IS THIS SUNSCREEN MINERAL OR CHEMICAL? Chemical. It uses only chemical filters for broad-spectrum UVA & UVB protection.

HOW MUCH SUNSCREEN SHOULD I APPLY? Use about ¾ teaspoon for face and neck (roughly 3 finger-lengths of product). Most people under-apply sunscreen, reducing its effectiveness. Reapply every 2 hours or after sweating, swimming or towel drying.

IS IT SUITABLE FOR ALL SKIN TONES? Yes. 97% said it looked invisible on their skin tone - from lightest to deepest.

WHY SPF 30, NOT 50? SPF 30 gives strong daily protection without compromising on wearability. It's the sweet spot for texture, comfort and coverage across all skin tones.

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SPF 30 AND 50? SPF 30 blocks ~97% of UVB rays. SPF 50 blocks ~98%. Real-world difference? Minimal - as long as you apply enough and reapply often.

IS IT INCLUSIVE? Yes. 97% in our trial said it was invisible on their skin. We're always striving for 100%.

CAN I WEAR THIS UNDER MAKEUP? Absolutely! The lightweight, dewy finish creates a smooth, hydrated base for makeup application. Allow 2-3 minutes for full absorption before applying makeup.

HOW LONG BEFORE SUN EXPOSURE? Apply 15 minutes before heading out to let it absorb properly.

BEST WAY TO REAPPLY OVER MAKEUP? Use a beauty blender to gently dab SPF on top. Make sure every area is covered.

IS IT OK FOR OILY SKIN? Yes. Dewy, not greasy. Tested on all skin types, including oily.

IS THIS SUITABLE FOR ALL SKIN TYPES? Yes! Our lightweight formula works beautifully on all skin types. Those with oily skin love the dewy-not-greasy finish, while those needing extra hydration appreciate the 8% moisture trio.

IS IT NON-COMEDOGENIC? Yes.

CAN I LAYER WITH PGA SERUM? Absolutely. Apply the serum first, wait 1–2 minutes, then follow with SPF.

CAN I MIX THIS INTO MY FOUNDATION? No. SPF should be applied on its own as the last step. But you can mix in PGA Serum for extra glow

WHAT’S THE PH LEVEL? Neutral – between 7.3 and 7.8.

IS IT WATER RESISTANT? No.

WHAT DOES 8% HYDRATION TRIO MEAN? It’s the combined level of Polyglutamic Acid, Glycerin and Squalane. Delivers hydration, smooth texture and a dewy finish.

IS IT SAFE FOR PREGNANCY OR BREASTFEEDING? Yes.

IS IT SUITABLE FOR ECZEMA OR ROSACEA? Yes, from a formula perspective. But always patch test first.

DOES IT CONTAIN SILICONES? Yes – Dimethicone and Dimethiconol (to help smooth and prevent pilling).

WHAT IS SPF AND HOW DOES IT WORK? SPF = Sun Protection Factor. It measures how well a sunscreen protects you from UVB rays. SPF 30 means you can stay in the sun 30x longer than without protection, if applied correctly.

WHY DO I NEED DAILY SUNSCREEN IN THE UK? UV rays penetrate clouds and windows year-round. Daily SPF prevents premature aging, dark spots, and maintains healthy skin barrier function - essential even on grey British days.

WHAT MAKES THIS SUNSCREEN DIFFERENT? Our unique 8% hydration trio sets us apart. While most sunscreens just protect, ours actively hydrates and creates that coveted dewy finish that makes skin look naturally healthy and radiant.

WHAT DOES SPF 30 MEAN? It lets ~3% of UVB rays through. If your skin burns in 10 mins without protection, SPF 30 stretches that to ~300 mins.

WHY OCTOCRYLENE? It’s a broad-spectrum UV filter approved by scientific experts. Safe, effective and stable - so you stay protected.
