What is this product?
A hybrid mineral and organic sun cream with zinc oxide sitting second and several modern organic UV filters, plus niacinamide and adenosine for brightening and firming support. The tan glow tint comes from iron oxides and pearlescent minerals. No added fragrance or drying alcohol appears in the ingredient list.
What makes it different?
The filter system combines mineral zinc oxide and titanium dioxide with three newer organic filters, a broad hybrid approach rather than a purely mineral formula. Iron oxides and synthetic fluorophlogopite give the tan glow finish, so it doubles as a light tinted product. Niacinamide at position 11 and adenosine at position 33 add functional support. The list also contains an Aspergillus ferment and several botanical extracts near the end, though at undisclosed levels.
