This sheer, lightweight, and cosmetically elegant formula provides all-physical broad-spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen protection, making it ideal for all skin types, including sensitive and post-procedure skin.
Key Benefits:
- Comprehensive Sun Protection: Features Titanium Dioxide 5.0% and Zinc Oxide 6.0% to defend against damaging UVA and UVB rays, with the highest PA++++ UVA protection rating.
- Gentle & Soothing: Formulated to be non-comedogenic, paraben-free, hypoallergenic, oil-free, and fragrance-free, making it suitable for even the most delicate skin.

How to Use:
Apply liberally 15 minutes before sun exposure to your entire face, neck, chest, and other sun-exposed areas. Reapply at least every two hours, and after towel drying, swimming, or sweating to maintain optimal protection.
Sun Protection Measures: Spending time in the sun increases your risk of skin cancer and early skin aging. To decrease this risk, regularly use a sunscreen with a broad-spectrum SPF value of 15 or higher and other sun protection measures including: limiting time in the sun, especially from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m., and wearing long-sleeved shirts, pants, hats, and sunglasses.
