Sunscreen

Generally yes given the gentle, fragrance-free formula — but recommend a patch test and consulting a dermatologist for personal concerns.

Mineral (zinc oxide/titanium dioxide) sits on skin and reflects UV; chemical filters absorb UV and convert it to heat. Shalberg uses a hybrid/next-gen chemical filter (Tinosorb S) for better cosmetic finish with high protection.

Yes — UVA rays penetrate windows and clouds, causing premature aging and pigmentation even without visible sun.

SPF 50 blocks ~98% of UVB rays; anything higher offers marginal additional protection. Reapplication matters more than SPF number.

Cica (Centella Asiatica) soothes and repairs the skin barrier; Allantoin calms irritation and hydrates — counteracting sun-induced inflammation.

Yes, it absorbs quickly and creates a smooth base for makeup application.

No — chemical/hybrid filters like Tinosorb S blend invisibly into skin, unlike pure mineral (zinc oxide) sunscreens.

Every 3–4 hours, and immediately after sweating, swimming, or wiping your face.

Two finger-length amount (~1.25g) for face and neck — the standard dermatologist-recommended quantity for stated SPF efficacy.

Benzophenone-3 (oxybenzone) is a UV filter linked to skin sensitization and coral reef harm. Excluding it makes the formula gentler and more eco-conscious
