WHAT IS A MINERAL SUNSCREEN?There are only two ingredients that are classified as mineral sunscreens, Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide. Zinc Oxide provides broad spectrum protection. Applying Every Two Hours: Apply sunscreen before going outdoors 15 minutes before. This gives your skin enough time to absorb it and provide protection against the harmful UV rays. If you wait until you are in the sun to apply sunscreen, your skin is unprotected and can burn. As a result, before you even apply it, you’re already better informed, and it takes just a couple of minutes to read through. It’s a thoughtful touch that we appreciated, and true to form does cut through a lot of the beauty jargon surrounding skincare. How is best to reapply? If reapplying over makeup, we would recommend to reapply with a beauty blender and lightly dab all over the face until it's been absorbed, and each area is covered. Reapply frequently, especially after perspiring, swimming or towelling.

In real terms, this means that if unprotected skin would take ten minutes to show signs of burning, then after properly applying SPF 30 sunscreen itwould slow the rate ofsun burnto the point where it would take 30 times longer. I have to remind myself that the difference between an SPF 30 and 50 is slight. An SPF 30 defends the skin from approximately 97% of UVB rays, whereas a 50 filters out 98%. So it isn’t as big a deal as it sounds. I just can’t help wanting everything to be that one percent more! Anyway… Can I add this SPF into my makeup/foundation as it contains SPF?

We wanted to create an SPF that would fit into everyone’s everyday routine as Step 5 to ensure everyday protection without compromising on dewy skin. We’ve worked hard to create a formula that balanced wearability with protection. After rigorous testing on multiple levels of SPF, this formula was the one that guaranteed to be truly suitable for all skin tones and types.

It is plumping and smoothing, so will be great for minimal makeup days when perhaps you just want to wear a touch of concealer and not much else. IS THIS PRODUCT VEGAN?Yes!
