100% Mineral Sun Protection for Sensitive Skin
CeraVe Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 Body Lotion is a physical sunscreen that works by creating a barrier on the skin's surface. Unlike chemical sunscreens that absorb UV rays, this formula uses Titanium Dioxide (6%) and Zinc Oxide (5%) to reflect UVA and UVB rays away from your skin.
Developed with dermatologists, this lotion is particularly suited for Nigerians with sensitive skin who may react to chemical filters. It is oil-free and fragrance-free, making it a gentle option for daily sun protection.
Enriched with Essential Ceramides
True to the CeraVe brand, this sunscreen is formulated with three essential ceramides (1, 3, 6-II) that help restore and maintain the skin’s natural protective barrier. It also contains Hyaluronic Acid to help retain moisture and Niacinamide to soothe the skin. These ingredients ensure that your skin stays hydrated while being protected from the sun's harsh rays.
Important Application Tips
Because this is a 100% mineral sunscreen, it can leave a visible white cast, especially on medium to dark skin tones. To minimize this, apply the lotion in small amounts and blend thoroughly into the skin. It is important to note that this specific formula is not water-resistant; you should reapply it immediately after swimming or sweating for continued protection.
If you have questions about which sunscreen is right for your skin type, you can contact a GoMed pharmacist for expert advice.
