    Q&A

    Q&A

    Is The Rich Cream suitable for sensitive skin?
    Yes, The Rich Cream is formulated for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
    How do I use The Rich Cream in my skincare routine?
    Apply The Rich Cream to cleansed, toned, dry skin. For optimal results, TFC8 should be the first product to contact the skin. If using products from other brands underneath, allow them to fully absorb before applying The Rich Cream.
    How long does The Rich Cream 1.7 fl oz bottle last?
    Usage varies based on frequency and amount applied. When used as directed—two pumps twice daily—the bottle should last approximately six weeks.
    What benefits does TFC8 provide skin exposed to UV rays?
    TFC8 helps neutralize free radicals caused by UV exposure, soothes redness and irritation, supports skin renewal, and strengthens the skin's resilience against environmental aggressors.
    Can The Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 be used daily, year-round?
    Yes. The Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 is designed for daily use year-round and performs well in a variety of climates, including hot, humid, cold, and dry conditions.
    How much and how often should I apply The Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50?
    Apply 2–3 pumps to the face 15 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply at least every two hours and immediately after swimming, sweating, or towel drying, as the formula is not water-resistant.
    Is The Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 environmentally friendly and safe for sensitive skin?
    Yes. The Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. It is fragrance-free, formulated to minimize irritation, contains no nano-classified UV filters, and is reef-safe.
    Can The Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 replace a moisturizer?
    No. It is recommended to apply a moisturizer before sunscreen and, for targeted skincare benefits, layer a serum before moisturizer and SPF.
    Is The Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 suitable for men?
    Yes. This gender-neutral, fragrance-free formula has a lightweight, non-greasy finish and helps soothe skin irritation and redness associated with shaving.
