Sun Serum Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 with 8-Hour Oil Control

Sunscreen · 30 ingredients

A mineral SPF 50 sunscreen serum formulated to protect and balance skin throughout the day. Seven molecular weights of hyaluronic acid draw hydration deep into the skin to plump and replenish, while naturally derived plant sugars reinforce the moisture barrier. Rhodiola root and echinacea extracts help absorb excess oil and minimize the appearance of pores, making it well suited for those looking to control shine without sacrificing hydration.
