Brightening Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50+

Mineral SPF 50+ protects against UVA and UVB rays. The manufacturer also mentions support for protection against blue light and antioxidant care against environmental influences. The tinted silky texture spreads easily, leaves no greasy residue, and creates a fresh, illuminated appearance.

Zinc oxide at a concentration of 12.3% is listed as the only active UV filter. Butyloctyl Salicylate and Ethylhexyl Methoxycrylene are listed as inactive ingredients in the source American labelling, improving texture, spreadability, and performance of the formula; therefore, the manufacturer labels the protection as 100% mineral according to FDA classification.

In an independent clinical study with 30 participants over 28 days, 83% showed a reduction in the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation, and 73% showed a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. In a consumer evaluation of an independent clinical study with 30 participants over 4 weeks, 97% agreed that the product feels lightweight on the skin, and 97% agreed that the skin looks brighter after use. In a separate self-assessment of 22 participants after 1 use, 95% agreed that the product left no white cast. These are results reported by the manufacturer; individual results may vary.

The silky, lightweight emulsion spreads smoothly and leaves a radiant, non-chalky finish. It works as a smooth base under makeup without pilling when the correct amount of each layer is applied. The formula contains no synthetic fragrance; the natural aroma comes from, among others, rose water and rose oil.
