Shield & Smooth Daily Mineral Sunscreen SPF 40
A silky, untinted mineral SPF that hydrates, smooths, and helps protect skin daily.
Meet the untinted companion to Protect & Hydrate Tinted SPF 44. Shield & Smooth Daily Mineral Sunscreen SPF 40 delivers broad-spectrum mineral protection in a hydrating, silky-smooth formula designed for everyday wear. Powered by Zinc Oxide 17%, plus glycoproteins, bioflavonoids, humectants, shea butter, and smoothing silicones, this water-resistant sunscreen helps protect against UVA/UVB rays while leaving skin feeling soft, moisturized, and comfortable—without tint.
“Daily SPF is one of the most important steps in any skincare routine. I wanted Shield & Smooth to feel more like skincare than sunscreen—hydrating, smoothing, and easy to wear every day, especially for anyone who wants mineral protection without tint.”- Dr. Paul Nassif
Apply liberally to face and neck as the last step in your morning skincare routine, avoiding the eye area. Wait at least 15 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply after 80 minutes of swimming or sweating, immediately after towel drying, and at least every 2 hours.
Silky, smooth, and moisturizing with a soft, comfortable finish. Untinted and designed for daily use on all skin types.
- Zinc Oxide 17% – A 100% mineral sunscreen active that sits on the skin’s surface to help protect against both UVA and UVB exposure. Zinc oxide is especially well-suited for daily facial use because it provides broad-spectrum protection while remaining a preferred option for sensitive or post-treatment skin.
- Glycoproteins – Skin-conditioning molecules that help support a calmer, more comfortable skin feel. In this formula, glycoproteins help reinforce the skincare benefit of the sunscreen by leaving skin feeling soothed, balanced, and refreshed — not stripped or stressed.
- Bioflavonoids – Plant-derived antioxidant-support ingredients that help complement daily UV protection by supporting the skin against visible environmental stressors. They help strengthen the “daily defense” story beyond SPF alone.
- Humectants – Hydration-supporting ingredients that help attract and bind moisture to the skin’s surface. This helps prevent the tight, dry feel some mineral sunscreens can leave behind and makes the formula more comfortable for everyday wear.
- Shea Butter - A nourishing emollient rich in skin-conditioning lipids that helps soften and cushion the skin. It supports the formula’s moisturizing feel and helps make the SPF more appropriate for daily facial use, especially for skin that feels dry or sensitized.
