Last updated: 2024-05-20 • Changelog: Added usage order, FAQ, safety notes.

What it is

Daily sun milk with broad-spectrum SPF50+ PA++++ protection and calming botanicals for comfortable, smooth wear.

Who it's for

  • Sensitive, combination, or blemish-prone skin needing gentle UV protection.
  • Those who prefer a light, non-heavy finish that layers well with skincare and makeup.
  • People looking for soothing support (tea tree/centella) alongside high SPF.

Key ingredients (INCI)

  • Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Extract — cosmetic soothing and refreshing feel.
  • Centella Asiatica Extract / Madecassoside derivatives — comfort for sensitive-feeling skin.
  • Niacinamide — tone-evening support and barrier care.
  • Hyaluronic Acid / Glycerin — humectant hydration for a softer finish.

Free-from / texture

  • Milky, fast-absorbing texture; designed for non-greasy, soft-matte finish.
  • Fragrance-free base; relies on botanical scent from tea tree.
  • Non-nano UV filters at cosmetic levels; avoids heavy white cast on most skin tones.

How to use & order

  • Use as the final step of morning skincare before makeup.
  • Apply generously (about two finger lengths) to face and neck 15 minutes before sun exposure.
  • Reapply every 2–3 hours outdoors or after sweating/swimming.

Conflicts & layering tips

  • Compatible with most hydrating serums (hyaluronic acid, panthenol, niacinamide).
  • If using strong exfoliants or retinoids at night, monitor for sensitivity; keep morning routine gentle.
  • Let moisturizer fully settle before applying to avoid pilling.

Evidence & notes

  • SPF50+ PA++++ indicates high UVA/UVB protection when applied at tested amounts; consumer application may vary.
  • Tea tree and centella offer cosmetic soothing; effects are supportive, not medicinal.
  • Humectants help maintain hydration; seal with moisturizer if skin is very dry.

Safety

  • For external use only; avoid contact with eyes.
  • Patch test if sensitive to tea tree; discontinue if irritation occurs.
  • Apply liberally for stated protection; insufficient amounts reduce efficacy.
  • Pregnancy/breastfeeding: typical cosmetic sunscreen ingredients; consult your physician for personal guidance.
