FAQ

Q: Is this sunscreen suitable for sensitive skin?
A: Yes, this mineral sunscreen is specifically formulated for sensitive skin types. The pure physical filter (zinc oxide) provides protection without the potential irritation associated with chemical UV filters, making it ideal for reactive or easily irritated skin. The inclusion of soothing botanicals like Indian ginseng further supports skin comfort.

Q: Will this leave a white cast on my skin?
A: The formulation utilises advanced technology to minimise the whitening effect typically associated with zinc-based sunscreens. Whilst some initial sheer appearance may be visible upon application, it quickly settles to provide a natural, barely-there finish suitable for all skin tones. For best results, apply in thin layers and blend thoroughly.

Q: Can I wear makeup over this sunscreen?
A: Absolutely. The lightweight, fast-absorbing formula creates an excellent base for makeup application. Allow the sunscreen to fully absorb (approximately 2-3 minutes) before applying makeup. The mattifying properties of the oil-capture system actually help makeup adhere better and last longer throughout the day.

Q: How often should I reapply this sunscreen?
A: For optimal protection, reapply at least every 2 hours during sun exposure. Additionally, reapply after 40 minutes of swimming or sweating, and immediately after towel drying. If working indoors with minimal sun exposure, morning application is typically sufficient, though reapplication is beneficial if near windows or during lunch breaks outdoors.

Q: Is this sunscreen reef-safe?
A: Yes, this formulation is reef-friendly as it does not contain oxybenzone or octinoxate, the chemical UV filters known to harm coral reefs. The pure mineral zinc oxide provides effective protection whilst being safe for marine ecosystems, making it an environmentally conscious choice for beach holidays and water activities.

Q: Can I use this if I have oily or acne-prone skin?
A: This sunscreen is particularly well-suited to oily and acne-prone skin types. The advanced oil-capture system helps control excess sebum production whilst the non-comedogenic formula won't clog pores. The zinc oxide also offers natural antimicrobial properties that can be beneficial for blemish-prone skin.
