Product Introduction

Entod Beauty SolFactor Silicone Sunscreen Ultra Matte Gel is a silicone-based sunscreen designed to provide broad-spectrum sun protection with a lightweight, non-greasy feel. With SPF 50 and PA+++, it is formulated to help protect exposed skin against UVB and UVA radiation during everyday outdoor activities.

Its ultra-matte finish helps reduce the appearance of surface shine, while the silicone-based texture spreads easily and creates a smooth base under makeup. The packaging describes the formula as oil-free, non-comedogenic, pH-balanced and suitable for all skin types.

Available in a convenient 50 ml pump bottle, SolFactor is designed for application to the face, neck and other exposed areas of the body. The pack also claims water and sweat resistance, anti-pollution benefits and protection against blue light, infrared radiation and high-energy visible light. These additional claims should be understood according to the product's testing and supporting evidence.

Uses

• Helps protect the face and body from UVA and UVB radiation.

• Supports daily sun protection during outdoor activities.

• Helps reduce excess shine with an ultra-matte finish.

• Can be used as a makeup primer before foundation or other makeup.

• Helps protect exposed skin from sun-related damage.

• Provides a silicone-based, smooth-feeling finish suitable for everyday skincare routines.

• The packaging claims protection against blue light, infrared radiation, HEV light and pollution-related exposure.

Intended use: Cosmetic sunscreen for external application. It is not a treatment for an existing skin disease.

How to Use

1. Apply generously and evenly to the face, neck and all exposed skin 20–30 minutes before sun exposure, as instructed on the packaging.

2. Use as the final step of your morning skincare routine, before applying makeup.

3. Spread evenly and allow the product to settle before applying foundation.

4. Reapply at least every two hours while outdoors, and reapply after swimming, heavy sweating or towel-drying.

5. Use adequate coverage on commonly missed areas, including the ears, neck and backs of the hands.

6. Combine sunscreen with protective clothing, shade and other sun-protection measures.

Important: Do not rely on a small amount of sunscreen. Use enough to cover all exposed areas evenly. The packaging does not specify the duration of water resistance, so do not assume it remains effective for a particular number of minutes in water.

How it Works

SolFactor combines several UV-filtering ingredients with a silicone-based gel system.

• UVB protection: Ingredients such as octyl methoxy cinnamate and ethylhexyl salicylate absorb UVB radiation, helping reduce UV-related skin damage.

• UVA protection: Diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate and methylene bis-benzotriazolyl tetramethylbutylphenol contribute UVA protection.

• Additional UV filtering: Titanium dioxide and zinc oxide are mineral ingredients that can contribute to UV protection.

• Smooth matte finish: Silicones such as dimethicone and cyclopentasiloxane improve spreadability and help create a smooth, silky surface.

• Moisture support: Glycerin helps attract and retain water in the outer skin layers.

• Skin conditioning: Tocopheryl acetate is a vitamin E derivative commonly used in cosmetic formulations.

The SPF and PA ratings describe sun-protection performance, not complete protection against all radiation or skin damage. The packaging's blue-light, infrared and anti-pollution claims should not be interpreted as guarantees of complete protection from those exposures.

3. Medical & Safety Information

Safety Advice

• For external use only.

• Avoid direct contact with the eyes and mucous membranes.

• If irritation develops, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.

• Keep out of reach of children.

• Store in a cool, dry place at a temperature not exceeding 25°C.

• Protect from light. Do not freeze.

• Replace the cap tightly after use.

• Perform a small-area patch test before first use, particularly if you have sensitive skin or a history of cosmetic allergies.

• If pregnant or breastfeeding, topical sunscreen is generally used for sun protection; consult your healthcare professional if you have concerns about a specific ingredient.

• Alcohol: No specific alcohol-related restriction is expected for a topical sunscreen.

• Driving: No known effect on driving is expected when used as directed.

• Kidney or liver conditions: No specific kidney- or liver-related restriction is stated on the packaging. Ask a healthcare professional if you have unusual sensitivities or specific medical concerns.

• If you have eczema, an active skin rash or a history of reactions to sunscreen, ask a dermatologist to help select a suitable product.

Quick Tips

• Apply sunscreen every morning, even on days with limited outdoor activity.

• Apply it generously rather than using a very thin layer to preserve the intended protection.

• Reapply at least every two hours outdoors.

• Reapply after swimming, sweating or towel-drying.

• Use it before makeup, not as a substitute for the amount of sunscreen needed.

• Pair sunscreen with a hat, sunglasses and shade.

• Check the product's expiry date and the manufacturing date on the carton before use.

• Do not use a product that has changed colour, smell or consistency unexpectedly.

Interaction with Drugs

No major systemic drug interaction is generally expected from a sunscreen applied to intact skin as directed. However, consider the following:

• Topical retinoids and exfoliating acids: Products containing tretinoin, adapalene, glycolic acid or salicylic acid may cause irritation or increase sensitivity to sunlight. Use them according to professional advice and maintain daily sun protection.

• Benzoyl peroxide and other acne treatments: Combining multiple topical products can increase dryness or irritation in some people.

• Other sunscreens or cosmetics: Layering multiple products may alter how evenly sunscreen spreads. Apply this product evenly and allow it to settle before makeup.

• Photosensitising medicines: Certain medicines can increase sensitivity to sunlight. Sunscreen remains important, but additional sun-protection measures may be necessary.

These are general precautions, not confirmed product-specific interactions. Ask a pharmacist or doctor about your individual medicines if you are unsure.

5. FAQs

1. Is SolFactor SPF 50 PA+++ suitable for daily use?

Yes. The packaging describes it as a sunscreen for daily sun protection. Apply it generously to exposed skin before sun exposure and reapply at least every two hours outdoors.

2. Can I use SolFactor sunscreen on oily skin?

Its oil-free, non-greasy and ultra-matte formula may suit people who prefer a less shiny finish. Individual skin responses vary, so patch-test if you have sensitive or acne-prone skin.

3. Can I apply makeup over SolFactor sunscreen?

Yes. The product is labelled as an invisible makeup primer. Apply sunscreen before makeup, allow it to settle, and avoid mixing it directly with foundation because this may affect even coverage.

4. Does SolFactor SPF 50 protect against both UVA and UVB rays?

The packaging claims broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection and lists SPF 50 PA+++. SPF primarily indicates UVB protection, while the PA rating indicates UVA protection. No sunscreen blocks all UV radiation.

5. How often should I reapply SolFactor sunscreen?

The package instructs users to reapply at least every two hours. Reapply after swimming, sweating heavily or towel-drying. The label does not specify a tested water-resistance duration.
