Mickey says: "A super lightweight mineral foundation powder with SPF 12. The colors are nice for both cool and warm skin tones but the very dark are left out in the range. The thin minerals create a matte finish which sets it apart from most of its competitors. My only complaint is the quality of the mini kabuki brush that comes with the powder, but this issue is easily fixed."
Evens and brightens skin tone for a naturally healthy complexion, with light-reflecting mica to minimize the look of fine lines. Gentle to skin - no talc, oil or fragrance, and irritant-free. SPF 12 helps shield delicate skin from damaging UV rays. Fluffy Kabuki Brush provides smooth application.

Mickey says: "Most recommended by dermatologists. Chances are you've heard about the highly acclaimed Anthelios SX Sunscreen that was just approved by the FDA. If not from your skin savvy friends, then I'm sure you will on your next trip to the dermatologist. We love the Daily Moisturizing Cream with Mexoryl SX (that's the powerful stuff that defends skin from UVA aging rays) because it seems to keep protecting without needing multiple applications. It is gentle enough for our tender body parts and practically melts tracelessly into skin. This cream isn't as waterproof as we would like (even the one for babies) but you should be reapplying any cream or lotion after activity or swimming anyway."
Daily use moisturizer UVA/UVB protection 24 hr. long-lasting hydration. Fragrance-free PABA-free Light, non-greasy. Suitable for sensitive skin.
