Ingredients & Specific Concerns

Is Vitamin C safe for everyday use?

Yes! Daily use is not only safe but recommended for best results. Use 2-3 drops twice daily.

Does Vitamin C cause sun sensitivity?

No, Vitamin C doesn't cause photosensitivity. However, it works best with sunscreen for protection and to prevent damage. Always apply SPF 50+ during the day.

What's SPF and what does it mean?

SPF = Sun Protection Factor. SPF 50 blocks approximately 98% of UVB rays. Higher SPF provides only slightly more protection. SPF 50+ is considered excellent protection.

Will the sunscreen make me greasy?

No! Our sunscreen formula is specifically designed to be lightweight and non-greasy. It's suitable for all skin types including oily skin.

Does your sunscreen leave a white cast?

No! Our sunscreen is formulated to blend seamlessly with all skin tones. There's no white residue or cast.

What's the difference between chemical and physical sunscreen?

Chemical sunscreen absorbs UV rays while physical sunscreen reflects them. Our sunscreen is physical (mineral-based) using Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide, making it gentler and more suitable for sensitive skin.
