How the formula works together
Two groups of ingredients are doing the work here. Calming ingredients — Centella Asiatica Extract and Panthenol — work on the look of redness. Moringa Oleifera Seed Oil sits on top and slow how fast that water leaves.
Emollients and lipids and calming ingredients are the same job approached from two sides — one works on how skin feels under your fingers, the other on what shows in the mirror.
Who it is for
Labelled for all skin type.
Worth checking before you buy: contains silicones.
How to use it
- Apply to areas that need sun protection, such as the face and body.
- Reapply every 2-3 hours.
- If you extend the sun stick too far, dust may stick to it or it may break, so it is recommended to only extend it as much as needed.
- Due to its solid formula, excessive pressure may cause the product to separate from the container or break.
