Primary Advantages

• Reduces Visible Redness & Discomfort: Aloe and skin-conditioning agents help calm inflammation, redness, sensitivity, and post-acne irritation for a more balanced complexion.
• Leaves Skin Refreshed & Hydrated: Lightweight formula absorbs well and can double as a light moisturizer in suitable climates, eliminating the need for separate moisturizer in warmer seasons.
• Ideal for Daily Wear: Suitable for everyday use; blends seamlessly under makeup as the last layer of skincare or worn bare-faced without greasiness.
• Comfortable Sun Protection: Provides daily sun protection without heavy, greasy, or occlusive feel—perfect for combination or oily skin seeking sun defense.
• Antioxidant Support: Vitamin E and botanical extracts protect against free radical damage and environmental stressors beyond UV radiation.

Core Ingredients

• Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera) Leaf Extract (~55,000 ppm): Natural powerhouse rich in vitamins A, C, E, amino acids, and antioxidants. Calms, hydrates, soothes irritation, and supports skin barrier repair and regeneration.
• Evening Primrose Extract (Oenothera Biennis): Contains gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) and omega-6 fatty acids that help reduce irritation, strengthen the skin barrier, and support natural ceramide production.
• Tea Tree Extract (Melaleuca Alternifolia): Provides mild antibacterial, antifungal, and soothing benefits ideal for sensitive, acne-prone, or easily irritated skin.
• Glycerin & Propylene Glycol: Humectants that draw moisture into skin and lock hydration for long-lasting softness and plumpness throughout the day.
• Titanium Dioxide & Chemical UV Filters: Combination of physical (mineral) and chemical sunscreen active ingredients offers reliable, broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB radiation.
• Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E): Potent antioxidant that protects against free radical damage, environmental pollutants, oxidative stress, and premature aging.

Important Notes

• Skin Type Compatibility: Many skin types benefit including sensitive, combination, drier, and normal skin. Those with oily or acne-prone skin in humid weather may prefer lighter layers or thinner application to avoid buildup.
• Contains Fragrance: Product includes fragrance and certain filter/alcohol ingredients. Patch test is strongly recommended if you have extremely sensitive skin or known fragrance allergies.
• Reapplication Essential: Reapply every 2-3 hours when exposed to sun for optimal protection. Not marketed as water-resistant or sweat-proof, so reapply after swimming, sweating, or outdoor activities.
• Proper Amount: Use adequate amount (two-finger rule/more) to achieve the stated SPF protection. Insufficient application significantly reduces actual protection level.
• Storage Advice: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat and sunlight to maintain sunscreen efficacy and prevent formula degradation.

Step 1 - Apply Generously: At the final stage of your morning skincare routine (after serum, essence, and moisturizer), apply a generous amount evenly to face, neck, and other exposed areas.

Step 2 - Adequate Coverage: Use at least two fingers' worth of product (roughly 1/4 teaspoon) for face alone to ensure adequate SPF protection. Insufficient application significantly reduces actual sun protection level.

Step 3 - Wait Before Sun Exposure: Allow the sunscreen to set for at least 15 minutes before sun exposure to ensure all active ingredients have properly bonded to skin for maximum effectiveness.

Step 4 - Reapply Regularly: Reapply every 2–3 hours during prolonged outdoor activities, after sweating, swimming, or towel drying. Although not marketed as water/sweat-proof, consistent reapplication maintains protection throughout the day.

Makeup Compatibility: Once sunscreen has set, apply makeup directly over top. The smooth, light texture serves as an excellent makeup primer.

Daily Use: Use every day, even on cloudy days or when indoors near windows, as UV rays penetrate clouds and glass.
