Image Skincare - DAILY PREVENTION - Pure Mineral Moisturizer SPF 30 Tinted

The DAILY PREVENTION - Pure Mineral Moisturizer SPF 30 Tinted from Image Skincare is a tinted day cream with mineral sun protection. It adds a light, complexion-evening tint. SPF stands for sun protection factor; the number shows how much longer your skin stays protected against sunburn compared with no cream at all. It suits dry to normal skin, particularly if you'd rather skip a separate foundation. This Image day cream SPF 30 combines 6% Zinc Oxide with 4.7% Titanium Dioxide, two mineral filters that protect the skin. The cream belongs to DAILY PREVENTION, the sun protection line from Image Skincare.

Who is the Pure Mineral Moisturizer SPF 30 Tinted for?

The Pure Mineral Moisturizer SPF 30 Tinted suits dry to normal skin. It also suits you if you want to save time in the morning by combining protection with a more even skin tone. The light tint covers redness and minor unevenness.

Prefer no colour and maximum hydration instead? The Pure Mineral Hydrating Moisturizer SPF 30 from the same line contains Hyaluronic Acid and Squalane, two ingredients this tinted cream doesn't have. If your skin is oily or blemish-prone, the Sheer Matte Moisturizer SPF 30 suits you better with its matte finish.

How do you use the Pure Mineral Moisturizer SPF 30 Tinted?

Apply the Pure Mineral Moisturizer SPF 30 Tinted as the last step of your morning routine, on your face and neck. A thin, even layer is enough. Reapply every two hours, or more often if you like. Over make-up during the day, you can top up with an SPF powder or SPF spray, including on cloudy days.

Active ingredients

Underneath the tint, this cream contains the following active ingredients.

Zinc Oxide (6%) and Titanium Dioxide (4.7%). These are two mineral filters: sun filters that stay on the skin as particles instead of absorbing into it. They absorb most of the UV radiation and scatter the rest.

Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (vitamin C). A stable, oil-soluble form of vitamin C. Vitamin C is an antioxidant, an ingredient that neutralises free radicals, particles that form partly from UV radiation and pollution.

Ectoin. A moisture-binding ingredient that draws moisture into the skin and holds it there, so skin dries out less quickly and feels more supple.

Micro-algae (Haematococcus pluvialis) and Acetyl Zingerone. Two antioxidants that work alongside vitamin C in this cream. Antioxidants neutralise free radicals, particles that form partly from UV radiation and pollution.

Glycerin. A moisture-binding ingredient that draws water into the upper skin layers and holds it there, so skin feels less tight.

Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499). Colourants that give the cream its light tint and add to its complexion-evening effect.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the tinted and the untinted Image day cream SPF 30?

The Pure Mineral Moisturizer SPF 30 Tinted combines 6% Zinc Oxide with 4.7% Titanium Dioxide and adds a light tint from iron oxides. The Pure Mineral Hydrating Moisturizer SPF 30 uses only 18.1% Zinc Oxide as its filter, has no tint, and does contain Hyaluronic Acid and Squalane. Want an even skin tone without a separate foundation? The tinted version suits you better.

Is the Image day cream SPF 30 Tinted suitable for every skin tone?

The Pure Mineral Moisturizer SPF 30 Tinted comes in a single shade, which gives a light, complexion-evening glow. For a closer colour match, apply your own foundation or concealer over this cream.

Does this day cream also protect against blue light from screens?

Yes, the Pure Mineral Moisturizer SPF 30 Tinted also protects against the effects of blue light from screens.

How long does sun protection stay effective after opening?

Check the packaging for the PAO, the Period After Opening. This icon shows how many months the Pure Mineral Moisturizer SPF 30 Tinted keeps working after you open it. After that period, protection decreases and we recommend you stop using it.

Is there a smaller size?

The Pure Mineral Moisturizer SPF 30 Tinted is also available in a smaller size. Besides the 77 ml tube, Olivida sells a compact Pure Mineral Tinted Moisturizer SPF 30 Travel Size of 28 grams.
