A credible lightweight mineral face sunscreen with a strong protective and soothing-leaning formula, but not a clean fit for fragrance-sensitive users because of the added essential oils.
Scored for skin — based on what its ingredients contribute.
What it may help with
Whether it supports the skin barrier — restoring lipids, reducing water loss, aiding barrier repair, or strengthening the skin’s protective function.
From Niacinamide, Centella Asiatica Extract, Madecassoside, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil Unsaponifiables
Whether it provides direct protection against UV radiation.
From Zinc Oxide, Titanium Dioxide
Whether the ingredient helps increase the skin’s water content — humectants that attract water, ingredients that reduce water loss, or ones that make skin feel less dry.
From Sodium Hyaluronate, Sunflower Oil, Echium Plantagineum Seed Oil, Niacinamide
Whether it can calm the skin — linked to less redness, irritation, discomfort, or visible reactivity.
From Centella Asiatica Extract, Niacinamide, Madecassoside, Cardiospermum Halicacabum Flower/Leaf/Vine Extract
Whether it can help uneven tone, dark spots, melasma-like discoloration, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation — including brightening and tyrosinase-inhibiting ingredients.
Things to watch
Whether it can make skin more sensitive to sunlight, raising the risk of sunburn or UV-related irritation. Relevant for some exfoliating acids, retinoids, and certain plant-derived ingredients.
From Bergamot Oil
Risk of allergic contact dermatitis or immune-based reactions. Fragrance allergens, preservatives, botanicals, and some dyes may score here.
From Pelargonium Graveolens Flower Oil, Rosa Damascena Flower Oil, Bergamot Oil, Ethylhexylglycerin
Risk of short-term irritation — stinging, burning, dryness, redness, or discomfort. Common for strong actives, acids, retinoids, fragrances, and harsh surfactants.
From Pelargonium Graveolens Flower Oil, Rosa Damascena Flower Oil, Bergamot Oil, Ethylhexylglycerin
Whether it may sting or irritate around the eyes. Relevant for sunscreens, fragrances, acids, surfactants, and volatile ingredients.
Whether it has meaningful potential to be absorbed into the body at levels that may matter biologically. Most cosmetic ingredients score low unless there is known concern or high exposure.

A face sunscreen from SKIN1004 that uses mineral UV filters, centella extract, niacinamide, and a lightweight silicone base. The formula looks suited to everyday sun protection and may suit sensitive or redness-prone skin, but it also includes several fragrant oils that make it less ideal for fragrance-avoidant users. The product was verified from a named retailer ingredient listing and barcode match.
Summarised from public reviews across the web — subjective experience, not our formula assessment.
Real user feedback commonly describes a lightweight, non-greasy feel with low white cast, while some users report fragrance sensitivity or irritation concerns.
