Dr.Althea Green Tea Calming Sunscreen SPF 50 is a lightweight, vegan Korean sunscreen designed to shield skin from UVA/UVB rays while soothing sensitivity and locking in hydration.

Made with Camellia Sinensis leaf water, Centella asiatica and heartleaf extracts, this SPF 50 broad-spectrum sunscreen layers as a thin, non-greasy shield that supports daily skin comfort. The formula includes ectoin and panthenol to reinforce the skin barrier and supply long-lasting moisture. Finished to a watery, natural glow without a white cast, it’s FDA OTC-registered and safety tested for sensitive skin types.

How does this sunscreen protect skin during everyday activities?

This product offers SPF 50 broad-spectrum protection that helps reduce exposure to both UVA and UVB radiation during normal outdoor and indoor light exposure. Its ultra-adhering UV shield is engineered to stay on the skin while preserving hydration and comfort throughout the day.

• SPF 50 broad-spectrum filters UVA and UVB rays
• Light, ultra-adhering texture resists quick breakdown from sweat and light movement
• Supports daily protection without heavy layering or sticky residue

Will it calm irritated or sensitive skin?

The formula centers on calming botanicals: green tea (Camellia Sinensis) leaf water with Centella asiatica and heartleaf extract. Together these ingredients help reduce the feeling of irritation while ectoin and panthenol hydrate and reinforce the skin’s natural barrier.

• Camellia Sinensis leaf water soothes and defends against environmental stressors
• Centella and heartleaf help visibly calm redness-prone skin
• Ectoin and panthenol lock in moisture to prevent dryness and barrier breakdown

How does the texture and finish perform under makeup or alone?

The sunscreen is formulated with a lightweight, watery finish that absorbs quickly and avoids a white cast, making it suitable as a base under makeup or worn solo. It leaves a subtle healthy glow rather than a greasy sheen, helping foundation or tinted products apply smoothly.

• Fast-absorbing, non-greasy formula for layering with cosmetics
• No visible white cast for most skin tones
• Provides a hydrating base that reduces dry patches under makeup

Is this product suitable for vegans and sensitive-skin routines?

Yes. The sunscreen is a vegan, low-irritating formulation that went through safety testing geared toward sensitive skin. Dr.Althea follows minimalist, nature-inspired approaches to reduce potential irritants while maintaining protective and hydrating performance.

• Vegan formulation without animal-derived ingredients
• Safety testing completed for sensitive skin compatibility
