Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Color Balm SPF50 9g

Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Color Balm SPF 50 is a 100% mineral, multi-tasking colour balm with SPF 50 and PA++++, powered by EnviroScreen technology against UVA/UVB, pollution, blue light and infrared - a hydrating, tinted balm for cheeks, eyes and lips that protects and adds a wash of natural colour in one step

Color Balm SPF 50 is the multi-use tinted balm from the Sunforgettable Total Protection line by Colorescience. It is a 100% all-mineral formula that delivers broad-spectrum SPF 50, PA++++ protection together with the brand's EnviroScreen technology against UVA/UVB rays, pollution, blue light (HEV) and infrared radiation. In a single hydrating balm it brings sun protection and sheer, buildable colour to the cheeks, eyes and lips, so you can protect and add a healthy flush of colour in one easy step.

100% mineral SPF 50 protection

The active protection comes from Zinc Oxide 12.5%, a mineral filter that sits on the skin and reflects and scatters UV light, delivering broad-spectrum SPF 50 and PA++++ protection against both UVB (burning) and UVA (ageing) rays. The formula is 100% all-mineral, with no chemical UV filters, which makes it a gentle choice for the delicate skin of the lips and eye area and for those who prefer physical sunscreens.

EnviroScreen technology - beyond UV

EnviroScreen technology is Colorescience's protective complex that defends the skin against more than the sun. Beyond UVA and UVB rays, it helps protect against pollution, blue light (High Energy Visible light) and infrared radiation - everyday environmental stressors that contribute to premature ageing and uneven tone. Antioxidants in the formula help neutralise the free radicals these exposures generate, so the balm cares for the skin as well as colouring it.

One balm for cheeks, eyes and lips

Color Balm is a genuinely multi-tasking product: the same balm works as a tint for the lips, a wash of colour on the cheeks and a soft shade on the eyes. This makes it ideal for a quick, natural look and for keeping in a bag for on-the-go touch-ups. Because it protects while it colours, every application also tops up sun protection on the areas people most often forget - the lips and around the eyes.

A hydrating, nourishing balm

The texture is a hydrating, emollient balm with a natural finish - neither glossy nor matte - that feels comfortable and nourishing rather than drying. It glides on smoothly and leaves a soft, skin-like sheen, making it a pleasure to wear on the lips and cheeks throughout the day. Its balmy base helps condition and soften the skin it is applied to.

Eight shades - classics and luminizers

Color Balm comes in eight shades: six classic tints - Berry, Blush, Golden Hour, Violet Haze, Pink Sky and Savanna - plus two luminizers, Bronze and Glow, for a touch of warmth or radiance. The classics give a natural flush of colour to lips and cheeks, while the luminizers add a soft, lit-from-within glow, so the range covers everyday tints and light highlighting alike.

Safe around the delicate eye area

Because it is designed for use on the eyes as well as the lips and cheeks, Color Balm is ophthalmologist tested and formulated to be safe around the eyes, including for contact lens wearers. This, together with its gentle all-mineral formula, makes it a comfortable choice for the delicate, thin skin of the eye area, where many products are too harsh.

Skincare actives that nourish and protect

The balm is enriched with skin-loving actives. Jojoba esters and plant-based squalane condition and soften; bisabolol, a chamomile-derived agent, soothes; Lipochroman, a powerful antioxidant, helps defend against free radicals; and Physavie supports the defence against infrared and environmental stress. Together they make Color Balm a colour product that treats the skin as it protects and tints.

Buildable, layerable colour

The colour is sheer and buildable: a single pass gives a soft, natural tint, and you can layer for a more defined, fuller finish. Applied with the fingertips, the balm warms and blends easily into the skin, so you control exactly how much colour and coverage you want, from a barely-there wash to a richer shade.

A clean, thoughtfully formulated balm

Color Balm is dermatologist and ophthalmologist tested, hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic, and it is free of parabens, sulfates, phthalates, oil, gluten and added fragrance. Please note that some shades contain carmine (CI 75470, of animal origin) as a colourant, so not all shades are suitable for a vegan routine - if this matters to you, check the INCI list of the specific shade on the packaging.

How to use

Apply directly to the lips, cheeks or eyes and blend with the fingertips, warming the balm slightly for an even application. Layer as desired for fuller colour. Use as a final touch of protection and colour in your routine, and, like any sunscreen, reapply at least every two hours and after eating, drinking, swimming or sweating - which also refreshes the SPF on the lips and eye area.
