π¬ Ingredient Breakdown
βοΈ Titanium Dioxide 8% Proven
The primary physical UV filter in TIZO3. Reflects and scatters UVA II and UVB rays before they penetrate the skin, providing immediate, photo-stable protection from the moment of application.
- FDA-approved: Recognized as a Category I (Generally Recognized as Safe and Effective) sunscreen filter.
- Mechanism: Inorganic mineral particles that scatter UV radiation rather than absorbing it chemically.
- Skin compatibility: Essentially zero irritation potential β suitable for the most sensitive eyes and skin.
π‘οΈ Zinc Oxide 3.8% Proven
The second mineral filter, responsible for completing UVA1 (long-wave) protection β the rays most associated with skin aging, hyperpigmentation, and melasma. Also calming and slightly anti-inflammatory.
- Broadest spectrum: Zinc Oxide is the only single ingredient that protects across the entire UVAβUVB range.
- Anti-irritant: Used in diaper creams for centuries; soothes redness and helps skin heal.
- PA+++ rating: Combined with Titanium Dioxide, delivers strong UVA protection (PA+++ = high).
π¨ Iron Oxides (CI 77491) Tint Proven
The universal sheer tint that gives TIZO3 its signature finish. More than cosmetic β iron oxides are scientifically proven to protect against visible light and HEV blue light, which mineral filters alone cannot block.
- Visible light protection: A 2020 dermatology study showed iron oxides significantly reduce visible-light-induced pigmentation in melasma patients.
- Color correction: Neutralizes redness and unifies skin tone for a "filter" effect.
- Universal blend: The single shade works across most light to medium skin tones.
π Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate Vit C Promising
A stable, oil-soluble derivative of Vitamin C. More photostable than L-ascorbic acid, it works synergistically with sunscreen filters to neutralize free radicals generated by any UV that does penetrate.
- Stability: Far more stable than pure ascorbic acid in cosmetic formulations.
- Penetration: Lipid-soluble form is claimed to penetrate skin better than water-soluble Vitamin C.
- Synergy: Antioxidants paired with SPF provide superior photoprotection vs. SPF alone.
πΏ Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E) Antioxidant Proven
A stable form of Vitamin E that protects skin lipids from oxidative damage and works synergistically with Vitamin C to regenerate its antioxidant activity.
- Free radical scavenger: Neutralizes reactive oxygen species generated by UV exposure.
- C+E synergy: Together, Vitamins C and E provide up to 4Γ more photoprotection than either alone.
- Skin barrier: Helps maintain the lipid integrity of the stratum corneum.
π§ Silicone Blend (Dimethicone Family) Base Proven
The Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, and Dimethiconol blend creates the silky, blurring primer texture that makes TIZO3 famous. They smooth pores, lock filters in place, and improve water resistance.
- Optical blur: Silicones temporarily fill in fine lines and pores for a soft-focus effect.
- Non-comedogenic: Despite myths, dimethicone is rated 0/5 and does not clog pores.
- Water resistance: Holds up to 80 minutes of swimming or sweating per FDA testing.

Drugstore mineral tinted SPF with ceramides and niacinamide. Lower SPF (30 vs 40) and a heavier feel, but a fraction of the price for similar mineral protection.
French pharmacy mineral tinted SPF 50 with antioxidants. Slightly higher SPF, lighter texture, but tint range is narrower and finish is more satin than matte.
Untinted (so no iron oxide visible-light protection) but matches the matte primer feel and SPF 40 mineral filters at a slightly lower price point.

β Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. TIZO3 uses 100% mineral filters β Titanium Dioxide (8%) and Zinc Oxide (3.8%) β which sit on the surface of the skin and are not absorbed into the bloodstream. It is free of chemical UV filters (such as oxybenzone, octinoxate, avobenzone), retinoids, salicylic acid, and hydroquinone, all of which are commonly avoided during pregnancy. Mineral sunscreens are widely recommended by OB/GYNs and dermatologists as the safest sun protection for pregnant and breastfeeding women.
Yes. The full ingredient list contains no fatty acids, esters, polysorbates, fermented ingredients, or oils that feed Malassezia yeast. The base is a silicone-mineral matrix (Dimethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Titanium Dioxide, Zinc Oxide, Iron Oxides), all of which are safe for fungal-acne-prone skin. This makes TIZO3 one of the rare tinted SPFs you can use without triggering FA flare-ups.
Yes β and you should! Daily SPF is essential when using any active that increases sun sensitivity (retinol, tretinoin, AHA, BHA, vitamin C). TIZO3 is a final morning step layered over your serums and moisturizer, so it doesn't interfere with the actives underneath. The added antioxidants (Vitamin C + E) actually complement vitamin C serums and help neutralize free radicals generated by UV exposure.
TIZO3 is rated excellent for oily, combination, sensitive/rosacea, and acne-prone skin thanks to its silky matte finish, fragrance-free formula, and non-comedogenic profile. It is rated good for mature skin (with a hydrating moisturizer underneath) and moderate for very dry skin, where the matte finish may emphasize flaky patches unless properly hydrated first.
Cosmetic results are immediate: smoother, blurred, redness-neutralized skin from the first application. Skin-health results build over time: fewer breakouts and calmer rosacea within 2β4 weeks; reduced new hyperpigmentation and more even tone within 8β12 weeks; and clinically meaningful photoaging defense (fewer fine lines, sunspots) with 3β6 months of consistent daily use plus reapplication.
TIZO3 is the final step of your morning routine, applied after cleanser, toner, serums (such as vitamin C or hyaluronic acid), and moisturizer. If you wear makeup, TIZO3 acts as your primer β apply foundation, concealer, or powder directly on top once it has set (about 1 minute). Always wait 15 minutes before sun exposure for full SPF efficacy.
No. TIZO3 has an estimated comedogenic rating of 1/5 β very low. It is oil-free, fragrance-free, and contains no known pore-clogging ingredients. The base is silicone (Dimethicone, rated 0/5) and the actives are minerals (Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide), all of which are non-comedogenic. TIZO3 is dermatologist-recommended for acne-prone and post-procedure skin and is widely praised by users with breakout-prone skin.
TIZO3 has a Period After Opening (PAO) of approximately 12 months. Like all FDA-regulated sunscreens, it also carries a printed expiration date on the carton β use whichever comes first. Stored properly (cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat), the formula maintains full SPF efficacy throughout this window. Discard if you notice color changes, separation, or an unusual odor.
Verdict: TIZO3 Facial Primer Tinted SPF 40 is a dermatology-favorite 2-in-1 mineral sunscreen and primer that earns its premium price through a clean, well-formulated profile (8% Titanium Dioxide + 3.8% Zinc Oxide + iron oxides + Vitamin C/E antioxidants), an invisible universal tint, and a silky matte finish that blurs pores and grips makeup like nothing else in its class. It's pregnancy-safe, fungal-acne-safe, non-comedogenic, reef-safe, and gentle enough for post-procedure and rosacea-prone skin β a rare combination. Drawbacks are minor: a single shade range that doesn't suit very fair or deep skin tones, a matte finish that prefers oily-to-combination skin, and the $47 price tag. If you want one product to replace both your sunscreen and your foundation primer, this is one of the best on the market.

Understanding Simple Alcohols
Alcohol ingredients are widely used in cosmetics and come in different types. For the most part alcohols are not problematic at all. However one type of alcohols, simple alcohols can be quite drying to the skin because it evaporates very quickly. This can cause irritation which can also lead to other skin complications. These alcohols should never be used alone on your skin, but combined with other cosmetic ingredients, they are normally without issue.

Understanding Silicones
If you've ever used a skincare, makeup or beauty product that's made your skin look and feel smoother tempoarily - it's likely contained Silicone. They are a popular class of ingredients found in cosmetics due to their smooth, soft, easy-to-spread and smooth properties that help creates an artificial layer/barrier on top of skin or hair (commonly found in conditioners).
For the same reasons they are popularly used, they are also commonly avoided. Anecdotally, many individuals have reported that Silicones cause/excerbate breakouts, irritation, cause a feeling of skin being unable to breathe, cause clumping of cosmetic products and find it difficult to wash off. As a result, those who find them problematic are avoiding them and increasingly, cosmetic companies are avoiding them as well.
If you have had bad experiences with Silicones in the past, or suspect they are problematic then look out for the tick on the Silicone-free label.
Disclaimer
The Silicone-free label only includes the most common Silicone ingredients that have indentified been reported by individuals that could potentially cause issues.
These include: Amodimethicone, Behenoxy Dimethicone, Bis-Aminopropyl Dimethicone, Cetearyl Methicone, Cetyl Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethicone Copolyol, Dimethiconol, Methicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Stearoxy Dimethicone, Stearyl Dimethicone, Trimethylsilylamodimethicone.

EU Allergen-Free
EU Allergen-Free
Understanding the Identified Contact Allergens
The EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has identified and established 26 cosmetic ingredients that are likely contact allergens (potential to cause skin allergies) as demonstrated in clinical or epidemiological studies. The EU's SCCS have recommend cosmetic companies to disclose them on the labels if used and in cases where the concentration exceeds 0.001% in leave-on products and 0.01% in rinse-off products, then they must be labelled.
Look out for the tick on the EU-Allergen free label to know your cosmetic is free from any of the 26 identified cosmetic ingredients.
For more information regarding the EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety, please visit their official website.
Disclaimer
The EU Allergen Free label is for the 26 ingredients identified by the EU SCCS and products will be only flagged if a suspected ingredient is on it's ingredient list. It is possible for cosmetics to contain one of the suspect ingredients without it appearing on the ingredient list due to it not reaching the concentration threshold to disclose it and cosmetic manufacturers choice to not disclose it.
Also note, the EU Allergen Free label is not personalized for your own allergies you may have and it does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Understanding Fungal Acne (Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia Folliculitis)
Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia folliculitis or simply known as Fungal Acne is a persistent acne-like condition that commonly responds poorly to traditional acne-treating methods. Unlike most cases of Acne where bacteria is the culprit, Fungi is the culprit of Fungal Acne (Hence the name!). There are certain classes & groups of ingredients that have been shown to promote and feed the growth of the Fungal Acne, Fungi such as fatty acids, oils, esters, polysorbates and fermented ingredients.
For more information regarding Fungal Acne, please visit Simple Skincare Science (f.c) - #3 of our Recommend Skincare Resources for an amazing comprehensive guide!
Please Read: How to use the Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Label
At SkinCarisma, we've done our best to identify as many ingredients as possible but note the fungal-free label may not be 100% accurate due to the complexconditions and combination of ingredients that malezzeria can thrive on.
Additionally, products that may contain ingredients that have shown to feed Malassezia may not neccessarily exacerbate the condition due to concentration of ingredient used in the product, this information is simply not available on the products.
As a result, please note this is only an experimental label that can be best used to possible identify problematic products you have used in the past. It is in no way a perfect identifier nor a predictor in whether or not it will exacerbate or cause fungal acne. It will continue to be worked on as more information and research comes to light.
If you find any ingredients you believe should be included, please email us at snails@skincarisma.com.
Disclaimer
Due to the lack of substantial research into this area it is very likely there are other ingredients and class/groups of ingredients that could feed Fungal Acne which have not been indentified.
The Fungal-Safe label does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
What are Notable Effects & Ingredients?
Ever used a product that promised a certain effect but provided no results? It might not have contained any notable ingredients that could have been responsible for that promised effect. It doesn't matter what the marketing or packaging Β«promisesΒ» it can do, if it doesn't contain anything that can help - then the likelihood of it helping is low.
We help you identify key notable ingredients that have been shown to help with effects such as acne-fighting, brightening, UV-protection, wound healing & anti-aging to help you achieve your skincare goals smarter. Please note that different notable ingredients have varying levels of research behind them, some are extremely well proven yet some have mixed research in their efficacy.
Pro Tip Alert!
Just because a product doesn't contain any notable ingredients doesn't mean it's bad. And a product with notable ingredients (or even many) doesn't necessarily guarantee the efficacy of the product performing these effects either. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine this.
Be smart and use this as just a starting point for you to make more informed and smarter choices and compare it with reviews to see if the product is right for you

What are Ingredients Related to Skin Type?
Why are some products great for some people and horrible for others? Well everyone has different skin types and different reactions to the same ingredients.
We've identified a range of ingredients that are commonly regarded as potentially good or bad for those with Dry, Oily/Acne-Prone or Sensitive skin.
Pro Tip Alert!
A product that contains good or bad ingredients for your skin type doesn't always flat out make the entire product good or bad for your skin. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine your skins reaction.
One of the best ways to use this section is to troubleshoot products you've had bad experiences with in the past. Check if it contains any of the marked ingredients to point out suspect ingredients to avoid in the future!

What is the Ingredient Safety Breakdown?
Ingredient Safety Breakdown refers to the percentage % of ingredients in different risk categories as classified by EWG (Environment Working Group) if they are available. There are almost endless cosmetic ingredients and they are one of the few organisations globally that have assigned ratings to a lot of the more commonly used ingredients which is why we reference them.
Pro Tip Alert!
EWG is seen by many to be more on the alarmist side in their assignment of health ratings resulting in rating ingredients as riskier than they actually are. We recommend using this a reference point rather than a strict guide of ingredient safety and to always do further research if into ingredients that you may find suspect.
