Key active ingredients
– Zinc oxide 12% – a mineral UV filter that provides broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB radiation and helps reduce the risk of sun-induced skin damage.
– EnviroScreen® Technology – a patented technology that helps protect the skin from environmental factors, including pollution, blue light and infrared radiation.
– Encapsulated iron oxide pigments – activate on application and help adapt the tint to the skin’s natural tone, visually evening out the skin’s appearance.
– Antioxidants – help neutralise free radicals and protect the skin from oxidative stress that can be promoted by UV radiation and environmental factors.
– Moisturising ingredients – help maintain skin comfort and hydration so the skin looks fresher, smoother and more supple.
Effect
The product provides high mineral SPF50 PA++++ protection against UVA and UVB radiation while helping protect the skin from the effects of pollution, blue light and infrared radiation. The tinted formula helps instantly visually even out skin tone, reduce the appearance of imperfections and give the skin a natural, demi-matte finish. Coverage is buildable – one layer provides a more natural effect, while an additional layer gives a more pronounced tinted coverage. The formula is suitable for daily use as SPF protection, a tinted facial product or a light alternative to foundation.
Usage
Shake well before use. Dispense the product onto your fingertips and gently rub to activate the encapsulated pigments. When the tint begins to develop from white to a shade matched to the skin, apply the product to a previously moisturised face and continue to blend until coverage is even. The tint is fully activated when the product is no longer white. Allow the tint to fully adapt for 1–2 minutes. Use as the first layer of sun and environmental protection in the morning. Reapply SPF protection every 2 hours. For convenient SPF touch-ups during the day or over make-up, Colorescience Total Protection™ Brush-On Shield SPF50 can be used.
Additional usage recommendation
It is recommended to apply with fingertips rather than a brush, as this helps fully activate the encapsulated pigments and ensures a more even tint. For the face, use at least a coin-sized amount, with extra for the neck and décolletage. The product can be used alone for a natural look, applied under foundation for greater coverage, or combined with Face Shield Glow or Face Shield Bronze to customise the facial finish.
Available shades
Fair – for lighter skin tones.
Medium – for medium skin tones.
Tan – for warmer or darker skin tones.
If choosing between two shades, it is recommended to select the lighter one.
