How does this sunscreen protect my skin beyond UV rays?

The Face Shield combines physical mineral UV filters with Colorescience’s EnviroScreen Technology to defend against multiple environmental stressors. Active 12% zinc oxide provides broad UVA/UVB coverage while added antioxidant extracts help neutralize free radicals from pollution, high-energy visible (HEV) light and infrared sources.

• Broad-spectrum SPF 50 with PA+++ rating for strong UVA/UVB defense
• EnviroScreen Technology targets pollution, HEV (blue) light and IR exposure
• Includes antioxidants such as tocopherol and plant extracts for additional protection

Will it feel heavy or change my skin tone when I wear it?

The formula is designed to sit lightweight on skin and blend invisibly into diverse tones, creating a natural bare-faced finish. The liquid texture spreads easily and dries without a greasy film, suitable for wearing alone or under makeup.

• Universal shade intended for invisible coverage on many skin tones
• Light, non-greasy liquid absorbs quickly for comfortable all-day wear
• Oil-free and hypoallergenic with a natural finish

How should I apply and how long does a bottle last with typical use?

Shake well, then apply liberally and evenly to the face, neck and décolleté. Reapply after 40 minutes of water exposure, heavy sweating, or anytime you’ve wiped or towel-dried the skin; otherwise reapply at least every two hours for continued protection during sun exposure.

• Recommended application: face, neck and décolleté for full coverage
• Water-resistant for up to 40 minutes; reapply after swimming or sweating
• 1.8 fl. oz. / 55 mL provides about a 90-day supply with typical daily use
