Mineral-based broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection that helps shield skin from harmful UV rays and may prevent the darkening of scar tissue. This sheer, non-whitening formula offers even, invisible coverage. - Dimethicone (Silicone)
Acts as a skin protectant with conditioning properties to enhance softness and improve elasticity for a smooth, hydrated feel. - Bromelain
A proteolytic enzyme derived from pineapple stems and fruit, bromelain gently removes dead skin cells by breaking down proteins on the skin's surface. - Papain
Another proteolytic enzyme that rejuvenates and softens the skin by exfoliating dead cells and smoothing the epidermis. - Green Tea Polyphenols
Highly potent antioxidants that neutralize reactive oxygen species (ROS) more effectively than other antioxidants, protecting the skin from environmental stress. - Tocopherol (Vitamin E)

FAQs
Q: What makes the sheer silicone sunscreen SPF 45 different from regular sunscreen?
A: This type of sunscreen tends to feel smoother and lighter on the skin because of the silicone-based texture. Many people like it because it layers well under makeup and doesn’t leave the skin feeling greasy or heavy.
Q: Is the sheer silicone sunscreen SPF 45 good for oily or acne-prone skin?
A: Usually, yes. Silicone-based sunscreens often have a more matte, lightweight finish, which can work well for people who dislike thick or shiny sunscreen textures during the day.
Q: Will this sunscreen leave a white cast?
A: Most sheer formulas are designed to blend in more transparently than traditional physical sunscreens. That said, the final finish can still vary depending on your skin tone and how much product you apply.
Q: Can I wear makeup over this sunscreen?
A: Absolutely. In fact, many people use silicone-based sunscreen as a makeup primer because it helps foundation apply more evenly and can smooth the look of skin texture underneath makeup.
Q: Do I still need to reapply sheer silicone sunscreen SPF 45?
A: Yes. Even lightweight, elegant sunscreens need to be reapplied, especially during prolonged sun exposure. Most people under-apply sunscreen to begin with, so reapplication matters more than they realize.
