Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield Classic SPF 50 55ml

Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield Classic SPF 50 is a 100% mineral, tinted face sunscreen with a universal neutral tint and a dewy, natural finish, delivering SPF 50 and PA++++ and EnviroScreen technology against UVA/UVB, pollution, blue light and infrared - blending sun protection with skincare and a sheer wash of colour

Face Shield Classic SPF 50 is the original tinted version of Colorescience's iconic Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield. This 100% mineral (physical) sunscreen delivers SPF 50 broad-spectrum protection (PA++++) and the brand's EnviroScreen technology against UVA/UVB rays, pollution, blue light (HEV) and infrared radiation - while a universal, sheer tint evens the complexion and a dewy, hydrating finish leaves the skin looking fresh and healthy. It works as a sunscreen, a skin-perfecting tint and a smoothing primer in one step.

The original tinted Face Shield

What defines Classic is its dewy, radiant finish and universal neutral tint. Where the Matte and Flex versions target specific needs, Classic gives a luminous, hydrated look with a soft veil of colour that suits most skin tones. It is the original, best-loved Face Shield - a daily hybrid of sun care and light coverage.

100% mineral SPF 50 protection

The formula is a fully mineral (physical) sunscreen, built on Zinc Oxide 12%. This mineral filter sits on the surface of the skin and reflects and scatters 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 combines sun defence with an antioxidant shield in a single, easy step.

A universal, sheer tint

The universal neutral tint is designed to blend sheer on most skin tones, evening out redness and dullness for a naturally uniform complexion. It gives a my-skin-but-better look - enough colour to perfect, never so much that it reads as makeup - and layers beautifully on its own or under foundation.

Iron oxides for blue light defence

The tint comes from mineral iron oxides, which do more than add colour: they help shield the skin from blue light (HEV) emitted by screens and the sun. Together with the mineral SPF and EnviroScreen complex, they extend protection beyond UV to the light sources of modern daily life.

Skincare built in

Classic is formulated like a treatment. Niacinamide helps improve the look of tone and texture, Silver Ear Mushroom (Tremella) extract delivers deep, cushiony hydration, and Bisabolol and Allantoin help calm and soothe the skin. The result is a sunscreen that also nourishes and comforts with every use.

Antioxidant protection

Antioxidants including Vital ET and Tocopherol (Vitamin E) 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.

Dewy, hydrating finish

The lightweight, lotion-like texture glides on and settles into a dewy, luminous finish that keeps the skin looking hydrated rather than flat. It doubles as a smoothing primer, creating an even base that helps makeup sit and last - ideal for normal, dry and combination skin.

A clean, vegan formula

Face Shield Classic is vegan and carries the Skin Cancer Foundation's Seal of Recommendation as a broad-spectrum sunscreen. It is water-resistant for up to 40 minutes, making it dependable for warm days and active routines when reapplication matters most.

How to use

Shake well before use. Apply a nickel-sized amount evenly to the face, neck and décolletage about 15 minutes before sun exposure, as the last step of your morning skincare or the first step of your makeup. Reapply every 2 hours, or more often after swimming, sweating or towel drying.
