Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Brush-On Shield Bronze SPF 50 4.3g

Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Brush-On Shield Bronze SPF 50 is a 100% mineral, brush-on powder sunscreen with a warm, sun-kissed bronze finish, delivering SPF 50 and PA++++ and EnviroScreen technology against UVA/UVB, pollution, blue light and infrared - a bronzer and a sunscreen in one effortless sweep

Brush-On Shield Bronze SPF 50 is the bronzing version of Colorescience's iconic Sunforgettable Total Protection Brush-On Shield. It is a 100% mineral powder sunscreen in a self-dispensing brush that delivers SPF 50 broad-spectrum protection (PA++++) and the brand's EnviroScreen technology against UVA/UVB rays, pollution, blue light (HEV) and infrared radiation - and finishes with a radiant, sun-kissed bronze sheen that warms the complexion. It makes it effortless to reapply protection over make-up while adding a healthy, just-back-from-the-beach glow.

A sun-kissed bronze finish

What sets Bronze apart from the rest of the Brush-On Shield range is its warm, bronzing tint. Where the classic shades give a natural, skin-like veil and Glow adds a pearlescent sheen, Bronze delivers a radiant, sun-kissed warmth - the look of a light tan, without any sun exposure. It is the way to look bronzed while actually shielding the skin from the very rays that would tan it.

A bronzer and a sunscreen in one

Bronze does the job of two products in a single step. Sweep it all over the face for an even, warm glow, or dust it onto the high points - cheekbones, temples, jawline and the bridge of the nose - as a protective bronzer that sculpts and warms. Either way, every pass also tops up sun protection, so the finish never comes at the cost of defence.

100% mineral SPF 50 protection

The formula is a fully mineral (physical) sunscreen, built on Titanium Dioxide 22.5% and Zinc Oxide 22.5% - 45% total active mineral filters. These filters sit on the surface of the skin and reflect and scatter UV light, providing broad-spectrum SPF 50 and PA++++ protection against both UVB (burning) and UVA (ageing) rays. With no chemical UV filters, it is a comfortable choice for those who prefer a mineral formula or have sensitive, reactive skin.

EnviroScreen technology - beyond UV

EnviroScreen technology is Colorescience's protective complex that defends the skin against a broader range of environmental aggressors. Beyond UVA and UVB rays, it helps protect against pollution, blue light (High Energy Visible light) and infrared radiation - the everyday exposure that contributes to premature ageing. It pairs sun defence with an antioxidant shield in a single, easy step.

Mineral pigments for a natural warmth

The bronze tone comes from mineral pigments - iron oxides and chromium oxide greens - rather than from any dye or self-tanning agent. There is no DHA and no colour transfer with time: the shade you sweep on is the shade you wear, and it washes off cleanly at the end of the day.

Sheer and buildable

The powder applies sheer and builds gradually, so the warmth can be dialled from a barely-there flush to a deeper, sun-kissed bronze. Because it is applied in light layers rather than a single opaque pass, it blends naturally across a range of skin tones without looking muddy or mask-like.

Antioxidant defence

The formula is enriched with an antioxidant blend, including green tea, grape seed, oak wood and club moss extracts, which help neutralise the free radicals generated by UV and environmental stress. This antioxidant support works alongside the mineral filters to help defend the skin against the visible signs of photo-ageing.

Hydration built in

Unlike many powders that can look dry or dusty, Bronze contains sodium hyaluronate (hyaluronic acid) and glycerin, which help the skin hold on to moisture. The result is a powder that sits comfortably and keeps the complexion looking radiant rather than flat.

Reapply protection over make-up

Because it is a self-dispensing powder brush, Bronze solves the biggest problem in daily sun care: reapplication. A quick sweep tops up SPF over make-up, throughout the day - no rubbing, no mess and nothing to smudge what is underneath. It slips easily into a bag or pocket for protection on the go.

A clean, vegan formula

Brush-On Shield Bronze is a vegan formula and carries the Skin Cancer Foundation's Seal of Recommendation for active use. It is water and sweat resistant for up to 80 minutes, making it dependable for warm days, holidays and active routines when reapplication matters most. The compact 4.3 g brush offers around a 60-day supply.

How to use

Tap the closed brush 3-5 times with the cap facing down to load the bristles, then flick the brush to check the powder flows. Apply to clean, moisturised skin or over make-up using light circular motions for at least 60 seconds, passing over each area several times for even coverage. Apply before sun exposure and reapply every 2 hours, or more often after swimming, sweating or towel drying.
