Works for
Sun protectionSPF 35 · 1 UV filterBroad spectrum
This product offers a good level of protection against both UVB and UVA rays.
It is a mineral sunscreen. In other words, it contains non-organic UV filters. It will probably not sting your eyes but might leave a white cast.
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.
MoisturizingCeramide 3, Lauroyl lysineWorks well
“• Ceramides and Olive Glycerides: Help seal in moisture.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: ceramide 3.
Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: ceramide 3
Anti-agingSide benefit · Ascorbyl palmitateWorks well
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.

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).

User reviews
2 of 2 community members would buy it again.
I have this SPF 35 powder and I’m still reviewing it. I think of it as an add-on for SPF coverage; have it in my purse to help as an SPF top-up/refresher. Less messy than a cream sunscreen for re-applying. Gives a soft, matte finish (I have drier skin, not oily). I have this powdered sunscreen in shade “Deep.”
