ALASTIN SilkSHIELD Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 is a lightweight, transparent mineral sunscreen that goes beyond basic UV protection by incorporating ALASTIN's exclusive peptide technology for visible anti-aging benefits that continue working long after you come inside. Powered by 19.95% zinc oxide, this broad-spectrum formula shields skin from UVA/UVB rays, infrared radiation, pollution, and blue light while absorbing quickly with a silky, sheer finish. It is fragrance-free and oil-free.
Broad-Spectrum Environmental Defense: Zinc oxide at 19.95% delivers physical protection against UVA, UVB, infrared rays, blue light, and environmental pollution, covering the full range of daily aggressors that contribute to premature aging.
Anti-Aging Peptide Support: Palmitoyl tripeptide-1 and palmitoyl hexapeptide-12 help support skin's natural repair process, so your sunscreen actively works to improve skin quality rather than just sitting on the surface.
Barrier-Strengthening Antioxidants: Ectoin and dunaliella salina extract reinforce skin's resilience against environmental stress, while tocopherol (vitamin E) neutralizes free radicals before they can cause visible damage.
Transparent, Weightless Wear: A silicone-based vehicle with squalane lets this formula blend in sheer with no white cast, and in clinical evaluation, 97% of participants agreed it rubs in sheer and feels silky smooth on skin.
Sensitive Skin Compatible: Non-comedogenic, hypoallergenic, vegan, and free of fragrance and oil, making it safe for post-procedure skin and reactive complexions alike.
-
If you want a mineral sunscreen that actually feels elegant on skin instead of chalky or heavy, this formula was designed for you. It is especially well-suited for sensitive, reactive, or post-treatment skin that cannot tolerate chemical UV filters, fragrance, or oil.
Ideal for anyone who wants their daily SPF to do more than just block UV. The built-in peptide complex and antioxidant blend make this a strong choice if visible signs of aging are a concern alongside sun protection. If you prefer a no-tint, transparent finish that layers seamlessly under makeup or other skincare, SilkSHIELD delivers without disrupting your routine.
-
Use SilkSHIELD as your dedicated SPF on days when your skin is freshly treated, recently exfoliated, or simply feeling reactive. The peptide and antioxidant complex means you are not just protecting but actively reinforcing your skin barrier during its most vulnerable moments, which helps your other actives perform better long-term.
-
Apply: Smooth generously over face and neck 15 minutes before sun exposure. Can be worn alone or layered under makeup.
Reapply: Reapply at least every 2 hours, or immediately after 40 minutes of swimming or sweating, and after towel drying.

Does ALASTIN SilkSHIELD Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 leave a white cast?
No. Despite using 19.95% zinc oxide, the formula is engineered to blend in sheer and transparent. In a clinical study of 29 participants, 97% agreed that SilkSHIELD rubs in sheer after application.
Can I use ALASTIN SilkSHIELD Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 after a chemical peel or laser treatment?
Yes. This sunscreen is specifically formulated for use on sensitive and post-cosmetic treatment skin. It is non-comedogenic, hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, and oil-free, which minimizes the risk of irritation on compromised skin. Always follow your provider's specific aftercare instructions regarding timing.
What makes ALASTIN SilkSHIELD Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 different from a regular mineral sunscreen?
Most mineral sunscreens stop at UV protection. SilkSHIELD includes ALASTIN's proprietary peptide blend with palmitoyl tripeptide-1 and palmitoyl hexapeptide-12, along with antioxidants like ectoin and dunaliella salina extract. These actives support skin health and target visible signs of aging, so the formula works beyond just shielding from the sun.
Is ALASTIN SilkSHIELD Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 suitable for oily or acne-prone skin?
Yes. The formula is oil-free, non-comedogenic, and built on a lightweight silicone base that absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue. It will not clog pores or contribute to breakouts.
Does ALASTIN SilkSHIELD Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 protect against blue light?
Yes. In addition to broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection, SilkSHIELD also defends against blue light (HEV light) from screens and devices, infrared radiation, and environmental pollution. This comprehensive coverage helps prevent the cumulative damage that accelerates visible aging.
How does ALASTIN SilkSHIELD Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 compare to ALASTIN HydraTint Pro Mineral Sunscreen?
SilkSHIELD has a lightweight, silky texture with a transparent, no-tint finish, making it ideal if you prefer a completely invisible sunscreen. HydraTint Pro Mineral Sunscreen is more hydrating with a buttery feel and a soft-glow tinted finish. Both are mineral-based, but they serve different texture and coverage preferences.
Is ALASTIN SilkSHIELD Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 vegan?
Yes. ALASTIN SilkSHIELD Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 is vegan and formulated without fragrance, oil, or common irritants. It is also hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic.
