Eau Thermale Avène Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50+ Tinted Face Fluid — 100% Mineral, Fragrance-Free

Avène Mineral Sunscreen Multi-Defense Fluid SPF 50+ is a lightweight, tinted 100% mineral face sunscreen that offers broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection while calming sensitive skin.

This fluid sunscreen combines a mineral filter system with antioxidant-rich actives in a non-greasy, fragrance-free emulsion designed for everyday facial use. The formula is tinted to reduce white cast and blend easily on a range of skin tones, offers water resistance, and is intended to defend skin from UV rays, pollution and blue light while helping to improve visible redness and tone.

How does this mineral sunscreen protect skin from sun and environmental stress?

The product uses 100% mineral filters to block UVA and UVB radiation at SPF 50+ and includes antioxidant ingredients that help neutralize free radicals from pollution and blue light exposure. It provides a multi-defense barrier without chemical filters like oxybenzone or octinoxate.

• Broad-spectrum SPF 50+ protection with only mineral filters
• Antioxidant boost (up to 200%) to reduce oxidative stress
• Water-resistant for protection during light activity and swimming
• Formulated without oxybenzone and octinoxate

Will this leave a white cast on my skin and how does the tint perform?

The fluid is tinted to minimize the traditional white residue of mineral sunscreens, making it more natural-looking on many skin tones. The lightweight emulsion spreads thinly to avoid heavy coverage while helping even visible redness and improving overall tone.

• Tinted finish reduces white cast compared with classic mineral pastes
• Sheer coverage that blends into the skin for a natural look
• Helps even out redness thanks to niacinamide
• Suitable for layering under makeup or worn alone

Is this sunscreen suitable for sensitive or reactive skin?

This fragrance-free formulation is designed and tested for sensitive skin and includes Avène Thermal Spring Water to calm irritation. Key soothing and hydrating ingredients like niacinamide and plant-derived squalane support barrier comfort while avoiding common chemical sunscreen actives.

• Fragrance-free and tested on sensitive skin
• Contains Avène Thermal Spring Water to soothe
• Niacinamide for calming and tone improvement
• Squalane to hydrate without heaviness

How and when should I apply this tinted mineral fluid?

Apply evenly to face and neck 15 minutes before sun exposure, and reapply every two hours or after swimming, towel-drying, or heavy sweating. Because it’s a facial mineral formula with a tint, it works well as the final step in morning skincare or under makeup.

• Use 15 minutes before sun exposure for best protection
• Reapply every 2 hours and after swimming or sweating
• Apply to face and neck; blend thoroughly to avoid streaking
• Works under makeup or worn alone as a protective, tinted base

Who is this for: This Avène Mineral Sunscreen Multi-Defense Fluid is aimed at anyone seeking a fragrance-free, mineral-based daily face sunscreen—especially those with sensitive, redness-prone, or reactive skin who prefer a tinted, non-greasy finish. It's also a good choice for people wanting broad environmental protection (UV, pollution, blue light) in a lightweight texture that layers well beneath cosmetics. Note: follow label instructions for reapplication and consult a dermatologist if you have specific skin concerns.
