CB: CAN PHYSICAL
SUNSCREEN BE USED
ON ALL SKIN TYPES?
DI: Medik8 Physical Sunscreen is
ideal for all skin types, including
sensitive skins, who struggle to use
chemical sunscreens that penetrate
into the skin. Our physical formulas
sit on top of the complexion, forming
a nourishing, protective barrier over
skin from external, environmental
stressors. Physical Sunscreen also helps
to minimise hyperpigmentation, as it
successfully blocks UV light (SPF 50+).
This sunscreen is perfect for preventing
the visible signs of premature ageing.
Physical Sunscreen is non-sticky and
non-greasy on the skin. The formula
is lightweight, breathable and blends
seamlessly, leaving a semi-matte finish on
the skin. CBM

KEY INGREDIENTS
Non-nano mineral filter zinc oxide reflects
and absorbs UV rays to protect the skin
from sun damage. Marrubium vulgare
extract provides superior anti-pollution
defence to limit the damage caused by
environmental pollutants, while carnosine
helps inhibit the glycation reaction and
keep skin protected from glycationderived
skin ageing.
ZINC OXIDE
A non-nano, mineral sunscreen filter with
broad spectrum protection against UVA
and UVB rays.
MARRUBIUM VULGARE
EXTRACT
A powerful antioxidant that provides
essential protection to shield delicate
skin from pollution-induced damage.
CARNOSINE
A protective peptide that is naturally
produced in the body. It blocks skindamaging
sugars from binding to
collagen in the skin (glycation).
