Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield SPF 50 Glow

The lightweight, subtly perfecting, no-makeup-makeup sunscreen you’ve been looking for / 1.8 oz

Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield Glow SPF 50 PA++++ is one of the main reasons why we thought, “We’ve got to have these new Colorescience sunscreens!”

The back story: One of our longtime customers, and biggest cheerleaders, has outrageously beautiful skin — and always looks so perfectly pulled together that some have noted, “It would be a little intimidating if she wasn’t so friendly and cool.”

One day, she casually mentioned to Dara that she used Colorescience Face Shield Glow because she had seen someone else with beautiful skin who swore by it — and both of them found that it was all they needed to use on their face. No makeup; just this.

Run, don’t walk, to that “add to cart” button, because her skin looks like barely airbrushed perfection.

Of course, add to cart because there’s serious substance to this product, 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.

Its milky texture doesn’t feel greasy, heavy, or sticky, either; it feels beautifully smooth and light on the skin. 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.

And the last thing that makes it “run, don’t walk” is its flattering golden tone, which shape-shifts to provide most skin tones and types with a lit-from-within glow. (If your skin tone is very fair or very deep, try a sample first or get in touch with us – we’ll let you know if it’ll work.) Added bonus: its iron oxides that provide some of that slightly-perfected look also help protect from the damaging effects of blue light (this particular formula has been tested to protect against 78.5% of it, to be exact, which is a very high percentage relative to others).

It’s such a winner.
