This non-comedogenic and fragrance-free sunscreen absorbs quickly, leaving a clean, matte finish that controls excess oil. It offers a no white cast formula that is 80 minutes water and sweat-resistant, making it perfect for daily use, even under makeup.

Key Benefits & Purpose

This sunscreen is a multi-action formula created to protect, soothe, and control.

• High UV Protection & Tanning Prevention: Provides broad-spectrum SPF 50+ PA++++ coverage to shield skin from damaging UVA and UVB rays, preventing sunburn and tanning.

• Soothes Inflammation & Calms Redness: Powered by CICA (Centella Asiatica), a healing herb rich in Madecassoside, it actively calms existing redness, soothes inflammation, and comforts sensitive skin.

• Controls Excess Oil & Matte Finish: This oil-free formula is designed to control excess oil and shine throughout the day, leaving a comfortable, non-greasy, and long-lasting matte finish.

• Fades Dark Spots & Acne Scars: Enriched with Niacinamide (Vitamin B3), which works over time to fade the appearance of acne scars and sun-induced dark spots, leading to a clearer, more even skin tone.

• No White Cast & Water Resistant: The ultra-light, quick-absorbing texture blends seamlessly into the skin with no white cast. It is also 80 minutes water & sweat resistant, making it ideal for active lifestyles.

Section 3: Key Ingredients: The Science Inside

This formula’s efficacy comes from its blend of soothing botanicals, active vitamins, and modern UV filters.

Key Ingredient Breakdown:

• CICA (Centella Asiatica) Leaf Extract: A “hero” ingredient for sensitive skin. This healing herb is rich in Madecassoside, which works to calm redness, soothe inflammation, and support a healthy skin barrier.

• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): A “do-it-all” active that fades acne scars and sun-induced dark spots, regulates oil production, and helps to minimize the appearance of pores.

• Hybrid UV Filters (including Zinc Oxide): A blend of modern chemical and mineral filters (like Zinc Oxide) that work together to provide high-level, broad-spectrum protection without leaving a heavy, white cast.

• Green Tea Leaf Extract: A powerful antioxidant that soothes the skin and protects it from environmental free-radical damage.
