Why We Love It at Le Petit Spa
We reach for this sunscreen with clients who prefer mineral-only formulas or have sensitivities to chemical filters. The matte, sheer finish makes it a pleasure to wear daily, and it layers beautifully under makeup without pilling — an easy way to make sun protection a genuine daily habit.

1. Apply liberally to face, neck, and décolletage 15 minutes before sun exposure.
2. Reapply every two hours, and immediately after swimming, sweating, or towel drying.

FAQ
Is this a mineral or chemical sunscreen? It's 100% mineral, using zinc oxide and titanium dioxide with no chemical filters.
Will it leave a white cast? No — it's formulated for a sheer, non-whitening finish.
Is it good for sensitive skin? Yes, mineral formulas like this are often better tolerated by reactive or sensitive skin.
Can I wear it under makeup? Yes, its matte finish works well as a makeup base.
How often should I reapply? Every two hours, or immediately after swimming, sweating, or towel drying.
Is it TSA-approved? Yes, it's travel-friendly.
After a Peel or Treatment
Can I use Sheer Physical UV Defense SPF 50 after a peel or treatment?
It has no retinoids, exfoliating acids or pure vitamin C, so it is generally a gentle choice once your esthetician says you can go back to your routine. Apply it only to calm, unbroken skin. Daily sun protection matters most in the days after a peel, and a mineral formula like this is a gentle option. Every treatment is different, so always follow the aftercare instructions from your esthetician, patch test first, and stop using it if irritation lasts.
