Powered by EnviroScreen Technology, this 1.8 fl oz Face Shield combines 12% zinc oxide with hydrating antioxidants to create a weightless, oil-free barrier that blends into all skin tones.

How does this sunscreen protect against daily environmental damage?

The Face Shield uses a 100% mineral active (12% zinc oxide) plus patented EnviroScreen actives and antioxidants to defend against multiple external aggressors beyond UV light. It forms a physical barrier against UVA and UVB and helps reduce the impact of pollution, HEV (blue) light and infrared exposure.

• Broad spectrum protection: SPF 50 with PA+++ rating for strong UVA defense
• EnviroScreen Technology: shields from pollution, HEV, and IR
• Antioxidant-rich ingredients like tocopherol and Tremella extract help neutralize free radicals

Will it feel heavy or change my skin tone?

This formula is a lightweight liquid designed to blend invisibly into a wide range of skin tones without leaving a chalky cast. Its oil-free, hydrating base gives a natural, bare-faced finish suitable for daily wear and for layering under makeup.

• Universal shade for invisible coverage on most skin tones
• Lightweight texture absorbs quickly, leaving minimal residue
• Works well under foundation or as a stand-alone finish

How should I apply it for best results?

Shake the bottle well before use, then apply liberally and evenly to the face, neck, and décolleté. Reapply at least every two hours or after prolonged swimming, sweating, or towel drying to maintain sun protection.

• Apply generously to all exposed areas: face, neck, and décolleté
• Reapply after 40 minutes of water exposure or heavy sweating
• 90-day supply based on typical daily application from a 1.8 fl oz bottle

Is this suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

The formula is oil-free, hypoallergenic, and free of parabens, phthalates, synthetic fragrances, talc, and drying alcohols, reducing common irritants. It is dermatologist recommended and intended to be non-comedogenic, making it appropriate for many sensitive or acne-prone complexions, though patch testing is advised for very reactive skin.

• Hypoallergenic and oil-free to minimize breakouts or irritation
• Free from common irritants and synthetic fragrances
• Dermatologist recommended; suitable for most skin types and tones

Who is this for? Colorescience Total Protection Face Shield Classic SPF 50 is ideal for anyone seeking a high-protection, mineral-based daily sunscreen that doubles as a light cosmetic finish. It fits well into routines for people who want strong broad-spectrum UV protection plus defense from pollution and blue light, those who prefer oil-free, non-irritating formulations, and anyone who needs a smooth, invisible layer under makeup or as a natural no-makeup look.
