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.

      Perfect protection

      Love the creaminess of this formula! Goes on very smoothly and does not leave a pasty looking film.

      Tan Don't Burn

      I love this product. It is just the right size for my purse and a day shopping at the Farmer's Market

      so I don't get burned from the sun while shopping!

      Cannot live without this in Sunny CO.

      This is my daily go to. I never skip it. I live in the Mile high city and the sun is so intense. I mix this with the adaptive moisture lotion for the perfect moisturizing and protective barrier. Can't live without it!
