Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield Flex SPF 50

Broad-spectrum sunscreen with tone-adapting color coverage / 1.8 oz 

Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield Flex SPF 50 PA ++++ is a powerful broad-spectrum sunscreen available in four uniquely flexible shades for comfortable coverage with a natural, satiny finish on the skin. It’s Colorescience’s #1 best seller, and if you’ve been looking for a tinted sunscreen, you’ve got to try this one.

Face Shield Flex is not quite a foundation, but its coverage is more substantial than that of a typical BB cream; each one of its shades suits a variety of undertones, making shade selection a lot easier. (If you’re deciding between two shades on this one, we always suggest selecting the lighter one, or using our Custom Sample Service to try the two that you’re mulling over.)

Like its Colorescience siblings, Face Shield Flex has serious substance, too. Its non-nano zinc has a patented coating that not only ensures uniform particle size and dispersion, but also decreases its photoreactivity and results in a 65% decrease in free radical formation from UV and pollution. (Bonus: it also gives the antioxidants in the formula a Marvel-like boost.) The formula is both SPF 50 and PA++++, providing excellent broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection; it also protects from 82.2% to 92.5% of blue light, thanks to the encapsulated iron oxides that make up its uniquely flexible shades.

Those encapsulated iron oxides are the little flecks that you see in the formula; when applied to the skin, they release their color, which is kind of fun and exciting.

Its milky texture doesn’t feel greasy, heavy, or sticky, either; it sweeps onto skin with a satin finish. It’s also hydrating, antioxidant-rich, non-comedogenic, hypoallergenic, fragrance free, vegan, and water/sweat-resistant up to 40 minutes.

This awesome formula also includes super-hydrating silver ear mushroom extract; a combination of super-antioxidant tara tannins with organic sunflower sprouts that helps protect skin from the effects of infrared radiation; soothing bisabolol; and a powerful antioxidant called Lipochroman that fights free radicals created by pollution and other environmental aggressors.

It sits like magic on well-hydrated, well-moisturized skin, and you can mix it with Face Shield Glow for a boost of added luminosity. Outdoor weddings, graduations, reunions: this is the one.
