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.

      Best face SPF ever!

      It doesn't leave a residue, and I never get sunburned when I apply this. It is so lightweight, too!

      I enjoy using this facial sunscreen. My skin feels moist, and my eyes do not water.

      Great product!

      I have used this product for about 10 years now. I now live in the south and I rely on it for my daily spf and moisturizer.

      Light, Great Coverage

      This is one of my favorite products. It applies so smoothly and a little goes a long way. I will be buying more of this for myself and my daughters. Great source of extra protection for my face. Thank you Counter for such a wonderful product.
