We broke down the SPF debate so you don’t have to - here’s why our formula skips the white cast and keeps your skin happy.

When it comes to sunscreen, the debate between chemical vs. physical SPF can feel like a science class you didn't sign up for. So let's break it down minus the jargon.

What’s the difference?

Physical SPF (aka mineral sunscreen) typically uses ingredients like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide to sit on top of the skin and reflect UV rays. Think of it as a mirror.

Chemical SPF absorbs into the skin and works by converting UV rays into heat, then releasing them. It's usually lighter, invisible, and plays well with other skincare.

So, what's in our SPF?

We use chemical filters and here's why that's good news for your face.

Our Protected & Hydrated SPF 50 is designed to be your everyday essential, not just a beach-day afterthought. We chose advanced, high-performing chemical filters because they:

- Feel lightweight and invisible on all skin tones

- Layer beautifully under makeup or with other skincare

- Absorb quickly without leaving residue

- Provide reliable, broad-spectrum protection

Why we skipped mineral

Let's be honest: a lot of physical SPFs feel thick, chalky, and leave that dreaded ghost face - not cute. Many mineral formulas also don't layer well, especially with makeup or other skincare.

We believe SPF should feel like skincare, something you actually want to wear daily. So we formulated a texture that's silky, hydrating, and zero fuss.

More than just sun protection

Protected & Hydrated SPF 50 isn't just about UV defense. It's also packed with skin-loving ingredients:

Advanced UV Filters - To protect without the ghostly glow

Multi-Molecular Hyaluronic Acid + Glycerin - To deliver lasting hydration & visibly plump

Niacinamide + Pro-Vitamin B5 + Vitamin E - To help refine texture, even tone, & strengthen the barrier

Cotton Plant Stem Cell Extract - To help defend against blue light

So yes, it's an SPF, but it's also your daily moisturiser, redness reducer, and hydrating hero in one.

We Don't Do Complicated. We Do Necessary.
