SkinCeuticals Sheer Mineral UV Defense SPF 50

SkinCeuticals Sheer Mineral UV Defense SPF 50 offers breakthrough formulation technology in mineral sunscreens: a first-to-market transparent, mattifying, paraben-free SPF 50 fluid. Employing all-mineral broad-spectrum filters, SkinCeuticals fills a void in the sunscreen market by providing high UVA and UVB protection in a lightweight, ultra-sheer texture for all skin types, even very sensitive. The photoprotection of trusted broad-spectrum mineral filters is enhanced by Artemia Salina, a plankton extract that increases the skin’s defenses to heat and UV stress. This silky sheer fluid spreads evenly and dries quickly, leaving skin bare and soothed.

Key Ingredients
100% Mineral Filters

• Form a protective barrier over the skin
• Non-chemical UV protection for compromised skin
• Defends against UVA and UVB radiation

Artemia Salina (plankton extract)*

• Increases skin defenses and resistance to UV and heat stress
• Induces Heat Shock Protein 70 (HSP 70) to protect skin proteins, including collagen, against UV damage

Note: A sunscreen applied at 2 mg per cm2 of skin only blocks 55% of the free radicals that are generated by UV radiation and result in skin damage and premature aging (Haywood et al 2006. J Invest Dermatol 121:862-868). For optimal protection, daily use of an antioxidant serum such as C E Ferulic or Phloretin CF in conjunction with a sunscreen is essential.
