Product Description
A chemical-free sunscreen and skin treatment designed for skin commonly irritated by sun protection ingredients. Lavender, Green Tea and Licorice soothe irritation while mineral UV-blockers Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide invisibly defend against UVA and UVB rays. Contains no artificial fragrance or color.How It Works :
- Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide microscopic dispersions provide complete protection against UVA and UVB exposure.
- UV Smart Booster Technology enhances photoprotection with antioxidant vitamins C and E that scavenge UV-induced free radicals any time skin is exposed to daylight.
- Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate (Licorice) and Camellia sinensis (Green Tea) contain soothing isoflavonoid polyphenols to calm irritation.
- Dimethicone (Silicones) protect and reinforce barrier lipids, which are often compromised in sensitized skin conditions.

I have experienced some of the observations reported ( no itchiness and no tightness though ) but the benefits I reaped from it far outweighs the cons so I will continue to use this.
When I was young, sunscreen was not on the top of my list but now I am urged to apply a suncreen in my everyday routine to prevent more pigmentation.
I have very slight pigmentation on both cheeks and while make-up can conceals it, its still an eyesore to me, since I do not wear make-up on most of the days.
This milky-like fluid which is easy to spread, is a chemical-free sunscreen. The instruction on the bottle states that it is to be used before moisturiser but I am not comfortable in using it on my very bare face and sought the advice from Leonard Drake. One of the senior advisors says that I can use it after moisturiser if I have sensitive skin so I decided to follow her advice.
It leaves a slight white cast on the face but it poses no problem after I used a BB cream or liquid foundation over it. It is slightly greasy and leave a slight sheen after application but dries to a matt finish. There is a slight herbal scent but I am fine with that. Perhaps its psychological, but I felt that my skin is much protected nowadays.
However, on certain days when my skin is dehydrated, it tends to emphasize the dry patches on my face, so do moisturise well, before using.
According to American Cancer Society, products with an SPF of 15 or higher that also contain avobenzone (Parsol 1789), ecamsule, zinc oxide, or titanium dioxide are likely to be effective against UVB and most UVA rays.
It is also to be noted that Zinc Oxide offers broad spectrum protection against UVA and UVB (source) while Titanium Dioxide itself offers only partial UVA protection (source)
