Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Body Shield SPF 50 — 4 fl oz mineral, water‑resistant broad‑spectrum sunscreen

Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Body Shield SPF 50 is an invisible, 100% mineral body sunscreen formulated with 12% zinc oxide and EnviroScreen Technology to protect skin from UVA/UVB, pollution, blue light and infrared radiation.

Lightweight and neutral in tone, this body sunscreen blends without leaving a white cast while delivering broad-spectrum defense. The formula is all-mineral, water-resistant for up to 80 minutes, and designed to sit comfortably on body skin without clogging pores or feeling greasy. Shake well before use and apply evenly about 15 minutes before sun or environmental exposure; reapply at least every two hours or after heavy sweating, towel drying, or water contact.

How does this sunscreen protect against everyday environmental stressors?

The product uses a mineral active, zinc oxide 12%, combined with Colorescience’s EnviroScreen Technology to reflect and neutralize multiple types of external aggressors. That means it’s formulated to shield against ultraviolet rays as well as airborne pollution, high-energy visible (HEV) light and infrared radiation that can reach the skin.

• Broad-spectrum UV protection with SPF 50 and PA+++ for strong UVA/UVB coverage
• Mineral-based 12% zinc oxide active ingredient for physical sun defense
• Patented EnviroScreen Technology aimed at pollution, blue light, and IR defense
• Neutral, universal tint that blends into a wide range of skin tones

Is this formula suitable for active days, pool time, or humid weather?

Yes — the Body Shield is water- and sweat-resistant for up to 80 minutes, making it appropriate for outdoor workouts, beach days, or humid conditions. It’s also oil-free and designed not to clog pores, so it sits well under clothing or on exposed body areas during movement.

• 80-minute water resistance for activities involving swimming or heavy perspiration
• Non-greasy, quick-blend texture for comfortable all-day wear
• Hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic for body skin prone to congestion
• Neutral shade minimizes visible residue on diverse skin tones

How should I apply and maintain protection while using this sunscreen?

For best results, shake the bottle well and apply liberally 15 minutes before exposure to sun or environmental stressors. Reapply at minimum every two hours and anytime after swimming, heavy sweating, or towel drying to maintain effective coverage.

• Apply evenly and liberally across all exposed body areas 15 minutes prior to exposure
• Reapply every two hours or after water exposure, sweating, or toweling
• Use enough product to ensure full coverage — don’t rely on a thin layer
• Store upright and avoid extreme heat to preserve formula performance

What is in the formula and what is left out?

The active ingredient is zinc oxide (12%), offering physical sun protection. The base includes emollients, dimethicone derivatives, and antioxidants to help the texture and stability, while Colorescience omits parabens, phthalates, synthetic fragrance, talc, dyes, drying alcohols and chemical sunscreen actives.

• Active: Zinc Oxide 12% (100% mineral protection)
• Supports skin feel with dimethicone, shea-derived esters, and silica polymers
