How to use

1. Frequency

Apply every morning as the last step of your routine. Use a generous amount, at least the 2-finger rule for face and neck.

2. Apply the sunscreen

Apply evenly to face, neck, and décolleté after serum or moisturiser. Let it settle for a moment before makeup.

3. Massage gently

Smooth and press in until the white cast is evenly distributed. Don’t miss the hairline, ears, jawline, and neck. There should be no white residue visible.

4. Refresh

Reapply every 2 to 3 hours when you are exposed to daylight. In summer or during outdoor time, reapply more often, especially after sweating. If you wear makeup, reapply by gently pressing a thin layer over the skin.

5. Remove correctly

In the evening, remove thoroughly with a two-step cleanse (oil- and water-based), especially if you are prone to breakouts.

Key ingredients

The natural, science-backed ingredients behind our Shielding Sunscreen - Tamarind & Zinc Oxide:

Tamarind Seed Extract

Tamarind Extract

Tamarind extract is derived from the seeds of the tamarind tree (Tamarindus indica), a tropical tree cultivated in various tropical regions worldwide. Tamarind seed extract is obtained through processing and extracting the seeds of the tamarind fruit. This extract is commonly used in skincare and cosmetic products due to its moisturizing, soothing, and antioxidant properties.

Camellia Sinensis Leaf

Green Tea Leaf

Green Tea Leaf is derived from the Camellia sinensis plant. Renowned for its rich antioxidant content, green tea leaf offers numerous benefits for the skin. It protects against free radical damage, soothes inflammation, and reduces redness. Additionally, it helps prevent signs of aging by promoting skin elasticity and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Green tea leaf extract also improves skin texture and tone, making the complexion smoother and more even.

Tocopherol

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is a skincare powerhouse. Its antioxidant properties shield against environmental damage, while tocotrienols reduce inflammation. Phenolic compounds combat aging signs. Vitamin E's fatty acids - palmitic, linoleic, oleic, and more - provide deep moisturization and protection, leaving skin radiant and nourished.

C13-15 Alkane

Squalane

Squalane is an exceptional moisturizer derived from natural sources such as olive oil, sugarcane, or rice bran oil. Known for its hydrating and smoothing properties, squalane mimics the natural oils of the skin. When applied, it absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy feel, providing deep and lasting hydration. Additionally, it helps restore the skin's barrier, improves elasticity, and reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Regular use can make the skin feel softer, smoother, and more rejuvenated

Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil

Argan Oil

Argan oil is derived from the kernels of the argan tree (Argania spinosa). The oil is extracted through a process of drying, roasting, and pressing the kernels. Rich in essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamins, argan oil is highly valued for its nourishing and rejuvenating properties for the skin and hair. Its unique composition makes it an excellent moisturizer and anti-aging treatment, helping to improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Zinc Oxide

Zinc Oxide is derived from the mineral zincite, which is processed to extract the zinc. This mineral is then oxidized to produce Zinc Oxide. The resulting Zinc Oxide is used in various formulations, including sunscreens and skincare products, due to its protective and beneficial properties.
We use a high-quality Zinc Oxide filter derived from natural sources for our SPF. This natural composition ensures broad-spectrum UV protection, effectively blocking both UVA and UVB rays. It provides excellent skin coverage and protection.

Curcuma Longa Root Powder

Turmeric Root Powder

Curcuma longa root powder is derived from the root of the Curcuma longa plant, commonly known as turmeric. Turmeric is a flowering plant belonging to the ginger family (Zingiberaceae). The roots of Curcuma longa are harvested, cleaned, and then processed to produce the bright yellow-orange powder known as turmeric or, more specifically, Curcuma longa root powder. It is known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Oil

Rosemary Leaf Oil

Rosmarinus officinalis leaf oil, commonly known as rosemary essential oil, is derived from the leaves of the Rosmarinus officinalis plant, which is a woody, perennial herb. The essential oil is extracted through steam distillation of the fresh or dried leaves of the rosemary plant. It has been used for centuries in traditional medicine, aromatherapy, and skincare for its numerous health and skincare benefits, including its antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties.

7 steps for a healthy skin

The M-Beauty skincare routine

01

Cleanse

Cleanse

Daily

01

Cleansing removes sweat, oil, pollution and makeup so they don’t sit on your skin or clog your pores. With a clean surface, everything you apply afterwards can absorb properly and work as intended.
02

Exfoliate

Exfoliate

Weekly

02

Exfoliation lifts away dead skin cells that naturally build up. This helps keep pores clear, smooths rough texture and lets fresh, healthy skin come to the surface.
03

Mask

Mask

Weekly

03

Masks deliver a concentrated treatment that your daily routine can’t always give. Whether you need hydration, balance or clarity, a mask provides an intentional boost.
04

Tone

Tone

Daily

04

Toners rebalance the skin after cleansing, add a first layer of hydration and catch any residue left behind. This prepares the skin so serums and moisturisers can penetrate more effectively.
05

Treat

Treat

Daily

05

Serums focus on specific concerns, like dullness, breakouts or fine lines. They contain high levels of active ingredients that target what your skin needs most.
06

Moisturise

Moisturise

Daily

06

Moisturisers keep water in the skin and strengthen its protective barrier. This prevents dryness, sensitivity and helps maintain a balanced, healthy complexion.
07

Protect

Daily

Sun protection is the final and most essential step. UV rays cause most signs of premature ageing and pigmentation, even on cloudy days, so daily SPF keeps your skin healthy long-term.

FAQ

Find out more about our Shielding Sunscreen - Tamarind & Zinc Oxide

Is the Shielding Sunscreen suitable for daily use?

Yes. The Shielding Sunscreen is meant to be used every day whenever your skin is exposed to daylight. It helps protect the skin from UV rays and reduces the long-term damage caused by sun exposure.

Does the Shielding Sunscreen leave a white cast or feel heavy on the skin?

No. When applied properly, it absorbs well and feels lightweight on the skin. It’s formulated to avoid a white cast and shouldn’t feel greasy or heavy once it has settled.

In which step of my routine should I use the Shielding Sunscreen?

Use the Shielding Sunscreen as the last step of your morning routine, after moisturiser and before makeup. If you’re spending time in direct sunlight, reapply every two hours.

How is the Shielding Sunscreen different from the Radiating Cream?

The Shielding Sunscreen is about protection: It shields the skin from UV radiation and environmental stress. The Radiating Cream focuses on hydration, comfort and supporting skin regeneration. Both care for the skin, but only the Shielding Sunscreen provides sun protection.
