or after towel drying for continuous protection. Treat reapplication as seriously as initial application for maximum sun safety.

Indoor/Cloudy Day Use: Even on cloudy days or when mostly indoors, UV rays penetrate clouds and windows—continue daily use for cumulative sun protection and skin health. Consistent daily use prevents photodamage and premature aging.

Makeup Compatibility: Allow full setting (15+ minutes) before applying makeup. The mineral formula creates excellent makeup primer base. Can be used under all makeup types without pilling or disruption.
