Protect SPF
Did you know that we each have our own burn time? Let’s say when you go in the sun with no protection you burn in 5 minutes, this means when you apply SPF 30 (thirty times your 5-minute burn time) your total burn time is 150 minutes or 2.5 hours a day. After this time, no amount of SPF can protect you, no matter how many times you re-apply. Think of it like cooking a chicken in the oven, when it’s cooked it’s cooked! If you take it out of the oven to cool and then put it back in, it will burn, just like your skin when your burn time is up. Perfect for all skins, ages and Fitzpatrick’s, Mineral Pro is a daily skin health non-negotiable. A physical sunblock, creating a protective skin barrier while deflecting UVA and UVB rays, formulated with 21.5% Zinc Oxide, Kakadu Plum Extract, ideal as a primer under foundation and available in regular and tinted options, Mineral Pro is an O top seller and long-term fan favourite! Oh, and it feels and smells AMAZING!

FAQ
The main difference between a mineral sunscreen (or physical) and chemical sunscreen is the way they shield the skin from harmful effects of the sun’s UV rays. Mineral sunscreens such as Mineral Pro SPF contain Zinc Oxide which are small particles that sit on the skin’s surface to physical prevent UV rays from absorbing into the skin. In contrast, chemical sunscreens allow the penetration of UV light through the skin. The active ingredients in the sunscreen then initiate a chemical process wherein UV light is transformed into heat, subsequently dissipating from the skin.
The sun’s harmful rays are one of the major causes of premature skin aging, causing tissue and collagen breakdown, pigmentation, loss of elasticity, uneven skin tone and lines and wrinkles as a not-so-scary start. Our mineral sunscreens contains a high Zinc Oxide base, Vitamin E and Kakadu Plum Extract making it the best sunscreen for face and body with enhanced skin treatment benefits to hydrate, soothe and protect the skin. To be skin smart is to be sun smart, that’s why every O COSMEDICS routine features Mineral Pro SPF 30 and/or 50 – no exceptions!
Yes, we recommend you incorporate spf sunscreen for face and body as part of your daily morning routine, even if you plan to be indoors. UV rays can pass through glass windows, exposing the skin to direct sunlight and natural light exposure.
Apply the mineral sunscreen liberally at least 20 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply every 2 hours and always after swimming, sweating and towel drying. Mineral Pro SPF can be used as a facial sunscreen or for body. Always read the label and follow the directions for use. Sunscreen is only one form of sun protection. Avoid prolonged sun exposure and reapply as directed.
Our mineral sunscreen should be used as a daily essential in your morning skincare routine. After cleansing the skin, apply your choice of O Corrector Serums and Hydrator, and finish with Mineral Pro SPF as the last step.
Due to the added Zinc Oxide’s anti-inflammatory properties, the facial sunscreen can also be used as overnight spot treatment to heal and reduce redness.
While both provide broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection, are perfect for all skins and smell delicious, SPF 30 is a lightweight, water-based cream while SPF 50 is oil-based with a medium weight, and more of a BB cream style!
30 is great for everyday wear, perfect for those with normal to oily skins and great as a makeup primer. 50 is the ultimate choice if you want an all-in-one solution with a dewy finish for a normal to dry/dehydrated skin.
Mineral Pro SPF Tinted Sunscreen is a great option to achieve a sun-kissed glow without the sun damage. It contains a natural, self-adjusting tint for light, beautiful coverage and broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection.
Hot Tip: Mineral Pro SPF Tinted Sunscreen makes for an awesome at-home or exercise light coverage foundation or the perfect glowy, bronzing primer!
Absolutely! Our range of facial sunscreens are perfect for all skin types.
Sun exposure is one of the top triggers for skin conditions such as rosacea, dermatitis and hyperpigmentation, hence daily sun protection is especially important for those with such skin concerns.
Mineral sunscreens are better suited as chemical sunscreens contain certain chemical absorbers known to irritate skin and cause flare-ups. Our Mineral Pro SPF range contains Kakadu Plum extract to reduce skin inflammatory response and Tocopherol Complex (variations of Vitamin E) to support skin barrier repair while adding moisture and conditioning the skin.
