A lightweight, hydrating chemical sunscreen that feels more like a skincare essence than a traditional sunblock. It absorbs quickly with no white cast, making it perfect for daily use in Mauritius, especially for those with normal, combination, or oily skin who dislike heavy or greasy textures.

• Best For: Daily sun protection, especially under makeup.
• Key Benefits: Provides broad-spectrum UV protection while hydrating the skin, leaving a comfortable, natural finish without stickiness.
• Feel & Finish: A watery, essence-like lotion that sinks in quickly, leaving skin feeling moisturized and fresh with a subtle glow.

1. Cleanser — Start with a clean base.
2. THIS PRODUCT (AM Only) — Apply two full finger lengths to face and neck as your final skincare step.
3. Moisturiser (PM Only) — Use your regular moisturiser in the evening.

Note: Already own a sunscreen? Finish that first to practice mindful consumption (substitute, don’t stack).

Minimalist Routine (2-3 steps):

1. Cleanser: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser.
2. (Optional) Moisturiser: If your skin is dry, apply a light moisturiser first. Many find this sunscreen hydrating enough to be used alone.
3. THIS PRODUCT: Apply generously as the final step.

Wait Times: Wait 1-2 minutes after your moisturiser (if using) before applying sunscreen. Wait another 2-3 minutes before applying makeup to prevent pilling.

Since this is a sunscreen for daytime use, your evening routine should focus on cleansing and repair.

Minimalist Routine (2-3 steps):

1. Double Cleanse: Start with an oil cleanser to melt away sunscreen and makeup, followed by a water-based foam or gel cleanser.
2. (Optional) Serum: Apply any targeted treatment serums (e.g., for hydration or brightening).
3. Moisturiser: Finish with a night cream to lock in moisture and support skin repair overnight.

• Amount: Use the "two-finger rule." Squeeze the sunscreen along the length of your index and middle fingers. This is the correct amount for your face and neck to achieve the labeled SPF protection.
• Apply to: Dry face and neck after all other skincare products.
• Method: Gently smooth over the skin until absorbed. Don't forget your ears, hairline, and the back of your neck.
• Frequency: Every morning, 15-20 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply at least every 2 hours if you are outdoors, sweating, or swimming.

Sunscreen is a non-negotiable daily step to protect your skin and the results of your other skincare products.

• Monday to Sunday (AM): Use as the final step of your morning routine, every single day, regardless of the weather.

Mauritius Note: UV rays penetrate clouds and glass. Daily use is essential for preventing sun spots, premature aging, and protecting your skin barrier, even when indoors or on overcast days.

• Immediately: Skin feels hydrated, refreshed, and protected with no greasy film or white cast.
• 2–4 weeks: With consistent daily use, your skin is better protected from daily UV damage. You may notice your skin tone appears more even as new sun-induced dark spots are prevented.
• 4–8+ weeks: Long-term, daily sun protection is the most effective way to prevent premature aging, including fine lines, wrinkles, and sun spots. The benefits are cumulative and preventative.

Why This? A professionally formulated, lab-tested sunscreen ensures you get reliable, broad-spectrum protection against both UVA (aging) and UVB (burning) rays.

Not That: DIY sunscreen mixes using coconut oil or zinc powder. These homemade concoctions do not provide stable or adequate protection, leaving your skin vulnerable to sun damage, premature aging, and an increased risk of skin cancer.

• Works Well With: This sunscreen is designed to be the last step of your routine and layers well over most serums and moisturisers, including those with Vitamin C, Niacinamide, and Hyaluronic Acid. Its essence-like texture helps it sit comfortably without pilling.
• Use Carefully With: Very rich or oily moisturisers. Allow heavy creams to fully absorb for several minutes before applying this sunscreen to avoid a greasy feel or potential pilling.
• How to Layer Under Makeup: Apply the sunscreen, wait 2-3 minutes for it to set, then proceed with your primer and foundation. This wait time is key to a smooth, non-pilling finish.

• Oily / Combination: Excellent. Its lightweight, non-greasy formula provides hydration without adding shine, making it comfortable even in Mauritius' humidity.
• Normal: Very suitable. Provides the perfect amount of moisture and protection for a healthy glow.
• Dry: Good, but may require a dedicated moisturiser underneath for sufficient hydration, especially on drier days or in air-conditioned environments.
• Sensitive: Use with caution. As a chemical sunscreen with fragrance, it may cause stinging or irritation for highly reactive skin. A patch test is strongly recommended. Some users report stinging around the eyes.

• Sun Protection: Provides broad-spectrum SPF45 and PA+++ to shield skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays.
• Prevention of Photoaging: Daily use helps prevent the formation of fine lines, wrinkles, and sun spots caused by sun exposure.
• Dehydration: The essence-like formula contains hydrating ingredients that help moisturise the skin, making it feel comfortable and plump.

• UV Filters: Chemical Filters (Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Phenylbenzimidazole Sulfonic Acid, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine).
• Protection Standard: SPF 45 (UVB protection) and PA+++ (UVA protection), tested according to South Korean regulations.
• Finish & White Cast: Leaves a natural, slightly dewy finish with no white cast, making it ideal for all skin tones.
• Water Resistance: The formula is stated to be water and sweat-resistant, making it suitable for humid conditions and light activity. However, for prolonged swimming or heavy sweating, reapplication is crucial.
• SPF Reality Check: To get the full SPF 45 protection, you must apply the correct amount (two full fingers for face and neck). Using less product significantly reduces the level of protection.
• Reapplication Rules: Reapply at least every 2 hours when in direct sun. Reapply immediately after swimming, toweling dry, or heavy sweating.

• Fragrance: Contains added fragrance ("Parfum"). Reviews describe it as a light, pleasant, and fresh floral scent that is not overpowering.
• EU Allergens: The full INCI list does not declare common EU allergens like Linalool, Limonene, or Geraniol, but "Fragrance" can be a composite of many ingredients.
• Essential Oils: Does not appear to contain essential oils.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Contains Polysorbate 60 and Sorbitan Olivate, which may be potential triggers for fungal acne. Individual responses may vary.
• Patch Test Advised: Due to the presence of fragrance and multiple botanical extracts, a patch test is recommended for those with sensitive or reactive skin.

Who Should Use With Caution:

• Individuals with highly sensitive skin or known allergies to chemical sunscreens or fragrance.
• Some users report stinging eyes if the product migrates. Avoid applying too close to the lash line.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a pea-sized amount to a clean, small area of skin, such as behind the ear or on the inner jawline.
2. Wait 24-48 hours to observe for any signs of irritation like redness, itching, or burning.
3. If no reaction occurs, the product is likely safe for you to use. If irritation develops, discontinue use.

General Safety: For external use only. Avoid contact with broken skin. Discontinue use and consult a doctor if a rash or prolonged irritation occurs.

• Texture: A lightweight, watery lotion or essence. It spreads easily without dragging on the skin.
• Finish: Dries down to a natural, slightly dewy finish. It is not greasy, oily, or sticky.
• Scent: A mild and fresh floral fragrance.
• pH: Not publicly disclosed by the brand, as is common for sunscreen formulations.

• Issue: My eyes are stinging.
  Solution: This can happen if sunscreen gets too close to the eyes. Avoid applying directly on the eyelids or lash line. Apply it around the orbital bone. Some users find mineral-based sunscreens less likely to cause eye sting.
• Issue: The product is pilling or balling up.
  Solution: Pilling usually occurs from applying too much product or not allowing previous layers to absorb. Use a slightly smaller amount and wait 1-2 minutes between your moisturiser and this sunscreen.
• Issue: My skin feels a bit itchy or irritated after application.
  Solution: Discontinue use immediately. This may be a sensitivity to one of the chemical filters or the fragrance. Consider switching to a fragrance-free, mineral-based sunscreen.

This sunscreen's lightweight, non-greasy, and hydrating formula is exceptionally well-suited for the hot and humid climate of Mauritius.

• Humid Summers: Its essence-like texture provides sun protection without feeling heavy or suffocating. For those with oily or combination skin, it can often replace a separate morning moisturiser, simplifying your routine.
• Drier Winters / AC Environments: The hydrating properties help combat dryness from indoor air-conditioning. If your skin is very dry, you may want to layer a light moisturiser underneath for extra comfort.
• Outdoor Activity: As it is sweat and water-resistant, it offers reliable protection during daily activities. However, be sure to reapply every 2 hours for continuous coverage.

Can I use this instead of a moisturiser?
If you have oily or combination skin, you may find this sunscreen hydrating enough to use on its own in the morning, especially in humid weather. If you have dry skin, it's best to apply a moisturiser first.

Does it work for dark skin tones?
Yes, absolutely. Its lightweight, essence-like formula absorbs completely with no white or grey cast, making it an excellent choice for melanin-rich skin.

How do I reapply it over makeup?
Reapplying lotion-type sunscreens over makeup can be tricky. For best results, gently pat a small amount over your makeup with clean fingertips or a makeup sponge. For easier reapplication throughout the day, consider using a sun stick or a sun cushion as a top-up.

Best For: Those with normal, combination, or oily skin looking for a cosmetically elegant daily sunscreen that feels like skincare.
