Obagi Medical Sun Shield Mineral Broad Spectrum SPF 50 Sunscreen — 3 oz. tube, lightweight non-greasy mineral protection

This mineral formula uses zinc oxide and titanium dioxide to provide physical sun protection while staying lightweight on the skin. Designed for daily use, the Obagi Sun Shield Mineral SPF 50 works with different skin types and routines thanks to a non-greasy finish and light-stable active ingredients. It’s made in the USA and comes in a convenient tube that’s easy to apply and carry.

How does this sunscreen protect skin without feeling heavy?

The Obagi Sun Shield Mineral uses 4.7% zinc oxide and 4.9% titanium dioxide as the active, mineral filters that sit on the skin’s surface to scatter UV rays. Those specific concentrations are chosen to balance effective mineral coverage with a sheer texture that absorbs quickly.

• Mineral actives: 4.7% zinc oxide + 4.9% titanium dioxide for broad-spectrum defense.
• Light-stable formulation to maintain protection under sun exposure.
• Sheer, non-greasy finish that layers well under makeup.

Will this sunscreen work with sensitive or acne-prone skin?

Because it’s a mineral sunscreen, it tends to be gentler on sensitive skin than some chemical sunscreens. The lightweight, quick-absorbing texture reduces pore-clogging feel and can fit into skincare routines designed for breakout-prone skin.

• Mineral filters are less likely to irritate reactive skin.
• Non-oily finish helps minimize the appearance of shine and clogged pores.
• Suitable for daily use with moisturizers and serums.

How should I apply and reapply Obagi Sun Shield Mineral SPF 50?

Apply evenly to all sun-exposed areas at least 15 minutes before outdoor exposure. For continuous protection, reapply every two hours or sooner after swimming, sweating, or towel drying to maintain SPF 50 effectiveness.

• Use generous amount for full face and body areas being exposed.
• Reapply every 2 hours, or after water exposure or heavy sweating.
• Works under makeup—allow a moment to absorb before applying cosmetics.

What makes this 3 oz. tube a practical choice for everyday use?

The 3 fluid ounce size is compact enough for daily carry yet large enough for regular application at home. The squeeze-tube packaging prevents contamination and helps control dispensed amount for precise application.

• 3 fl. oz. tube fits in bags or toiletry kits for travel and daily carry.
• Tube dispenser helps maintain hygiene and reduce product waste.
• Made in the USA to meet manufacturing and quality standards.

Who is this for: Obagi Sun Shield Mineral Broad Spectrum SPF 50 is a good fit for people seeking a mineral, non-greasy SPF with strong broad-spectrum coverage—especially those with sensitive or combination skin, anyone who prefers physical sun filters, and users who want a travel-friendly 3 oz. tube for daily protection. It pairs well with morning skincare and makeup routines and is suitable for everyday urban sun exposure where a sheer, light-feeling sunscreen is preferred.
