by Kosas
Updated September 14, 2026
Tinted mineral SPF 40 with ceramides and peptides for sensitive, dry skin; heavy cream texture.
What the community says
A tinted mineral SPF 40 loaded with ceramides and peptides, designed for sensitive and dry skin types. It provides a dewy finish but has a thicker cream texture that some find hard to spread or need to powder over. Not ideal for those seeking a lightweight feel.
