How well this product works for different skin types
Contains moisturizing agents like aloe vera, beeswax, and cetearyl alcohol, which help hydrate and protect dry skin. However, the presence of alcohols and silicones may not provide deep nourishment for severely dry skin.
Includes isopropyl palmitate and beeswax, which can be comedogenic and may feel heavy or greasy on oily skin. Silicones can help with texture but may not offset the occlusive ingredients.
Fragrance-free and contains soothing aloe vera, reducing risk of irritation. However, beeswax and isopropyl palmitate can occasionally cause reactions, so caution is advised for highly sensitive skin.
Hydrating ingredients benefit dry areas, but heavier emollients may be too rich for oily zones. Suitable for combination skin with careful application.
Contains isopropyl palmitate and beeswax, both of which have moderate comedogenic potential and may trigger breakouts in acne-prone individuals.
Balanced formula with hydrating and protective ingredients, fragrance-free, and generally safe for normal skin without specific concerns.
Seasonal Usage Recommendations
How to use this product throughout the year
Winter
Apply generously as your daily sunscreen, especially if spending time outdoors. The beeswax and aloe help protect against dryness from cold air and indoor heating, but consider layering with a richer moisturizer if your skin feels tight or flaky.
Spring
Continue daily use to protect against increasing UV exposure. The fragrance-free formula is suitable for sensitive or allergy-prone skin during pollen season. Lightweight texture works well as humidity rises.
Summer
Use liberally and reapply every 2 hours, especially with outdoor activities, sweating, or swimming. The SPF50+ provides strong protection against intense sun. The non-greasy, fragrance-free formula is ideal for hot, humid weather and sensitive skin.
Fall
Maintain daily use as UV rays remain significant. The moisturizing ingredients help buffer skin against wind and dropping temperatures. Begin pairing with a hydrating serum or cream as air becomes drier.
Enhanced Usage Instructions
Detailed usage guidance for different skin concerns and best practices
Usage by Skin Concern
Dry Skin
This sunscreen contains moisturizing agents like beeswax and aloe vera, making it suitable for dry skin. Apply after your moisturizer to lock in hydration. Reapply every 2 hours when outdoors. If skin feels tight, layer a hydrating serum or cream underneath.
Oily Skin
Although non-comedogenic, the presence of isopropyl palmitate and silicones may feel heavy for very oily skin. Apply a thin, even layer after a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer. Blot excess shine with a tissue if needed. Avoid layering with heavy creams.
Sensitive Skin
Fragrance-free and containing soothing aloe, this sunscreen is suitable for sensitive skin. Patch test before full application. Apply gently to avoid irritation, especially around the eyes. Reapply as directed, and discontinue use if redness or stinging occurs.
Combination Skin
Apply a moderate layer to all areas, focusing on drier zones with a slightly thicker application. For oilier areas (like the T-zone), use a lighter touch. Reapply every 2 hours when exposed to sunlight.
Acne-Prone Skin
While generally non-irritating, isopropyl palmitate can be comedogenic for some. Patch test before use. Apply a thin layer, avoid layering with heavy or occlusive products, and cleanse thoroughly at night to prevent buildup.
Usage Tips & Best Practices
Daily Use
Apply every morning as the final step in your skincare routine, 15-20 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply every 2 hours when outdoors, after swimming, sweating, or towel drying.
Night Use
Sunscreen is not needed at night. Cleanse thoroughly in the evening to remove all traces of sunscreen and prevent clogged pores.
Frequency
Use daily, year-round, regardless of weather. Reapply every 2 hours during sun exposure, and immediately after swimming, sweating, or towel drying.
Amount
Use approximately 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 mL) for the face and neck, or a nickel-sized amount. For the body, use about 1 shot glass (30 mL) for full coverage.
Best Time
Best applied in the morning, 15-20 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply throughout the day as needed, especially if outdoors.
