FORMULATION FACT 01

We formulate Daily Sheer Defense with non-nano zinc oxide—a broad spectrum mineral-based UV filter—and avoid chemical-based UV filters such as oxybenzone, octinoxate, and octocrylene that carry concern for hormone disruption. Oxybenzone is readily absorbed through the skin and has potential to cause allergic skin reaction upon sun exposure.

FORMULATION FACT 02

We never use octinoxate or oxybenzone, ingredients with the potential to damage coral reefs, making our sunscreen active safer for both people and our oceans.

      My go to face SPF

      Love this product so much! Have been using it for years. I have fair skin and need to apply SPF daily! Goes on smoothly. Does not have a white cast. Perfect size to keep in my purse. Highly recommend!

      Non-greasy facial sunscreen

      I’ve only been using this sunscreen a few weeks but so far so good. I have very sensitive skin and recently underwent MOHS surgery on my face so am being very cautious. This product doesn’t burn and I use with my moisturizer. I live in Florida so try to stay out of direct sun. I hope it does its job as I don’t want to go through another surgery. I like using it as I do all my Counter products.

      Goes on Smoothly, No Thick White Paste!

      My biggest concern before trying this product was the consistency. I was pleased to find out this is very similar to the.Antioxidant Soft Cream. I don’t use a ton of sunscreen, so I have even rubbed a little bit of this on my shoulders and arms, and I don’t get burned at all. Works great for me and I will definitely buy it again. The bottle is small, but a little bit goes a long way. It has no smell. I am very sensitive to perfumes, so this is a big plus!
