This is a moisturizing physical (mineral) sunscreen that offers high-level UV protection while instantly evening out and brightening the skin with a subtle pink-beige tint. It's designed to feel like a lightweight lotion, providing hydration without a greasy finish.

• Best for: Fair to light-medium skin tones (may leave a cast on deeper skin tones).
• Good for: Oily, combination, normal, and sensitive skin types.
• What it does: Protects from UVA/UVB rays, provides a natural tone-up effect, moisturizes, and helps soothe the skin.
• Texture: A lightweight, creamy lotion that absorbs well.
• Finish: Natural, semi-matte finish with a visible brightening glow.

For a simple and effective morning routine:

1. Cleanser: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser.
2. THIS PRODUCT: Apply a generous amount (see "How to Use") to your face and neck as the final step.
3. Go: You're protected and ready for the day. This sunscreen can often replace your morning moisturizer and primer.

Mindful Consumption Note: If you already own a daily sunscreen, finish it first before starting this one. Substitute, don’t stack.

This sunscreen is the final and most important step of your morning skincare routine.

• Minimalist (2-3 steps): 1) Cleanser → 2) (Optional) Hydrating Serum → 3) THIS PRODUCT (Sunscreen).
• Expanded (4-5 steps): 1) Cleanser → 2) Toner → 3) Serum (e.g., Vitamin C) → 4) (Optional) Light Moisturizer if very dry → 5) THIS PRODUCT (Sunscreen).

Wait Times: Allow serums and moisturizers to absorb for 1-2 minutes before applying sunscreen to prevent pilling. Let the sunscreen set for a few minutes before applying makeup.

Properly removing sunscreen is crucial for skin health. Mineral sunscreens are designed to adhere to the skin, so a double cleanse is highly recommended.

• Minimalist (3 steps): 1) Double Cleanse (Oil Cleanser first, followed by a Water-based/Foam Cleanser) → 2) Hydrating Serum/Toner → 3) Moisturiser.
• Optional: Add a targeted treatment (like a brightening serum or gentle exfoliant on non-consecutive nights) before your moisturiser.

Why double cleanse? The oil cleanser breaks down the mineral filters, makeup, and sebum on your skin, and the water-based cleanser washes everything away, preventing clogged pores.

Daily Use — AM Only:

• Amount: Use the "two-finger" rule. Squeeze two lines of sunscreen onto your index and middle fingers. This is the correct amount for your face and neck to achieve the labeled SPF protection.
• Apply to: Face, neck, and ears at least 15 minutes before sun exposure.
• Method: Apply gently and evenly across the skin. Pat lightly to help it absorb and settle.
• Reapplication: Reapply at least every 2-3 hours, or more frequently after swimming, sweating, or towel drying.

If-This / Then-That Tips:

• If you have oily skin: This sunscreen's moisturizing properties may be enough to replace your regular morning moisturizer.
• If you have deeper skin: The tone-up effect can leave a noticeable cast. Apply a thin layer over a gel hydrator and pat it in well to minimize the cast, or use it as a brightening primer under foundation. A patch test is recommended.
• If pilling occurs: This is usually caused by applying too much product underneath or not waiting long enough between layers. Try simplifying your pre-sunscreen routine.

Safety: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Discontinue use if a rash or irritation occurs. For teens, this is a great way to combine moisturizing and sun protection in one step.

• Daily: Apply this sunscreen every single morning as the last step of your skincare routine, regardless of whether you are going outdoors or staying inside.
• Mauritius Note: UV radiation is strong year-round in Mauritius. Daily, consistent use is the best way to prevent sun spots, premature aging, and protect the results of your other skincare products.
• Reapplication is Key: Set a reminder to reapply every 2-3 hours if you are outdoors, sweating, or near windows.

• Immediately: Skin appears brighter, more even-toned, and has a healthy, rosy glow. Pores may appear slightly blurred. Skin feels hydrated and protected without greasiness.
• 2–4 weeks: With consistent daily use, you are actively preventing new sun damage, sun spots, and photoaging. Skin may feel more consistently moisturized throughout the day.
• 4–8+ weeks: Long-term use is about prevention. Your skin is being shielded from the primary cause of premature aging and hyperpigmentation. The benefits of other skincare products (like brightening serums) are protected and enhanced.

Why use a lab-tested sunscreen, not DIY mixes or natural oils?

Some online trends suggest using coconut oil or DIY zinc oxide mixtures for sun protection. This is unsafe. "Natural" oils offer negligible and unreliable SPF (around 1-4), providing a false sense of security. Lab-tested sunscreens like this one are formulated by chemists and regulated by bodies like the MFDS to ensure they provide stable, broad-spectrum protection at the exact level stated on the bottle. Using an untested product risks severe sunburn, long-term skin damage, and increased skin cancer risk.

• Works With: Most hydrating serums (like Hyaluronic Acid, Centella), antioxidants (like Vitamin C), and moisturizers. It layers well over simple, lightweight formulas and can serve as an excellent primer for makeup.
• Use Carefully With: Very rich, heavy, or oil-based moisturizers. Layering too many thick products underneath can sometimes cause pilling (when the product balls up). If this happens, simplify your morning routine to fewer, lighter layers.
• Avoid On: Do not apply on broken or irritated skin.

• Excellent For: Oily, Combination, Normal Skin. The formula provides moisture without being heavy and the semi-matte finish helps control shine.
• Good For: Sensitive Skin. As a mineral-only sunscreen, it is generally very gentle and less likely to cause irritation than chemical sunscreens.
• Use with Caution: Deeper Skin Tones (e.g., Fitzpatrick IV-VI). The mineral filters (Zinc Oxide, Titanium Dioxide) create a "tone-up" effect that can appear as a white or pinkish cast on tan to deep skin. A patch test is strongly recommended to see how it blends with your natural skin tone.
• May Not Be Ideal For: Very Dry Skin. While moisturizing, it may not be rich enough for very dry or flaky skin, which might require a separate, richer cream underneath.

• UV Protection: Provides high-level, broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays to prevent sunburn, photoaging, and sun spots.
• Dullness & Uneven Tone: The tone-up effect instantly brightens a dull complexion and evens out skin tone for a lively, glowing appearance.
• Dehydration: Infused with Birch Sap and Hyaluronic Acid to provide lightweight moisture and prevent sun-induced dryness.
• Redness & Sensitivity: Contains soothing ingredients like Allantoin to calm the skin. The physical filters are also less likely to irritate sensitive skin.

• Official Korean Name: 라운드랩 자작나무 수분 톤업 선크림 (Round Lab Jajangnamu Subun Tone Up Seonkeurim)
• Period After Opening (PAO): 12 months
• Date Marks: Check packaging for the expiration date (marked with "EXP" and 까지) or the manufacturing date (제조).

• Animal Testing Policy: Cruelty-Free*. Round Lab states they are a cruelty-free brand. They are not certified by a major independent body like Leaping Bunny or PETA.

• MFDS Class: Functional Cosmetic for UV Protection (자외선 차단 기능성 화장품).
• Functional Ingredients: Zinc Oxide, Titanium Dioxide.
• Clinical Evidence: The brand states this product is "Dermatologist Tested" and has completed skin irritation tests to ensure it is safe to use.
• "Tone-up" Nuance: "Tone-up" or "Brightening" in this context refers to the immediate cosmetic effect of evening out skin tone and adding radiance (e.g., for dullness or sallowness); it does not change your natural skin color.

*Brand-stated; test details (n, duration, protocol) not publicly disclosed.

Disclaimer: This is a cosmetic product, not a medical treatment. For any persistent skin conditions, please consult a healthcare professional.

• UV Filters: Zinc Oxide, Titanium Dioxide (100% Physical/Mineral filters).
• Protection Standard: SPF 50+ (protection against UVB rays, which cause sunburn) and PA++++ (extremely high protection against UVA rays, which cause premature aging and dark spots). Tested according to Korean cosmetic standards.
• Amount for Labeled Protection: The "two-finger rule" (approximately 1/4 teaspoon for the face) is essential. Using less will significantly reduce the level of protection.
• Reapplication Rules: Reapply every 2-3 hours when in direct sun, and immediately after swimming, heavy sweating, or wiping your face. Sunscreen is not a "one and done" application.
• Cast & Finish Notes: As a physical sunscreen, the "tone-up" effect comes from the mineral filters. This creates a brightening pink-beige finish that works well as a primer on fair to light-medium skin tones but may leave a noticeable cast on deeper skin.
• Reef Safety: This product uses non-nano Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide. While these are generally considered less harmful to coral reefs than some chemical filters (like Oxybenzone and Octinoxate), the term "Reef-Safe" is not officially regulated.

Key Actives Explained:

• Zinc Oxide & Titanium Dioxide: Physical UV filters that sit on the skin's surface to reflect and scatter harmful UVA and UVB rays. They are known for being very gentle and suitable for sensitive skin.
• Betula Platyphylla Japonica Juice (Birch Sap): The star ingredient. Rich in 17 amino acids, minerals, enzymes, and antioxidants, it deeply hydrates the skin and helps prevent moisture loss.
• Niacinamide: A form of Vitamin B3 that brightens the skin, helps control sebum production, minimizes the appearance of pores, and strengthens the skin barrier.
• Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid): A powerful humectant that draws moisture into the skin, leaving it feeling plump and hydrated.
• Allantoin & Portulaca Oleracea Extract: Soothing plant-derived ingredients that help to calm irritation and reduce redness.

Full INCI List:

Water, Zinc Oxide, Propanediol, Titanium Dioxide, Butyloctyl Salicylate, Caprylyl Methicone, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Niacinamide, Isododecane, Isononyl Isononanoate, 1,2-Hexanediol, Betula Platyphylla Japonica Juice, Sodium Hyaluronate, Hyaluronic Acid, Allantoin, Portulaca Oleracea Extract, Ascorbic Acid, Tocopherol, Adenosine, Lauryl Polyglyceryl-3 Polydimethylsiloxyethyl Dimethicone, Polyglyceryl-3 Polydimethylsiloxyethyl Dimethicone, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Disteardonium Hectorite, Propylene Carbonate, Aluminum Hydroxide, Stearic Acid, Iron Oxides (CI 77492), Iron Oxides (CI 77491), Ethylhexylglycerin, Disodium EDTA.

• Fragrance Status: Fragrance-Free. This product does not contain any added artificial fragrances or essential oils.
• Scent Profile: It has a very faint, neutral scent typical of unscented mineral-based skincare. Intensity: 0.5/5.
• EU Allergens: None declared by the brand based on the provided INCI list.
• Cross-reactivity note: While rare, individuals with a known severe allergy to birch pollen could theoretically have a sensitivity to birch sap. A patch test is always recommended.

Who should use it: This product is suitable for most skin types, including those with sensitive or oily skin looking for sun protection with a cosmetic brightening effect.

Who should use with caution: Individuals with medium to deep skin tones should patch test to check for a potential white cast. Those with very dry skin might need additional moisturizer.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: This is a mineral sunscreen, which is generally considered safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. However, it is always best to consult with your doctor before introducing new products.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a pea-sized amount to a clean, small area of skin, such as your inner arm or behind your ear.
2. Wait 24 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 on your face.

If irritation occurs, discontinue use immediately. Do not apply to broken skin.

• Texture: A smooth, lightweight cream-lotion that is not thick or pasty like some mineral sunscreens.
• Finish: Dries down to a natural, semi-matte finish. It provides a visible "tone-up" or brightening effect with a subtle pink-beige glow. It is not greasy or overly dewy.
• pH: Not published by the brand, but mineral sunscreens typically have a pH in the neutral range (6.5-7.5).
• Fungal Acne (FA) Compatibility: Based on an INCI review, this formula appears to be largely suitable for those with FA concerns, but individual responses can vary. Patch testing is advised.

• Issue: Product is pilling or balling up.
  Solution: This is usually from interaction with products underneath. Simplify your morning routine to fewer, lighter layers. Also, ensure you wait 1-2 minutes for your serum/moisturizer to fully absorb before applying the sunscreen.
• Issue: There is a noticeable white/pink cast.
  Solution: The "tone-up" effect is intentional. For a more seamless blend, apply a slightly thinner layer and gently pat it into the skin instead of rubbing. Applying over a well-hydrated base can also help. This product may not be suitable for all deeper skin tones.
• Issue: My skin feels a bit dry by the end of the day.
  Solution: If you have dry or dehydrated skin, you may need to layer a dedicated moisturizer underneath this sunscreen, especially on days spent in air-conditioning.

This sunscreen is well-suited for the hot and humid climate of Mauritius.

• Humid Summers: Its lightweight, non-greasy formula feels comfortable on the skin without feeling heavy or sticky. For those with oily or combination skin, its moisturizing properties may be sufficient to replace a separate AM moisturizer, simplifying your routine.
• Drier Winters / AC Exposure: The hydrating birch sap and hyaluronic acid help combat the drying effects of indoor air-conditioning or the slightly less humid winter months.
• Sun Intensity: The high SPF 50+ and PA++++ ratings provide essential protection against the strong equatorial sun in Mauritius.

Is this a chemical or physical sunscreen?

This is a 100% physical (mineral) sunscreen, using Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide as its UV filters.

Will it leave a white cast?

It is designed to have a "tone-up" effect, which is a deliberate brightening cast with a pink-beige tint. On fair to light-medium skin, this looks natural and glowing. On tan to deep skin tones, it may be noticeable. We recommend a patch test.

Can I use this if I have oily skin?

Yes, it's very suitable for oily and combination skin. Its lightweight formula provides moisture without feeling greasy, and it dries to a natural, semi-matte finish.

Does this replace my moisturizer?

For oily and combination skin types, it often can, especially in the humid Mauritian climate. For dry skin types, you may prefer to layer a light moisturizer underneath.

Is it waterproof?

The product is not marketed as waterproof. You should always reapply sunscreen after swimming or heavy sweating.

Best For: Those with fair to light-medium skin seeking a daily moisturizing sunscreen that also provides a natural, brightening primer-like effect.

Key Benefits:

• High SPF 50+ PA++++ mineral protection.
