SPF is the single most important step in any skincare routine, and this makes it the easiest one too. A lightweight, non-greasy broad-spectrum sunscreen delivers powerful UVA and UVB protection with no white cast and no sticky residue. Trehalose and biosaccharide gum maintain moisture under sun exposure, while tapioca starch gives a smooth, skin-perfecting finish that works as well under makeup as it does on bare skin.

Broad-spectrum UV filters (Tinosorb M, Tinosorb S, Uvinul A Plus, Uvinul T 150) — A next-generation combination of photostable UVA and UVB filters that deliver high-level broad-spectrum protection without a white cast or heavy texture.

Trehalose — A natural sugar-derived humectant that helps the skin retain moisture under UV exposure — ensuring this SPF hydrates as well as it protects.

Biosaccharide gum-1 — A prebiotic-like ingredient that supports the skin's microbiome and helps maintain a smooth, comfortable skin feel throughout the day — even under makeup.

Tapioca starch — A natural mattifying ingredient derived from cassava that absorbs excess oil and gives this formula its flawless, skin-perfecting finish — ideal as a makeup primer.

Tocopherol (vitamin E) — Provides antioxidant reinforcement alongside UV filters, helping to neutralise free radicals generated by sun exposure and protecting the skin from long-term UV-induced damage.

Coco-caprylate/caprate — A lightweight plant-derived emollient that gives this sunscreen its silky, non-greasy feel — ensuring it absorbs quickly and comfortably for daily use.
