Will this sunscreen work under makeup?

Yes, the lightweight formula layers beautifully under makeup without pilling or creating a heavy feel. Many clients use it as a tinted primer.

Is the tint universal for all skin tones?

The universal tint is designed to blend into most skin tones, from fair to medium-deep. For very fair or very deep skin tones, we recommend trying a sample first.

Does this protect against blue light from screens?

Yes, the EnviroScreen® Technology and iron oxides provide protection against blue light (HEV) from digital devices in addition to UV protection.

Can I use this on sensitive skin after treatments?

Absolutely. The 100% mineral formula is gentle enough for post-procedure skin and won't cause irritation like chemical sunscreens might.

How to Use

Apply generously and evenly to face and neck 15 minutes before sun exposure. Use as the final step in your morning skincare routine, before makeup if desired. Reapply every 2 hours or immediately after swimming, sweating, or toweling off. Shake well before each use. A nickel-sized amount is typically sufficient for full face and neck coverage.

Pro Tip from Our Clinicians

This is our most popular sunscreen for post-procedure care after IPL, chemical peels, or Morpheus8 treatments. The mineral formula won't irritate healing skin, and the tint helps camouflage temporary redness while providing essential UV protection during the recovery period.
