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.

      Great product

      I like this because this is a safe way to protect your skin from excess sun without all the harmful chemicals in regular brands. Bravo.

      Daily Sheer Defence SPF 25 is amazing!

      Counter Daily Defence sunscreen is an effective, beautiful feeling, moisturizing sunscreen. I love that it feels lightweight on my face, it’s unscented, no chalky cast on my skin yet protective from sun and washes off easily leaving a clean feeling. It’s the absolute best!

      Perfect

      Same as before - perfect.

      I use it every day and also choose to put it on my toddler’s face as most other sunscreens cause her eyes to water.

      Best mineral sunscreen hands down!

      I am so thrilled that I tried this! I love it. It is lightweight and has great coverage. Of course, I love that it is free of chemicals and is good for my skin and overall health BUT I also love how it feels on my face and has no white cast.

      I have tried so many mineral face sunscreens. They are either too thick and oily or too matte and drying. This one is perfect- gives me a nice glow, spreads evenly, is moisturizing and provides great coverage. I am so happy to have found this- a new favourite!
