For skin that finds most sunscreens irritating, this is the one. The Dr. G Mild Up Sun is a mineral-first, skin-barrier focused SPF50+ PA++++ sunscreen built around the needs of sensitive, reactive, and acne-prone skin — a formula where gentleness is as important as protection.

The UV filter system is primarily mineral: Zinc Oxide provides broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection with exceptional tolerability — ideal for skin that reacts to chemical filters. Butyloctyl Salicylate acts as a booster to improve texture and reduce whitening without compromising the gentleness of the formula. The skin-supporting complex is impressive: Centella Asiatica Extract, Houttuynia Cordata Extract, Ectoin (a stress-protector amino acid), Caesalpinia Spinosa Fruit Extract, Kappaphycus Alvarezii Extract (red algae), Buddleja Officinalis Flower Extract, Pinus Pinaster Bark Extract (maritime pine antioxidant), and Lactobacillus Ferment together deliver a multi-mechanism soothing and barrier repair system. Sodium Hyaluronate hydrates. Tocopherol (Vitamin E) adds antioxidant protection. The silicone-based vehicle (Cyclohexasiloxane, Caprylyl Methicone) gives the formula its characteristically silky, fast-absorbing finish — common in mineral sunscreens designed to feel weightless on sensitive skin.

No white cast. No fragrance. Reef safe.
