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.
