I've been using this for years and I can't stop using it! I have very sensitive skin and I'm allergic to chemical sunscreens. Yes, it's thick, but that also means it lasts. It's the only mineral sunscreen I trust for sports, swimming, desert hikes, etc. It doesn't cast white or purple. I also use it with light makeup and have no issues. uzshbjncfg · shopee.ph

The texture is beautiful, lightweight, silky, and completely non greasy. It applies like a hydrating moisturiser rather than a typical SPF and sinks in quickly without leaving any white cast at all. It’s perfect under makeup and doesn’t pill, even with serums or heavier moisturisers underneath. I also love how comfortable it feels throughout the day.
