SKIN1004 MADAGASCAR CENTELLA HYALU-CICA WATER-FIT SUN SERUM 15ML

Values: 100% Genuine (Adilsons policy) / Cruelty-Free (PETA-listed, brand-wide)*

*SKIN1004 is listed on PETA's own published "Beauty Without Bunnies" cruelty-free/vegan database — verified directly against the certifier's listing, not just a brand claim. SKIN1004 also sells through Tmall in mainland China, where post-market animal testing can legally apply; cross-border e-commerce sales may be exempt, but which channel covers this exact SKU was not confirmed.

*Adilsons could not independently cross-verify this SKU's exact active concentrations, INCI list, or SPF/PA test result against a third-party source (brand site, INCIDecoder, CosDNA, MFDS registration) at the time of writing. Where a specific number would normally appear, this description says so plainly instead of reproducing an unverified figure. See Section 23 and Section 27 for the full detail.

Pros: genuinely lightweight serum feel; small trial size lets you test the formula before committing to the 50ml; part of a Centella-based line with matching toner and sleeping pack already in our catalog; PETA-listed cruelty-free brand.

Honest caveats: this exact SKU's full INCI and SPF/PA test result were not independently re-confirmed this run; the 15ml size gives roughly one month of daily face-only use, so it is a trial size, not a value size; no independently verified customer reviews for this specific product were found.

This is a single squeeze-tube step with no rinsing, no precise multi-part dosage, and no required wait time before the rest of your morning. It can be applied with unwashed hands in a pinch, though a clean face lasts longer before the finish turns dewy-to-shiny.

On a genuinely low-energy morning, a 2-product routine of cleanser (or just a splash of water) plus this sun serum is a defensible minimum — sun protection is the one step that should not be skipped even when everything else is.

Step 1 — When: AM only, as the last step before makeup or leaving the house.

Step 2 — How much: a full line of product along your index and middle fingers (the two-finger rule) for face and neck.

Step 3 — How: pat and press into skin rather than rubbing, then wait 10-15 minutes before sun exposure or makeup.

Introduce this as the ONLY new product in your routine. Wait a full 14 days before adding anything else. This isolation window ensures you can identify whether any reaction is caused by this specific product.

1. Cleanser (optional, if skin feels oily on waking)
2. Hydrating toner/essence layer (optional)
3. Niacinamide or barrier-support serum (optional)
4. Moisturizer — light gel-cream if your skin runs dry; often skippable if this serum feels hydrating enough on its own
5. THIS PRODUCT — Sun Serum (final skincare step)
6. Makeup (optional), applied 10-15 minutes later

In Mauritius' humid mornings, humectant layers underneath this serum (glycerin, hyaluronic-acid-type ingredients) draw water from the humid air rather than pulling it from deeper skin layers — one reason a lightweight AM stack often performs better than a heavy one here.

This is an AM-only product — sunscreen has no function after dark, and applying it at night only wastes product and risks pore congestion overnight for no benefit.

In its place, a PM routine built around the same Centella line looks like: oil or micellar cleanse to remove the day's sunscreen → water cleanser → soothing toner → Centella serum/ampoule → moisturizer or sleeping pack (see Complete Your Routine below for verified in-catalog options).

Squeeze a line of sunscreen along your index and middle fingers. This is approximately 1.25ml — the amount needed for your face alone.

Technique: pat and press into skin; rubbing creates friction that can drag the filter unevenly and increase irritation risk, especially with chemical-filter formulas.

Required skin state: apply to skin that has had 1-2 minutes to absorb any prior serum or moisturizer — applying over wet or still-absorbing layers is the most common cause of pilling.

Wait time: 10-15 minutes before sun exposure so the filter forms an even film, and before makeup to avoid disturbing that film.

Hands deliver 100% of product. Cotton pads absorb approximately 30-40%. Use hands for this step.

This is an encyclopedia map of all product types. You do not use all of these daily. You select modules based on your skin state.

Global rules: viscosity ladder thinnest to thickest, water-phase before oil-phase, treatments before seals. Wait-time defaults: watery layers 10-20s, serums 30-60s, before sunscreen 10-15 minutes if going outdoors or applying makeup. Default amounts: toner/essence 5-8 drops per layer; serum/ampoule 2-3 drops or 1 pump; eye product ½ rice-grain per eye; gel moisturizer 1-1.5 peas, cream 1-2 peas; occlusive seal rice-grain to pea-size; sunscreen the two-finger rule for face, +1 finger for neck. Hydrators sit best on slightly damp skin; if the routine pills, stings, or feels heavy, reduce layers rather than add more.

AM Maximum Stack: (1) rinse/gentle cleanse (optional) → (2) pH-prep toner (optional) → (3) hydrating toner layers (optional, 1-3) → (4) essence (optional) → (5) mist (optional) → (6) booster/soothing serum (optional) → (7) antioxidant lane, one option only (optional) → (8) pigment-support lane, one option only (optional) → (9) hydration serum lane (optional) → (10) oil-control lane (optional) → (11) peptide/repair lane (optional) → (12) eye product (optional) → (13) moisturizer → (14) optional occlusive seal (only if dry/AC) → (15) sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++ — this product's position, non-negotiable → (16) lip SPF (optional). In AM, prioritize comfort and SPF adherence over stacking — in high humidity, fewer layers often perform better.

PM Maximum Stack: (1) micellar pre-cleanse (optional) → (2) oil cleanser/balm if wearing SPF or makeup → (3) water cleanser → (4) pH-prep toner (optional) → (5) hydrating toner layers (optional) → (6) essence (optional) → (7) soothing/barrier serum (optional) → (8) anchor active, if using one that night → (9) targeted serum (optional, only if non-conflicting) → (10) moisturizer → (11) sleeping mask (optional) → (12) occlusive seal (optional) → (13) spot treatment (as needed) → (14) lip sleeping mask (optional). Do not layer retinoids with AHA/BHA in the same night; keep one lane per night. This product does not appear in the PM stack — its role ends when sun exposure ends for the day.

Lane strictness: Retinoid OR Exfoliation OR Strong Vitamin C (LAA) OR Acne-control active per routine; barrier/hydration can always accompany. If unsure, default to the safest lane — barrier/hydration — and reduce layers.

This sits at the water-thin to light-fluid tier of the viscosity ladder — apply it after every other skincare step and before makeup, never underneath a serum or toner.

The layering rule is thinnest to thickest, water-phase before oil-phase: if you use a facial oil in the morning (uncommon under sunscreen, but possible), the oil goes on last, over this serum, not under it, or it will thin the sunscreen film and reduce protection.

Chemical UV filters work by forming an even film that absorbs UV radiation across the skin surface — they do not need to penetrate to the dermis to function, so a thin, even, undisturbed layer matters more than a thick one.

Before starting this product, your routine should already include a basic cleanser and, ideally, some form of daily moisturizer suited to your skin type — sunscreen is the last step, not the whole routine.

Chemical filters (as marketed here) generally have an advantage over mineral filters for deeper skin tones because they absorb into the skin rather than sitting on the surface, which is the physical reason mineral (zinc oxide/titanium dioxide) formulas are more prone to a visible cast on darker complexions.

UV protection (primary): the stated purpose of the product — shielding skin from UVA/UVB exposure that drives sunburn, photoaging, and new pigmentation.

Dehydration (secondary, if the humectant claims hold): Centella Asiatica extract is well documented in the literature for soothing and barrier-support properties independent of this specific formula's undisclosed concentration.

Post-sun pigmentation prevention, not correction: daily sunscreen prevents new UV-triggered dark marks (both PIH — brown, from melanin, which niacinamide can help fade over time — and PIE — pink/red, from capillary damage) but does not fade marks you already have; that is the job of a dedicated brightening or soothing treatment used alongside it.

What this product cannot do: it cannot reverse existing sun damage, cannot substitute for shade or protective clothing in peak UV hours, and cannot make you "immune" to sun exposure regardless of reapplication frequency.

SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Brightening Toner 30ml — same product line, worn underneath in the AM stack for extra hydration before this serum.

SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule Foam 125ml — a mild, coconut-derived-surfactant cleanser to prep skin before this serum without stripping the barrier it's meant to protect.

SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Light Cleansing Oil 30ml — the correct PM step to actually remove this sunscreen; water-based cleansers alone often leave chemical-filter residue behind.

Anua Birch Moisture Boosting Cream 50ml — a lightweight gel-cream moisturizer for dry-skin users who want a hydration layer underneath this serum.

We do not currently carry a dedicated pure L-ascorbic acid Vitamin C serum verified in stock at the time of writing — this pairing category is under sourcing review; check with us on WhatsApp before assuming otherwise.

Pilling pairs: layering this serum directly over a very thick, occlusive night cream residue (if any is left from the AM before full absorption) is the most common pilling trigger — wait the full 1-2 minutes for the prior layer to set, and reduce the amount of both products slightly if pilling continues.

Film-Forming (uncertain). Any sunscreen designed to leave an even, water-resistant film across the skin sits between water-permeable and fully occlusive, and this product's own PDP notes it is not marketed as water-resistant, which suggests the film is not designed to be a hard seal.

Without an independently verified INCI, Adilsons cannot state with confidence how completely this specific formula allows water to reach the skin during wudu.

Adilsons provides this assessment based on the product's physical properties. Rulings on wudu validity vary between scholars. Consult your own trusted Islamic authority.

MYTH: "Coconut oil or other DIY mixtures give enough sun protection." REALITY: home remedies have no verified, tested SPF value and offer no reliable protection against UV-driven skin damage — a lab-tested, labelled sunscreen is not optional in a high-UV climate like Mauritius.

MYTH: "Cloudy days don't need sunscreen." REALITY: up to 80% of UV radiation penetrates cloud cover, so skipping sunscreen on an overcast day still accumulates UV damage over time.

People sometimes try to stretch a small trial tube like this one by using less than the tested amount — reducing the two-finger-rule dose lowers your real-world SPF well below the number on the label, so treat the dosage guidance above as non-negotiable, not a suggestion.

AC environments: if this serum's humectant ingredients (as marketed) behave like typical hyaluronic-acid-type humectants, they can pull moisture from your deeper skin layers instead of the air during long air-conditioned stretches — sealing with a light moisturizer first helps offset that.

Sugar cane burning season (July-November): PM2.5 particulate increases regionally during this period; a fast-absorbing, non-tacky finish (as marketed here, unverified this run) generally attracts less airborne particulate than a heavier, tacky sunscreen, but a midday cleanse is still reasonable on high-particulate days.

Hard water note: if you double-cleanse before applying this serum, Mauritius' regionally variable hard tap water can leave a mild calcium-stearate film after rinsing; a pH-balancing toner beforehand helps offset the tightness that causes.

*The brand's own packaging is expected to carry a specific concentration figure for its Centella extract, but Adilsons could not independently cross-verify that exact figure against a third-party source this run, so it is not reproduced here as confirmed fact. Niacinamide and Adenosine concentrations are not disclosed by any source Adilsons could check.

Full INCI list: Full ingredient list not independently verified by Adilsons at the time of writing. This exact 15ml SKU's ingredient panel could not be cross-checked against an independent third-party source (brand site, INCIDecoder, CosDNA) this run; message us on WhatsApp before purchase if you need the full list confirmed against a physical unit for an allergy or religious/dietary reason.

Preservative system: not determinable without a verified INCI this run.

Fragrance status: the brand markets this as fragrance-free, but that claim was not independently re-verified against a confirmed ingredient list this run.*

EU 26 allergen screen: not assessable without a verified INCI this run.

Alcohol disclosure: not determinable without a verified INCI this run.

*Based on brand-declared claims only. If fragrance sensitivity is a hard constraint for you, ask us to confirm the ingredient list from a physical unit before purchase.

Halal status: cannot be responsibly self-assessed this run. A genuine Halal self-assessment requires checking an actual ingredient list for ethanol-from-fermentation and animal-derived ingredients, and Adilsons could not independently verify this SKU's INCI at the time of writing — so no Halal-Friendly badge is used here until that check happens.

Vegan status: for the same reason, cannot be responsibly self-assessed this run.

Cruelty-free status: SKIN1004 is listed on PETA's own published "Beauty Without Bunnies" cruelty-free/vegan database, which we verified directly against the certifier's own listing — this is a real third-party certification, not a self-assessment. SKIN1004 also sells through Tmall in mainland China, where post-market animal testing can legally apply by law; cross-border e-commerce sales may be exempt, but which channel covers this specific SKU is unconfirmed.

Reef safety: cannot be confirmed without a verified INCI this run — the brand's own current live page claims freedom from oxybenzone and octinoxate, but that claim was not independently re-checked.

Microplastic status: not determinable without a verified INCI this run.

MFDS classification (brand-claimed, unverified this run): the brand states this product is registered in South Korea as a Triple-Functional Cosmetic (UV protection, brightening via Niacinamide, wrinkle-improvement via Adenosine).* "Functional Cosmetic" status in Korea means the manufacturer submitted additional government testing beyond a standard cosmetic — but this SKU's actual registration number/date was not independently located this run.

Whitening translation: the Korean "미백" (brightening) functional classification refers to regulating melanin production and fading existing dark spots — it does not bleach skin or change your natural tone.

SPF/PA rating: the brand labels this SPF50+ PA++++.* Any Korean cosmetic making an SPF/PA claim must pass MFDS-mandated testing as a category-wide regulatory requirement, which is a point in favor of the claim being genuine, but this exact SKU's own test result was not independently located or confirmed this run.

Evidence confidence: Low for this SKU specifically — not because the science behind Centella, Niacinamide, or MFDS-tested sunscreens is weak, but because none of the SKU-specific figures above have been independently re-confirmed by Adilsons this run.

*Brand-stated claim as printed on packaging/marketing materials; the underlying MFDS test result or registration record was not independently located or confirmed by Adilsons at the time of writing.

UV filters (brand-claimed, unverified this run): the brand's own materials name four organic/chemical filters as the basis for this product's SPF rating. Adilsons could not independently confirm this exact filter list against an independent source this run, so specific filter names are not reproduced here as verified fact.*

Protection standard (brand-claimed): SPF50+ / PA++++, indicating very high UVB and extremely high UVA protection if the label claim holds.

Water resistance: the brand does not claim water or sweat resistance for this product — reapply after swimming, heavy sweating, or towel-drying regardless of filter type.

White cast: marketed as cast-free on all skin tones, consistent with a chemical-filter (rather than mineral) formula, though this specific filter identity is unconfirmed.

Eye sting risk: in Mauritius heat, sweat can carry any facial sunscreen into the eyes — avoid applying within about 1cm of the orbital bone if you have experienced stinging with chemical filters before.

Reapply every 2 hours of sun exposure. A full day outdoors in Mauritius requires 3-4 reapplications.

Reef safety cross-reference: see Conscious and Permissible Formulation above — not independently confirmed this run.

*Brand-stated filter list from marketing materials only; not independently cross-verified against INCIDecoder, CosDNA, or the brand's own regulatory filing this run.

Fungal Acne (Malassezia) compatibility: Unknown for this exact SKU without a verified INCI. A related SKIN1004 product in our research has used Polyglyceryl-3 Methylglucose Distearate, an emulsifier family flagged as ambiguous for fungal-acne-prone skin on ingredient trackers — if you are prone to Malassezia folliculitis, patch test this product on a small area for several days before full facial use.

Assessment: Low-to-Medium — chemical-filter serums generally pill less than mineral sunscreens, but layering over a not-fully-absorbed prior step is still the most common cause.

Mitigation: apply to skin that has had 1-2 minutes to absorb the previous layer, pat rather than rub, and reduce the amount slightly if you notice small rolled beads forming under makeup.

A fresh, white-to-off-white serum that turns visibly yellow, brown, or grainy has likely oxidized or degraded — discard it, since a broken-down chemical UV filter no longer reliably protects skin and can generate its own irritation.

Storage: keep out of direct sun and away from car dashboards or bathroom shelves that get genuinely hot in Mauritius' climate — heat degrades UV filters faster than most other actives.

Spoilage signs: separation that won't remix with shaking, a sour or altered smell, or a change in texture from watery-serum to gritty. When in doubt, discard.

Patch test on the inner forearm for 24 hours, then behind the ear for a further 24 hours, before full facial use — standard practice for any new chemical-filter sunscreen, doubly so here since Adilsons could not independently confirm this SKU's exact filter identity this run.

If an adverse reaction occurs: stop all actives. For 72 hours, use only a gentle cleanser and a plain moisturizer with mineral SPF. No acids, retinoids, Vitamin C, exfoliants, or essential oils. After 72 hours, reintroduce one product per 14 days.

Emergency stop signals: hives, swelling, blistering, persistent burning, or breathing difficulty — seek emergency care immediately, do not wait it out.

Pregnancy note: because the exact UV filter identity was not independently re-confirmed this run, Adilsons cannot make a pregnancy-safety determination for this specific SKU. If you are pregnant or nursing, ask us to confirm the printed ingredient list from a physical unit first, or choose a verified single-filter mineral alternative such as SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Air-Fit Suncream Light 50ml (Zinc Oxide only) in the meantime.

1. Using less than the two-finger-rule amount to "make the trial tube last longer" — this measurably lowers your real-world SPF below the tested rating. 2. Skipping reapplication because the finish "still looks fine" — filter breakdown isn't visible. 3. Applying as the only AM step and skipping a moisturizer if you have genuinely dry skin. 4. Rubbing rather than patting, which can drag the filter unevenly. 5. Applying it at night out of habit — it has no function after dark (see PM Routine Guide).

Overuse threshold: there isn't one in the traditional sense — daily reapplication is the goal, not a risk, unlike an exfoliating or retinoid active.

Usage math: at roughly 0.5ml per face application (the two-finger rule), a 15ml tube gives approximately 30 face-only applications.

Lifespan: used once daily on the face alone, this tube lasts about one month; using it on face, neck, and other exposed areas, or reapplying midday from this same tube, will shorten that considerably.

Reorder timing: because this is explicitly a trial/travel size, most repeat customers move to the 50ml version of the same formula for ongoing daily use rather than reordering the 15ml repeatedly — see Complete Your Routine below.

This 15ml tube is built for trial and travel, not as your only bottle of sunscreen long-term — the routine below treats it as your test run for the full-size formula.

AM: (1) cleanser or water splash → (2) hydrating toner (optional) → (3) light moisturizer if dry-skinned → (4) this sun serum, two-finger rule, patted in, 10-15 min before sun/makeup.

PM: oil-based cleanse to remove the day's sunscreen → water cleanser → soothing toner → Centella serum → moisturizer or sleeping pack.

If you're testing this before buying the 50ml: use it daily for at least 2 weeks so you judge the finish across a range of humidity and heat conditions, not just one day.

If you have very dry skin: layer a light moisturizer underneath rather than relying on this serum's hydration alone.

If you're pregnant or nursing: ask us to verify the exact filter list from a physical unit before use, or choose the mineral Air-Fit Suncream Light 50ml in the meantime.

Stock-true bundle — Same-line AM starter: this product + Hyalu-Cica Brightening Toner 30ml + Centella Ampoule Foam 125ml cleanser — a matched three-step AM routine from one product line.

Stock-true bundle — Trial-to-full-size: this 15ml tube + the identical 50ml Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum — buy the 15ml to test, and the 50ml once you know it works for you. A packaged version of a similar idea, the Hyalu-Cica Sunsational Kit (Sun Stick 20g + two 15ml Sun Serum tubes), is also currently in stock if you want a stick for reapplication over makeup alongside two of this exact tube.

After purchasing, you will receive our skincare education email series covering this product in depth.

The recommendations above are based on formulation synergy with this Sun Serum, not on margin or stock levels. If a pairing does not exist in our catalog, we say so. If you already own a product that fills the same role, use what you have first.

This sun serum is a good fit if a lightweight, chemical-filter, dewy-finish sunscreen is what you're after and you're comfortable with the verification gaps noted throughout this page.

For a mineral-only filter (if chemical filters are a concern, including during pregnancy): SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Air-Fit Suncream Light 50ml — a single-filter Zinc Oxide mineral sunscreen, SPF30 PA++++, from the same brand.

For SPF50+ with a mineral filter: SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Air-Fit Suncream Plus SPF50+ PA++++ 50ml — Zinc Oxide/Titanium Dioxide with Niacinamide, in a silicone-elastomer base.

For a different brand's hydrating sun serum: Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Moist Sun Serum SPF50+ PA++++ 50ml or Anua Heartleaf Silky Moisture SunCream 50ml — both currently in stock, both marketed toward sensitive/hydration-seeking skin.

If you already own a sunscreen you like, there is no pressure to switch — finish it first.

Choose this chemical-filter Sun Serum over the mineral Air-Fit Suncream Plus if you need a cosmetically invisible, fast-absorbing finish with zero white-cast risk on any skin tone: chemical filters absorb into skin rather than sitting on the surface, which is the physical reason they leave less visible residue.

If your skin is currently reactive or barrier-compromised, the mineral Air-Fit Suncream Plus is the lower-risk starting point until skin calms down.

If you are pregnant or nursing and want certainty today, choose the mineral Air-Fit Suncream Light or Plus instead — their single/dual mineral filters are simpler to verify than this SKU's unconfirmed organic-filter blend.

Don't upgrade to (i.e., don't switch to) the chemical serum if you already know you react to chemical filters, if you need pregnancy-safety certainty today, or if a matte finish matters more to you than a dewy one.

If you match the sensory-preference and skin-tone triggers above and are comfortable with the verification gaps on this page, this product is worth choosing. If not, the mineral alternative is the safer default.

This product's primary function is: daily UV protection with a lightweight, hydrating finish. You do not need this if you already own an unfinished sunscreen you tolerate well and are happy with — finish that first.

Check your shelf for another sunscreen with a similar chemical-filter, serum-like positioning before buying a second one; sunscreen doesn't expire quickly once opened, but buying a duplicate while one sits unused is still waste.

Stacking assessment: No Benefit — running two facial sunscreens at once does not add protection beyond the higher-rated one; use one, not both, per application.

Brand: SKIN1004 · Parent Company: Craver Corporation · Founded: 2016 · Headquarters: South Korea · Hero Ingredient: Madagascar Centella Asiatica.

SKIN1004 built its identity around Centella Asiatica sourced specifically from Madagascar, used as a shared base ingredient across most of its catalog rather than as a single hero-SKU gimmick. The brand's cruelty-free status is independently listed on PETA's own "Beauty Without Bunnies" database, not just brand-claimed. Whether SKIN1004 manufactures in-house or through contract manufacturers is not publicly confirmed.

Community reviews for this specific 15ml SKU were not independently found or verified in our research at the time of writing — no WebSearch or WebFetch access to Reddit, Amazon, YesStyle, or Olive Young Global was available for this exact product this run.

Sustainability: rinse the empty tube before recycling where local facilities accept mixed plastics; check with your municipality, as Mauritius recycling capability varies by region.

Is this a chemical or mineral sunscreen?
The brand markets it as a 100% chemical/organic-filter formula, though Adilsons could not independently re-confirm the exact filter list this run.

Will it leave a white cast on darker skin tones?
Chemical filters generally don't cast the way mineral filters can, and the brand markets this specific product as cast-free — but that specific claim for this SKU wasn't independently re-verified this run.

Can this replace my daily moisturizer?
For oily or combination skin in humid weather, possibly; dry skin will likely still want a moisturizer underneath for comfort.

How does the 15ml compare to the 50ml version?
Same product line and marketed formula at a smaller size — the 15ml exists specifically to trial the formula or travel with it, not as an everyday value size.

Is this safe to use while pregnant?
Adilsons could not independently confirm this SKU's exact UV filters this run, so we cannot make that determination — see the Safety and Clinical Triage sections above for what to do instead.

Chemical (Organic) Sunscreen

A filter type that absorbs UV radiation and converts it to a small amount of heat released from the skin; typically lightweight and invisible.

Mineral (Physical) Sunscreen

A filter type (Zinc Oxide, Titanium Dioxide) that sits on the skin's surface and reflects/scatters UV radiation; more prone to a visible cast.

SPF

Sun Protection Factor — a measure of protection against UVB rays, the main cause of sunburn.

PA++++

The highest UVA protection rating in the Asian PA rating system; UVA rays drive long-term aging and pigmentation.

MFDS

South Korea's Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, which regulates cosmetics; "Functional Cosmetic" status requires extra government-reviewed testing.

Niacinamide

A form of Vitamin B3 used for barrier support and fading brown post-inflammatory marks.

Adenosine

An MFDS-recognised wrinkle-care ingredient.

PIH vs PIE

PIH is brown discoloration from melanin (responds to brightening ingredients); PIE is pink/red from capillary damage (responds to soothing ingredients and time).

Keep in mind: this specific SKU's full ingredient list, exact filter identity, and SPF/PA test result were not independently re-verified by Adilsons at the time of writing; if that verification matters for your safety needs (including pregnancy), ask us on WhatsApp before purchase, or choose one of the mineral-filter alternatives above.

Assessment: Consult Oncologist.

Skin undergoing radiation or certain systemic cancer treatments is often more reactive to chemical UV filters specifically, and this product's exact filter identity was not independently re-confirmed this run — that combination means Adilsons cannot respond "Suitable" with confidence for treatment-sensitized skin.

A verified single-filter mineral alternative such as SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Air-Fit Suncream Light 50ml (Zinc Oxide only) is generally the lower-uncertainty starting point, but this is not a substitute for your care team's own guidance.

Consult your oncology care team before introducing any new skincare products during treatment.
