How to use

Apply 1-2 finger lengths of product to face and neck each morning.

For best results, smooth onto clean, bare skin, blending well. The tint will vanish on application, leaving skin luminous and hydrated. If your skin is dry, you can apply a water-based moisturizer first.

Before applying makeup, wait 30-60 seconds to allow the product to set for use as a long-lasting primer.

FAQs

Why is there only one tint?

The iron oxides and mica in Brightening Sunscreen Minerals produce a tint that gives it a tan/beige color when it is dispensed, and blends into skin on application, leaving it with a luminous glow. There is no need for color matching.

Does it leave a white cast on melanin rich skin?

Eliminating the white cast effect for everyone has been an important aspect of our years-long product development, and we have had feedback from customers with melanin-rich skin who love the product and do not detect a white cast on application. However, depending on your individual skin tone and type, the amount of product applied, and the products applied beforehand, customers with melanin-rich skin may experience some white cast. To minimize this, do not apply more than the recommended amount and apply to clean, dry skin. If you use an additional moisturizer, we recommend a water-based one as it allows the product to absorb into skin. We are committed to inclusivity and transparency in our communications, and would love you to try Minu for yourself. If for any reason you are not satisfied, please contact us.

Why SPF 30?

The American Academy of Dermatology recommends using a broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 for daily facial use. An SPF of 30 blocks 97% of the sun's UVB rays with an SPF of 50 blocking 98%. Unlike most sunscreens, our formula also achieves the highest ratings for broad-spectrum protection across the U.S., Europe and Asia (with a PA++++ rating). We have combined the recommended SPF with product durability, safety and wearability to create a sunscreen that provides superior protection.

Is the product safe for sensitive and/or acne-prone skin?

Yes, our dermatologist-developed product is safe for sensitive skin and won't cause breakouts. It is non-comedogenic (does not clog pores), hypoallergenic, oil-free, fragrance free, anti-redness and non-irritating (won't sting eyes).

Are you vegan and cruelty free?

Yes, we are vegan & cruelty-free. We do not test any of our products on animals.

Do you ship internationally?

We are currently only able to ship to postal addresses in the United States.

Why is broad spectrum protection important?

Minu Brightening Sunscreen Minerals was designed to provide broad-spectrum UVA/UVB. There are multiple wavelengths of ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. UV rays in the UVB spectrum are shorter and primarily contribute to sunburn and DNA damage, which leads to skin cancer. Longer-wavelength UVA radiation contributes to photoaging, such as brown spots, wrinkling, and sallowing of the skin. Broad-spectrum is a U.S. labeling system issued by the FDA that indicates protection against both UVB and UVA radiation.

What is PA++++?

The broad-spectrum designation in the United States is binary—a sunscreen either is or isn't broad spectrum. However, the PA+ system, which is mostly used in Asia, is more nuanced. It indicates the degree of UVA protection because the number of plus signs represents how robustly a sunscreen protects against UVA rays and goes from + (signifying some UVA protection) to ++++ (signifying extremely high UVA protection). In addition, in the EU, broad-spectrum protection is determined by the ratio of UVA to UVB protection, with a minimum UVA/SPF ratio of 1/3. Minu's Brightening Sunscreen Minerals achieves the highest standards of global broad-spectrum protection ratings in the U.S., Europe, and Asia, protecting against UVA, UVB, infrared, pollution, and blue light, with a PA++++ rating and meeting the UVA/SPF ratio of 1/3.

Why SPF 30?

How blue light and infrared light protection is important

Minu Brightening Sunscreen Minerals was designed to provide blue light and infrared protection. That’s because both blue light and infrared radiation can contribute to oxidative damage of the skin, through accumulation of free radicals. This can lead to signs of skin aging like hyperpigmentation and a dull complexion.

How does the product brighten skin?

Our formula has a beautiful but subtle brightening effect that gives a lit-from-within glow. At the same time, it's not heavy enough to mask the natural variation and uniqueness of one's complexion. It's an elegant and quite unique finish. How we achieved this effect is due to our light-diffusing technology. It is made up of specifically selected minerals (iron oxide, ethically sourced mica) whose unique shape reflects, refracts, and evenly diffuses light, helping to even skin tone, blur wrinkles, and reduce the appearance of fine lines, age spots, and other skin imperfections when applied to the skin.

Dermatologist explains what makes Minu different.

Mineral sunscreens have long struggled with a couple of aspects that have been troublesome to consumers. They may feel thicker or goopier on the skin, which can make application cumbersome. The zinc oxide component can leave a white cast that is noticeable on any skin type but particularly problematic with darker skin tones.

With decades of experience, notably creating and bringing to market the core suncare technologies at Neutrogena, our team was uniquely positioned to reinvent sunscreen for the modern discerning consumer.

We spent years developing Minu's proprietary technology behind this product, called Mineral SuperblendTM. Guided by deep scientific rigor, we meticulously select only the most efficacious and skin-loving minerals from around the world.

Our formula is a delicate fusion of the finest few minerals with plant extracts, vitamins, and peptides, acting as a superfood to protect, illuminate, and recharge:

What is the difference between chemical and physical sunscreens?

The primary difference between these sunscreens is the active ingredients they contain. If the active ingredient in your sunscreen is titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, or both, you have a physical sunscreen. Dermatologists recommend physical sunscreens, also called mineral sunscreens, for people with sensitive skin.

If your sunscreen doesn’t contain titanium dioxide or zinc oxide, you have a chemical sunscreen. Some sunscreens are called hybrids because they contain one or more active ingredients found in chemical and physical sunscreens. To see what active ingredients your sunscreen has, look at the section on the container labeled “Active Ingredients.”

Amazing.

Tess

IDK what's in this that is so magical (I'm sure I'd know if I read the website) but it's handsdown the best thing for my skin. I am pretty lucky when it comes to my skin type - no major issues to conceal - but I've learned after trying a bunch of different combos to find a perfect "minimal make up look" and no matter what I come back to this product. This product + a highlighter + a smidge of concealer under my eyes + blush is all I need. Even when I just wear this it makes my skin look noticiably more put together than it did prior to application. It evens out my skin tone just looks - chef's kiss.

Can’t get over how great this is

B

Wow!! I have tried SO many sunscreens. So many. This one is incredible. Lightweight and dries down to a beautiful finish. Works well on my medium skin. I had to write a review to share with others. If you are thinking about this sunscreen - I strongly suggest you try it. I think you’ll love it too.

New favorite sunscreen

Angela

As someone who's always on the lookout for skincare products that seamlessly integrate into my makeup routine, I couldn't be more thrilled with Minu. It has a silky smooth application and a luxurious feel on my skin. I love that it wears beautifully both on its own (for an no makeup look) and flawlessly under makeup - it doesnt pile! It’s a super lightweight formula without leaving any greasy residue which is super important to me. Unlike other mineral sunscreens that can leave a dreaded white cast, this one seamlessly blends into my skin tone, leaving behind a natural, radiant finish

Fantastic MINU

This is it! MINU, a product I have been looking for long time. I use it everyday now as my foundation, my moisturizer and sunscreen. It is all in one. I love it. It gives my skin a smooth, clean, healthy, and glowing sensation. Will definitely go back for more.

All-in-One Daily Must Have!

Michelle

I'm always on the lookout for a daily sunscreen and I've finally found it! I'm a low maintenance, busy Mom on-the-go and I LOVE that this is not only a sunscreen but moisturizer and primer too. It's super lightweight and gives my face a polished and effortless glow. I've already gifted one to my sister and Mom!
