When I first started formulating skincare for sensitive skin, one problem came up again and again.
People loved using mineral zinc sunscreen because it was gentle on reactive, acne-prone and rosacea-prone skin… but they hated the white cast.
Many stopped wearing sunscreen altogether because they didn’t like how it looked.
So instead of covering it with layers of foundation, I wanted to create something much simpler.
A lightweight mineral colour corrector that works with your sunscreen, not against it.
I’m incredibly proud that this idea has now been recognised with a Gold Award in the Makeup category at the Green Parent Natural Beauty Awards 2026.
✨ How to use (no foundation needed… or optional)
Our Mineral Colour Correctors can be used in a few different ways depending on how much coverage you like.
They can be used in place of foundation for a light, natural finish — perfect for everyday wear when you just want to reduce redness and even out skin tone.
Or, if you prefer more coverage, they can be mixed into your foundation to add warmth, balance tone and soften the look of mineral sunscreen underneath.
Personally, I sometimes mix Matcha (green) with Honey Latte when I want a little more coverage for an event — it helps neutralise redness while still keeping the skin looking natural and breathable.
Made with sensitive skin in mind
Every shade has been developed with reactive skin in mind.
They’re especially suitable for people with:
- Rosacea
- Acne-prone skin
- Sensitive skin
- Post-treatment skin
- Anyone who prefers mineral sunscreen but struggles with its appearance
Because when your skin is already irritated, the last thing you want is thick makeup sitting on top.
Finding your perfect shade
Each shade has a purpose.
💚 Matcha (Green) – Neutralises redness and flushing.
🤍 Latte – Softly reduces white cast on fair skin.
☀️ Honey Latte – Adds warmth for light to medium complexions.
🤎 Cappuccino – Designed for medium skin tones.
🤎 Mocha – Perfect for medium-deep complexions.
🖤 Espresso – Balances white cast beautifully on deeper skin tones.
Many customers even mix shades together to create their perfect match.
Why this award means so much
The Green Parent Natural Beauty Awards are independently judged by beauty experts, testers and readers over several weeks, assessing products for effectiveness, sustainability and value before awards are given.
Receiving Gold for our Mineral Colour Correctors means so much because these weren’t created to follow a trend.
They were created to solve a real problem faced by people with sensitive skin every day.
Daily sunscreen should be effortless
We believe everyone deserves to wear sunscreen comfortably.
If a simple sprinkle of mineral pigment helps someone wear their zinc sunscreen every day instead of leaving it in the cupboard, then we’ve achieved exactly what we set out to do.
Because protecting sensitive skin shouldn’t mean compromising on confidence.
Say goodbye to white cast and hello to confident, natural-looking skin. 👇🏼
