What active ingredients and protection levels are included?

This product uses 100% mineral actives—zinc oxide and titanium dioxide—to deliver broad-spectrum protection. It’s formulated to SPF 50 with PA++++ classification and provides water/sweat resistance for up to 80 minutes.

• Zinc oxide 22.5% and titanium dioxide 22.5% for physical sun defense.

Will this product suit sensitive or acne-prone skin?

The powder is non-comedogenic and was developed with gentle, health-forward ingredients, so it’s frequently recommended for reactive or fragile skin types. Mineral actives are less likely to irritate compared with some chemical filters, and the formulation includes skin-supporting extracts.

• Includes hyaluronic acid–infused powder to help maintain moisture balance.
• Antioxidant blend helps protect against environmental stressors without harsh irritants.

How should I apply and reapply the brush-on shield for best results?

Use the built-in brush to sweep product evenly across exposed areas, starting from the center of the face outward. For full protection, apply liberally at first use and reapply every two hours or after heavy sweating or towel-drying; the brush design makes quick touch-ups convenient.

• Shake gently and press brush to distribute powder before first use.
• Sweep across face, neck, and ears; blend into hairline and jawline.
• Reapply as needed throughout the day—over makeup without disturbing coverage.
