Key Ingredients
Zinc Oxide — 100% Mineral UV Protection
The only UV filter in this formula — meaning protection comes entirely from Zinc Oxide with zero chemical sunscreen agents. Zinc Oxide sits on top of the skin and physically blocks UV rays rather than absorbing them, which is why it causes virtually no irritation and is safe for reactive skin, pregnancy, and children. Broad-spectrum coverage: UVA + UVB.
Centella Asiatica 29,400ppm — Calms While it Protects
Centella Asiatica Extract at 29,400ppm (nearly 3% concentration) is unusually high for a sunscreen. It calms redness and inflammation from sun exposure before it becomes visible. Asiaticoside, Madecassic Acid, and Asiatic Acid — the three active centella compounds — are listed individually at the end of the INCI, adding extra soothing depth on top of the full extract.
Niacinamide + Adenosine — Brightens and Firms
Niacinamide brightens skin tone and helps even out any dark spots or post-breakout marks over time — so this sunscreen also prevents new sun damage while addressing existing discolouration. Adenosine supports collagen production and helps smooth fine lines, turning daily sun protection into a multi-tasking treatment step.
Portulaca Oleracea + Houttuynia Cordata + Biosaccharide Gum-1
Portulaca Oleracea (purslane) and Houttuynia Cordata are both anti-inflammatory calming extracts commonly used in Korean sensitive-skin formulas. Biosaccharide Gum-1 is a fermentation-derived prebiotic that soothes and helps maintain the skin's natural microbiome balance — important when using daily sun protection that could otherwise disrupt the skin surface.
Product Details
Full Description
The SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Air Fit Suncream Light is a 100% mineral sunscreen — the only UV filter is Zinc Oxide, with no chemical sunscreen agents. That means it's safe for sensitive skin, acne-prone skin, pregnancy, and anyone who reacts to chemical UV filters like Oxybenzone or Avobenzone. It's one of the few K-beauty mineral sunscreens that actually feels lightweight — it's often compared in texture to a light moisturiser, not a traditional sunscreen.
The formula is built around SKIN1004's signature Madagascar Centella Asiatica Extract at 29,400ppm — nearly 3% — which actively calms any UV-triggered inflammation as the sunscreen protects. Asiaticoside, Madecassic Acid, and Asiatic Acid (the three most active centella compounds) are additionally listed individually in the INCI for extra depth. Niacinamide brightens and helps fade dark spots over time. Adenosine firms and supports collagen. Portulaca Oleracea, Houttuynia Cordata, and Biosaccharide Gum-1 add further soothing and microbiome support.
The finish is soft and slightly matte — works well under makeup as a base, and doesn't pill or crack. Note: because of the Zinc Oxide, there is a slight white cast when first applied, particularly noticeable on deeper skin tones. It fades significantly as it absorbs but doesn't disappear completely. If white cast is a concern, the SKIN1004 Air Fit Suncream Plus (SPF50+) or a chemical sunscreen may be a better fit.
Fragrance-free. No essential oils. Non-comedogenic. Registered with Health Canada (NPN: 80140175). Safe for pregnancy. 50ml.
