Finding a sunscreen that works for you and your skincare can be tricky, especially when it is to be used on your face. I am not a fan of products which are thick, take a long time to absorb and then leaves either a white cast or a greasy film on the skin. Dr Brandt Liquid Sun Shield Daily Sunscreen SPF50 is a lightweight 100% mineral sunscreen with broad-spectrum UVA/UVB SPF50, HEV/Blue Light, infrared and pollution protection.
This sunscreen is unlike many I have used, firstly it comes in a glass bottle and its dispenser is a pipette and it is just a delight to use. Formulated for all skin types, this sunscreen is non-comedogenic, hypoallergenic and has been tested on sensitive skin and it is also reef-safe and vegan.
Described by many as 'damage control in a bottle' and this Sunscreen uses a few key ingredients
- Non-nano zinc oxide which is a 100% mineral filter, more effective UV filter than titanium dioxide, provides broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection. Safe & suitable for all skin types, even sensitive.
- Ecotin with extremolyte technology. This is 100% natural, protects against UVA/UVB, HEV/blue light and infrared radiation and pollution.
- Plankton Extract - evens the skin tone and reduces skin age spots
- Clary Sage Ferment - Brightens and Soothes
- Vitamin E - Powerful Antioxidant which protects the skin against free radicals
On the skin, the texture of this Dr Brandt Liquid Sun Shield is really lightweight and is more of an emulsion-like texture which glides easily on to my skin. You need to shake the bottle really well before using and ive found that I need at least two pipettes to cover my face, neck and chest. Once it has been massaged into the skin, it leaves my skin looking smooth and there is a real subtle dewy glow and NO white cast, I am delighted to share!
This is a fantastic mineral sunscreen which does provide effective broad-spectrum sun protection without any white cast or greasiness on the skin. I like that the formula is really hydrating without feeling heavy and I have really enjoyed using it.
