What It Does
Where most SPF formulas feel heavy or congesting, Clear Shield combines reliable sun protection with oil-control technology, helping reduce excess shine while keeping skin comfortable throughout the day.
Broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection is delivered through micronized Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide. Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) supports sebum regulation and helps maintain a more balanced, even-looking complexion over time. The formula is further supported by Exo-P™, a physical pollution shield, and an antioxidant complex that targets Oxidative Aging™, the cumulative damage from pollution, HEV blue light, and infrared radiation that contributes to visible premature aging.
The quick-drying formula is designed to blend seamlessly across skin tones, layers comfortably under makeup without clogging pores, and forms the daily protection step within your routine.
Clear Shield is a lightweight mineral sunscreen designed for oily, acne‑prone skin. For normal to dry skin, see Sheer Hydration (Untinted) or Sheer Hydration Versatile Tint.

Ingredients
Micronized Zinc Oxide
A safe, micro-fine mineral that offers broad-spectrum protection from both UVA (aging) and UVB (sunburn-causing) rays without leaving residual chalkiness on skin. Zinc oxide is known as a physical sunscreen agent, largely reflecting and scattering UV rays.
Titanium Dioxide
A safe naturally occurring mineral coated for sun stability, titanium dioxide offers broad-spectrum protection from both UVA (aging) and UVB (sunburn-causing) rays. Like zinc oxide, titanium dioxide is known as a physical sunscreen agent, largely reflecting and scattering UV rays.
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)
Along with keeping in moisture and boosting hydration, it also brightens skin.
Hyaluronic Acid
A complex sugar molecule occurring naturally in the body, hyaluronic acid hydrates by drawing water into the outer layers. It holds up to 1,000 times its weight in water, and makes skin plumper, softer and smoother.
ELIX-IR™
Knotgrass extract which is rich in flavonoids, and protects the skin against the damaging effects of infrared (IR).
Physavie®
A plant extract that shields against the effects of IR and visible light (HEV)
Exo-P™
An exopolysaccharide that acts as a biomimetic shield against particulate matter from pollution.

FAQs
- How often should I reapply this sunscreen?
We recommend reapplying this sunscreen every two hours during sun exposure and after swimming, sweating, or towel drying.
- Can I use this sunscreen under makeup?
Yes, Clear Shield can be used under makeup. Its lightweight, quick-drying formula allows for seamless application without pilling or feeling congested.
- Is this sunscreen non-comedogenic (will it clog pores)?
Clear Shield is specifically formulated for oily and acne-prone skin. It is oil-free and uses lightweight physical filters that sit on top of the skin rather than absorbing into pores, minimizing the risk of congestion.
- Does this mineral sunscreen leave a white cast?
Our formulation uses advanced micronized mineral particles and is designed to blend seamlessly into the skin. When applied evenly, it provides broad-spectrum protection with a virtually invisible finish.
- What is the difference between physical and chemical sunscreens?
Chemical sunscreens absorb UV rays. Clear Shield is a physical (mineral) sunscreen that acts like a mirror, reflecting harmful UVA and UVB rays away from the skin surface. This is generally preferred for sensitive or heat-reactive skin types.
- Is this sunscreen suitable for acne-prone skin?
Yes. Clear Shield is 100% oil-free anddoes not block pores. Mineral filters sit on the skin's surface rather than absorbing into pores, and Niacinamide supports a more balanced, clearer-looking complexion over time.
- What sunscreen should I use?
Clear Shield is designed for oily and acne-prone skin. For normal to dry skin, see Sheer Hydration Untinted or Sheer Hydration Versatile Tint.
