The LAPOTHICELL NATURAL MINERAL SUN PROTECTION SPF50+ PA++++ is a powerful sunscreen that protects the skin against UV rays, and helps soothe and protect sun-irritated skin. It is mild enough for use on sensitive skin, and for use by kids. It has a light and gentle texture that won’t leave the skin feeling sticky or hinder makeup application.
Hailing from Korea, Lapoticell is a name coined by joining "l’apothicaire", an old French word
for pharmacists who used to prescribe individuals with appropriate medicine, and "cell" for cutting-edge skin technology.
Lapoticell proposes a simple method of applying four easy formulas to love your skin.
Add what skin wants, subtract skin concerns, multiply functions on skin and even out skin tone.
Lapothicell promises to use only credible ingredients with multiple efficacies and high-quality substances. Their products do not contain artificial scents and coloring and only use minimum
amounts of preservatives.
I purchased Lapothicell Natural Mineral Sun Protection SPF 50 PA++++ when I was in Korea, after coming across reviews on Instagram.
Packaging, Scent and Texture
Lapothicell Natural Mineral Sun Protection SPF 50 PA++++ comes in a white clinical tube with blue and white fonts. It has a nice floral scent and the texture is slightly thick and creamy with a cooling sensation.

I was initially put off by the obvious white cast and the difficulty in blending on my fair skin but I came to love it, with time, because I noticed it helped to neutralize the redness on my skin and made my skin appeared better. In fact, the white cast has become less obvious the more I used it.
Do note that the last 5% of contents were difficult to be dispensed from the tube and I had to cut the tube to deplete them.
Performance and Ingredients
Lapothicell Natural Mineral Sun Protection was a little drying with a taut feel on skin and hands when I first started using it while pairing with Kora Organics Cream Cleanser, Balancing Rose Mist and Hydrating Moisturiser.
Thereafter, it was less drying after I added So Senz Serum into my skincare routine, prior to sunscreen application.
With the right hydrating skincare products, Lapothicell Natural Mineral Sun Protection can work pretty well and because the white cast also help to minimize the redness on skin, my skin looked relatively better even without makeup.
The product uses Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide to protect against UVA ( A for aging ) and UVB rays ( B for burning ).
Other ingredients include :
Salvia Hispanica Seed Extract : Also known as chia seeds. Contains Omega-3 fatty acids which works as an antioxidant to hydrate and calm your skin.
Centella Asiatica Extract : Contains potent antioxidant properties and is a rich source of amino acids, with additional research showing that it’s a good hydrating ingredient to soothe upset or compromised skin.
Houttuynia Cordata Extract : An astringent and is anti-inflammatory.
You can also refer to CosDNA for the full ingredient list breakdown where it reflects that most of the ingredients have a low acne and irritability rating.

Conclusion
To conclude, Lapothicell Natural Mineral Sun Protection is slightly drying on my combination-dehydrated skin type but with the right hydrating skincare routine, I can get it to work well. I don't mind repurchasing it.
