Overview of Celenes Herbal Sunscreen

My friend suggested this sunscreen since she knows my skin and eyes can be sensitive. She was confident it would work for me. At first, I was a bit unsure because I hadn’t heard of Celenes by Sweden brand before, but I was pumped to try something new from beautiful Sweden. Let me tell you about my experience!

Packaging:

There is nothing special about the packaging; it’s just a regular cylindrical white tube with a transparent cap. However, as someone who values hygienic product applications, I appreciate the dispenser. I can pump the product directly onto my face without worrying about air and bacteria contaminating the remainder. Item weight 50 Grams.

Features:

  • Formula: it is made of minerals and organic sun filters to provide full protection against UVA+UVB rays, and prevent sunspots and sunburns, it also shields against indirect skin damage due to blue light.​
  • Texture: at the beginning, it was sticky and chalky but once blended, it gave a light feeling with no color.
  • Finish: first it gave a greasy feeling but later, it mattified with a non-shiny effect and did not leave white marks.
  • Safety: It does not contain paraben, perfume, alcohol, or mineral oil.
  • Scent: although the brand claims it has no scent, I could not help but smell minerals, which isn’t that bad of a scent.
  • Longevity: I applied it and it lasted me for about 5 hours.
  • Principles: This herbal sunscreen is vegan, cruelty-free, and essential oil-free.

Application:

The application is like another herbal sunscreen;

  • cleanse the skin and dry it.
  • apply moisturizer.
  • apply sunscreen and don’t forget important areas.
  • re-apply when necessary.

Conclusion:

This herbal sunscreen would be great for anyone who is looking for a colorless, non-sticky feeling sunscreen that suits sensitive skin and eyes.
