Stop guessing. Tell us what you need — we'll rank every SPF in the catalog for you.
Helps us pick textures that won't fight your skin.
Skin type, filter family, finish, budget — plus climate and special needs if it helps.
We read the full catalog, weigh every formula against your profile, and rank the three best fits.
Ask follow-ups — swap #2 for an alternative, check an ingredient, compare finishes. The AI knows the exact three.
Mineral (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide) sits on top of your skin and physically scatters UV. Chemical filters (avobenzone, Tinosorb, octocrylene, etc.) sit in the top layer and convert UV into heat. Mineral is usually gentler for sensitive/acne-prone skin but can leave a white cast. Modern chemical filters (especially Tinosorb and Uvinul) are more elegant, more photostable, and easier to formulate into invisible textures.
Not exactly. Mineral filters have a longer safety record, but modern chemical filters used in Korea, Japan, and Europe (Tinosorb S/M, Uvinul A/T, Mexoryl) are well-studied and considered very safe by European and Asian regulators. The US FDA is catching up. For pregnancy, our Pregnancy Safety Checker flags the specific filters worth avoiding.
Minimum SPF 30 daily — SPF 50+ if you're outdoors, near reflective surfaces (snow, water), or using actives like retinol or acids. PA+++ or PA++++ indicates strong UVA protection, which is what prevents hyperpigmentation and photoaging.
Our product database tags hero ingredients (niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, ceramides) that sit alongside the UV filters, since they're often why you'd pick one sunscreen over another. Filter classification is done separately by parsing the full INCI list.
The catalog adapts to your active beauty origin (K-Beauty, J-Beauty, French Beauty, etc.). Switch origins from the header if you want to shop a different market.
