FORMULATION FACT 01

We formulate our Dew Skin Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20 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 allergenic 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.

Is Dew Skin a foundation or a tinted moisturizer?

Dew Skin is a skincare-powered tinted moisturizer that combines sheer coverage, mineral SPF 20, and skincare benefits in one effortless step. It helps even the look of
skin while leaving behind a naturally luminous, dewy finish. For light to medium, buildable coverage with skincare benefits but no SPF, try Skin Twin Featherweight Foundation.

How much coverage does Dew Skin provide?

Dew Skin provides sheer coverage that helps visibly even skin tone while imparting a luminous finish. It's designed to enhance—not mask—your complexion. For light to medium buildable coverage with natural finish, try Skin Twin Featherweight Foundation.

How do I choose my shade?

Dew Skin's sheer, skin-like coverage makes each of the eight shades flexible and easy to
wear across a range of skin tones. Choose the shade that appears closest to your skin tone.

How is Dew Skin different from a traditional tinted moisturizer?

Unlike traditional tinted moisturizers that primarily provide coverage, Dew Skin combines sheer coverage, mineral SPF 20, and skincare benefits in one formula. It immediately helps skin look more even and radiant while helping visibly brighten, firm, and improve elasticity with continued use.

Can I wear Dew Skin alone or under makeup?

Yes. Wear Dew Skin on its own for healthy-looking, naturally radiant skin, or layer it
under or with additional makeup for more coverage as desired.

Does Dew Skin provide enough sun protection?

Dew Skin contains non-nano zinc oxide to provide mineral SPF 20 broad spectrum
protection against UVA and UVB rays when used as directed. Apply liberally 15 minutes before sun exposure and reapply at least every two hours. See the Drug Facts box for complete directions and warnings.

What is non-nano zinc oxide?

Non-nano zinc oxide is a mineral UV filter that provides broad spectrum protection
against UVA and UVB rays. Its larger particle size allows it to remain on skin’s surface, where it helps reflect harmful UV rays.

The one product I can't live without
As someone who has very fair skin, this is a MUST for me! I don't love full coverage, so this tint covers my imperfections while still allowing my freckles to show... and protects my light skin from any damage. Love the feel, easy application with my fingers, and a great layering piece when I do need extra coverage (family photos, weddings, etc.) I do not go a day without this!

Best tinted moisturizer
I've used this product for years. During the rebrand when it wasn't available, I couldn't find any other tinted moisturizers that delivered the same effect. It goes on so smooth, minimizing the look of pores, and evens out skin tone. Even when I had melasma, it did a decent job of making it less noticeable.
