This product offers a good level of protection against both UVB and UVA rays.
This sunscreen uses organic (so-called "chemical") sunscreen filters. Organic, or "chemical" filters usually provide reliable sun protection and rarely leave a white cast. Sunscreens with organic filters can sting eyes.
This product can be considered "reef safe" because it does not contain the UV filters (oxybenzone and octinoxate) that can be harmful to coral reefs when present in the water in high concentrations.
“This lightweight sunscreen visibly brightens dark spots, refines pores, and smooths fine lines and wrinkles while supporting a strong moisture barrier.”
This product can help prevent early signs of skin aging because it offers a good level of broad spectrum sun protection. Sun damage is the main cause of premature skin aging, and protecting your skin from the sun is the best anti-aging strategy.
“What it is: A sheer, lightweight sunscreen that visibly evens skin tone, improves texture, and refines pores over time while quickly giving skin some extra visible bounce and a moisture-barrier boost.”
This product offers broad spectrum sun protection. It means that it can prevent hyperpigmentation and help keep the skin tone even (sun damage is the main factor causing age spots, darkening of post-acne marks and other discolorations).
“What it is: A sheer, lightweight sunscreen that visibly evens skin tone, improves texture, and refines pores over time while quickly giving skin some extra visible bounce and a moisture-barrier boost.”
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
glycerin, hyaluronic acid.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: butyrospermum parkii butter, caprylic/capric triglyceride.

Wonderful finish, wouldn’t know it’s sunscreen unless someone told you
An amazing cream, but very irritating dry and sensitive skin.
A little goes a long way. A little more dewy than I’m used to but I like it. I may use this in the colder months and switch to something lighter in the summer. It does have a scent but I don’t mind that at all. I also like the SPF.
