A gentle, non-nano physical sunscreen that offers comfortable daily protection, perfect for Mauritius's sunny and humid climate. Its lightweight, lotion-like texture calms sensitive skin without feeling heavy or greasy.

Feeling frustrated with sunscreens that irritate your skin or feel heavy and greasy in the heat? This physical sunscreen is your solution for calm, comfortable protection.

• Texture: A very lightweight, soft lotion that sinks in without stickiness.
• Finish: Natural to soft-matte finish. Helps control excess shine, making it great for oily and combination skin.
• Best For: Oily, combination, normal, and especially sensitive skin types who prefer mineral sunscreens.
• Key Benefits: Soothes and calms irritation with Centella Asiatica, brightens with Niacinamide, and provides broad-spectrum UV protection without chemical filters.

For effective sun protection, make this the last step of your morning routine.

1. Cleanser: Start with a clean face.
2. Moisturiser (Optional): Apply a light moisturiser if your skin feels dry. Oily skin types may find this sunscreen hydrating enough on its own.
3. THIS PRODUCT: Apply generously to face and neck. See "How to Use" for the correct amount.

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

This sunscreen is the most crucial final step to protect your skin every morning.

• Minimalist (3-4 steps): 1) Cleanser → 2) Hydrating Toner/Serum (Optional) → 3) Moisturiser (Optional, depending on skin type) → 4) [THIS PRODUCT].

Wait Times: Allow moisturisers to absorb for 1–2 minutes before applying sunscreen to prevent pilling.

Daily Use — AM Only:

• Amount: Use the "two-finger" rule. Squeeze a line of sunscreen onto your index and middle fingers from base to tip. This is the correct amount for your face and neck.
• Apply to: Face, neck, and any other skin exposed to the sun.
• Method: Apply generously and evenly 15-20 minutes before sun exposure. Pat gently to help absorption.
• Reapplication: Reapply at least every 2-3 hours, and immediately after swimming, sweating, or towelling off.

If-This / Then-That:

• Oily Skin? The matte finish helps control shine. You may be able to skip your morning moisturiser.
• Deeper Skin Tone? As a physical sunscreen, it may leave a slight white cast. Apply in thin layers and pat in well to minimize its appearance.
• Sensitive Skin? This is an excellent choice as mineral filters are less likely to cause irritation.

Safety: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. A patch test is always recommended.

• Daily AM: Apply as the final step of your skincare routine every single morning, without fail. Sun protection is the most effective way to prevent premature aging and hyperpigmentation.
• Reapplication: Reapply every 2-3 hours during prolonged sun exposure.

Mauritius Note: The UV index in Mauritius is high year-round. Daily, consistent use and reapplication are essential to protect your skin's health and the results from your other skincare products.

• UV Filters: Zinc Oxide (Non-Nano Physical/Mineral filter).
• Protection Standard: SPF 30 PA++++ (Provides broad-spectrum protection against both UVB and UVA rays).
• White Cast: Contains a non-nano mineral filter which may leave a slight, minimal white cast, particularly on deeper skin tones. This can be minimized by blending well. It has a neutral tint to help it blend.
• Amount & Reapplication: Use the two-finger rule for initial application. You need approximately 1/4 teaspoon for your face to achieve the labeled SPF. Reapply every 2-3 hours of sun exposure, or after swimming or heavy sweating.
• 'Reef-Safe' Status: The brand markets this as 'Reef Safe' as it avoids harmful ingredients like oxybenzone and octinoxate. However, 'Reef-safe' is not a regulated term.

• Immediately: Skin is protected from UV rays. You may notice a calmer, less red appearance due to the Centella Asiatica. The finish is soft and matte.
• 2–4 Weeks: With consistent daily use, skin feels more balanced and less irritated. Niacinamide begins to help regulate oil production and improve skin tone.
• 4–8+ Weeks: Skin appears healthier and more resilient. The preventative benefits against sun spots and premature aging are cumulative and become more apparent over the long term.

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

Some believe natural oils offer sun protection, but they provide negligible and unreliable SPF. A professionally formulated sunscreen like this one is tested under strict conditions to guarantee its stated SPF and PA rating, ensuring your skin is properly shielded from harmful UVA and UVB rays.

• Works Well With: Vitamin C serums (applying an antioxidant underneath boosts protection), hydrating essences, and gentle moisturisers. It layers well over most skincare.
• Use Carefully With: Heavier or oil-based moisturisers, as this may affect the sunscreen's finish. Allow any preceding layers to fully absorb to prevent pilling.
• Avoid On: Do not apply on broken or irritated skin.

• Oily / Combination: Excellent. The lightweight texture and matte finish help control sebum and prevent a greasy look.
• Sensitive / Acne-Prone: Ideal. As a physical sunscreen with soothing Centella, it is very gentle and less likely to cause stinging or breakouts.
• Normal: Very suitable for daily protection with a comfortable feel.
• Dry: May be suitable if layered over a good moisturiser, but some may find the matte finish not hydrating enough. The 'Air-Fit Suncream Plus' version might be a better choice for dry skin.

• Sun Protection: Prevents sunburn, photoaging (wrinkles, fine lines), and hyperpigmentation (dark spots).
• Sensitivity & Redness: Soothes and calms irritated skin with a high concentration of Centella Asiatica extract.
• Oil Control: Helps to manage excess sebum and provides a matte finish suitable for oily skin types.
• Uneven Skin Tone: Niacinamide helps to brighten the complexion and fade redness or dark spots over time.

This product is formulated without artificial fragrances or essential oils, making it suitable for most sensitive skin types. It has no discernible scent. It is also formulated without any of the EU's declared allergens.

Who should use it? Ideal for individuals with oily, combination, or sensitive skin looking for a gentle, non-greasy physical sunscreen.

Who should use with caution? Those with very dry skin might need extra moisturisation underneath. While formulated for sensitive skin, a patch test is always advised for highly reactive individuals.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a pea-sized amount to a clean, small area of skin, such as behind your ear or on your inner jawline.
2. Wait 24 hours to observe any reaction. Check again at 48 and 72 hours.
3. If you experience any redness, itching, or irritation, discontinue use.

• Texture & Finish: A lightweight, airy lotion that spreads easily and absorbs quickly, leaving a soft, natural-matte finish without stickiness.
• Scent: Fragrance-free, with no noticeable scent.
• pH: Not publicly disclosed by the brand.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: The formula contains Glyceryl Stearate and Polyhydroxystearic Acid, which could potentially be triggers for some individuals with fungal acne. However, many user reviews suggest it performs well for acne-prone skin. As always, individual responses vary and a patch test is recommended.

• Issue: White cast is noticeable.
  Quick Fix: Apply the sunscreen in thin, even layers instead of one thick layer. Spend a little extra time patting it into the skin until it blends. The neutral tint is designed to help with this.
• Issue: Product is pilling (rubbing off in little balls).
  Quick Fix: This is usually caused by applying too much product underneath or not waiting long enough between layers. Ensure your moisturiser is fully absorbed before applying sunscreen.
• Issue: Skin feels a bit dry by the end of the day.
  Quick Fix: If you have drier skin, apply a more hydrating moisturiser before the sunscreen.

This sunscreen is an excellent match for the hot and humid climate of Mauritius.

• Humid Summers: Its lightweight, non-greasy formula and matte finish are perfect for preventing the sticky, heavy feeling that many sunscreens cause in high humidity. It helps control sweat and oil, keeping you comfortable all day.
• Drier Winters: You may need to layer a slightly richer moisturiser underneath, but the sunscreen itself remains comfortable and protective.
• Indoor/AC Environments: Provides necessary UVA protection from windows without feeling heavy or drying in air-conditioned spaces.

Here’s a summary of real user feedback from verified platforms. (Note: These are aggregated sentiments and anecdotes, not clinical results.)

• Reddit, r/AsianBeauty (2025-02): A user with a medium skin tone and a beard praised this sunscreen, stating, "I immediately felt the dedication to quality... It is moisturizing, spreads easy, and somehow leaves no white cast... it's not dewy nor matte, I'd say — but it feels lush, and I find myself feeling excited to reapply it." They rated it 5/5 and a Holy Grail (HG) product.
• YesStyle Review (2024-11): A customer with oily, sensitive skin commented, "Finally a mineral sunscreen that doesn't feel like a heavy mask. It keeps my oil under control for most of the day and doesn't irritate my skin or eyes. The white cast is very minimal and fades after a few minutes."
• Fair Caveat - Amazon Customer Review (2024-09): One reviewer with a deeper skin tone noted, "While it's much better than most mineral sunscreens, there is still a slight white cast that I have to really work in. It's not a dealbreaker for casual days, but I wouldn't wear it for photos. The matte finish is nice though."

Is this sunscreen waterproof?

It is not marketed as waterproof or water-resistant. You should reapply it after swimming or heavy sweating.

Can I use this on my body?

Yes, it's gentle enough to be used on both the face and body.

Does SPF 30 provide enough protection?

SPF 30 blocks approximately 97% of UVB rays, which is considered adequate for daily use by most dermatologists. For prolonged, intense sun exposure (like a day at the beach), SPF 50 or higher might be preferable, along with frequent reapplication.

What is the difference between this 'Light' version and the 'Plus' version?

The 'Light' (SPF 30) version is formulated to be extremely lightweight with a matte finish, ideal for oily and combination skin. The 'Plus' (SPF 50+) version has a slightly creamier texture and is more moisturizing, making it better suited for normal to dry skin types.

Best For: Individuals with oily, combination, or sensitive skin seeking a gentle, non-greasy mineral sunscreen for comfortable daily wear.

Key Benefits:

• Provides broad-spectrum physical UV protection.
• Soothes and calms the skin with Centella Asiatica.
• Lightweight texture with a natural, soft-matte finish.

Keep in Mind:

• May leave a minimal white cast on deeper skin tones.
• SPF 30 is great for daily use, but SPF 50 may be preferred for intense, prolonged sun exposure.
