Anua Airy Sun Cream is a gentle mineral (physical) Korean sunscreen with SPF50+ PA++++ that protects skin while keeping it calm, soft and fresh. Powered by zinc oxide and soothing botanicals like Centella, Houttuynia and Tea Tree, it creates a breathable UV shield without heaviness or white cast.  Perfect for daily K-beauty routines and sensitive skin in sunny climates like Cyprus.

Benefits:

• High mineral UV protection: SPF50+ PA++++ with zinc oxide to help defend against UVA & UVB rays.
• Calms sensitive, irritated skin: Centella Asiatica, Houttuynia Cordata, Tea Tree and Artemisia Capillaris help soothe redness and discomfort from heat and external stressors.
• Skin-like airy finish: Watery cream texture spreads easily, feels weightless and doesn’t leave a chalky white cast.
• Soft, non-greasy feel: Powder dispersion technology and silky silicones help control excess shine for a smooth, comfortable finish under makeup.
• Barrier-supporting mineral filter: Physical sunscreen sits on top of the skin, reflecting UV rays and helping to support a gentle protective layer.
• Gentle for daily use: Free from 20 commonly flagged substances, allergens and irritants; suitable for sensitive skin.

Skin type: All skin types, especially sensitive, combination and oily-to-combination skin that reacts easily to harsh sunscreens.

Skin concerns: Redness, sensitivity, weakened barrier, congestion from heavy sunscreens, need for everyday Korean sunscreen protection.

How to Use:

1. As the last step of your morning routine, after moisturizer, apply generously to face (and neck).
2. Spread evenly from the centre of the face outwards, taking care around eyes and hairline.
3. Allow to set for a few minutes before applying makeup.
4. Reapply every 2–3 hours when exposed to strong sun, sweating or after towel-drying.

Tip: For full protection, use a generous amount (don’t “save” product) — most adults need roughly 1/2 teaspoon for face and neck.

FAQ:

Q: Is Anua Airy Sun Cream suitable for sensitive skin?
A: Yes. This physical Korean sunscreen is formulated with soothing Centella, Houttuynia, Tea Tree and Artemisia, and is free from 20 common irritants, making it well-suited to sensitive and easily irritated skin.

Q: Does it leave a white cast?
A: It’s designed with powder dispersion technology and a watery cream texture to minimise white cast. On most skin tones it blends in to a soft, natural finish without a heavy grey/white film.

A: The airy texture, oil-control powder system and calming botanicals make it a good option for combination and oily skin types who want mineral filters without greasiness.

Q: Is this water-resistant?
A: It’s primarily a daily Korean sunscreen for city and everyday use. For extended water exposure or intense outdoor sports, pair it with more frequent reapplication or a specifically labelled water-resistant sunscreen.
