No. Iron oxide pigments eliminate the white cast common in mineral sunscreens. The formula blends invisibly into medium to deep skin tones in shades Cafe au Lait and Mocha. Apply a small amount first to confirm your shade match.
Yes. The formula is non-comedogenic (won't clog pores), fragrance-free, and free from parabens, phthalates, and sulfates. Dr. Anne Beal developed AbsoluteJOI specifically for the high rates of skin sensitivity reported by women of color — over 60% report sensitive skin.
Mineral sunscreens use physical UV filters (zinc oxide) that sit on the skin and deflect UV rays. Chemical sunscreens absorb UV rays and convert them to heat. Mineral formulas are gentler for sensitive skin and begin working immediately — no 20-minute wait.

I’m blown away at how soft my skin feels and it’s only been a week. I love the packaging and the extra touch of adding an instruction card that I can read without breaking out a magnifying glass. It even lets me know the order to use the products. Dr.Anne thought of everything. Pure quality.
I’ve been using this peptide lifting serum for a few weeks now and it feels like a little luxury in a bottle. It goes on so smooth, absorbs right away, and gives my skin this light “lifted” feeling that I can actually see. My face looks more awake and firm — and the glow? Unreal.
