๐Ÿ”ฌ How It Actually Works

A highly unique UV filter that acts as a hybrid. It exists as micro-fine organic particles that both absorb UV rays (like a chemical filter) AND reflect/scatter them (like a mineral filter).

๐Ÿ’– Why your skin loves it

Provides robust broad-spectrum protection and stabilizes formulations.

๐Ÿ’ก Pro Tip

Can leave a slight white cast due to its particulate nature.

โš–๏ธ Myth vs. Fact

The Myth

It is a micro-plastic.

The Science

It is an organic particulate, not a plastic polymer.
