Colorescience Mineral Face Shield Sunscreen SPF 50 — Glow Pearlescent, 1.8 fl oz, Zinc Oxide & Hydrating

Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield Glow SPF 50 is a lightweight, all-mineral facial sunscreen that adds a pearlescent, luminous finish while shielding skin from UVA/UVB, blue light, pollution and infrared radiation.

This hydrating liquid sunscreen combines broad-spectrum zinc oxide protection with antioxidant-rich ingredients and Colorescience’s EnviroScreen Technology to defend skin from multiple environmental stressors. The formula blends into a variety of skin tones for a natural, lit-from-within glow, is water- and sweat-resistant for 40 minutes, and is formulated without parabens, phthalates, fragrances, talc or oils. Dermatologist-tested and non-comedogenic, it’s intended as an everyday protective step for face, neck and décolleté.

How does this shield protect beyond basic SPF?

The Face Shield uses 12% zinc oxide for physical broad-spectrum UV defense and Colorescience’s patented EnviroScreen Technology to extend protection to pollution, HEV (blue) light and infrared radiation. Antioxidants in the formula help neutralize free radicals generated by environmental aggressors, supporting skin’s resilience.

• Broad-spectrum SPF 50 with 12% zinc oxide (physical blocker)
• EnviroScreen Technology targets pollution, blue light and IR
• Antioxidant-rich, free-radical defense built into the formula
• Water/sweat resistance for up to 40 minutes

Will the glow look natural on different skin tones?

The Glow shade has a pearlescent, illuminating tint designed to impart a healthy radiance rather than opaque coverage. The lightweight, blendable texture adapts to a range of complexions and layers easily under or over makeup without leaving a heavy cast.

• Pearlescent finish for subtle luminosity, not a mask
• Light liquid texture that blends into most skin tones
• Non-comedogenic and oil-free for everyday wear under makeup

How should I apply and reapply for reliable protection?

Shake the bottle well, then apply liberally and evenly to face, neck and décolleté before sun exposure. Reapply at least every two hours and after swimming, sweating, or towel drying to maintain SPF 50 coverage and water resistance.

• Shake well before each use to ensure even texture
• Apply generously to face, neck and décolleté
• Reapply every two hours and after water exposure or heavy sweating

Is this formula safe for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

The product is dermatologist-tested, hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic, formulated without fragrance, dyes, drying alcohols or common irritants. Its mineral active ingredient (zinc oxide) is often better tolerated by sensitive skin than many chemical filters.

• Hypoallergenic and dermatologist-tested
• Free from fragrance, parabens, phthalates, talc and dyes
• Non-comedogenic, oil-free formula suitable for many acne-prone types
