Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Color Balm SPF 50

Learn More

Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Color Balm SPF 50 is a tinted mineral SPF balm stick that delivers broad-spectrum SPF 50 sun protection with a wash of buildable color for your cheeks, lips, or eyelids. Powered by Colorescience's proprietary EnviroScreen® Technology, this multitasking balm goes beyond UV defense to shield skin from pollution, blue light, and infrared radiation, all while conditioning with squalane and jojoba esters. Available in seven shades, it simplifies sun protection by turning it into a color step you actually look forward to.

Broad-Spectrum Mineral SPF 50: 12.5% zinc oxide provides pure physical UVA/UVB protection without chemical UV filters, sitting on top of skin to reflect damaging rays rather than absorb them.

Environmental Defense with EnviroScreen® Technology: Goes beyond sunscreen by forming a barrier against pollution, high-energy visible (blue) light, and infrared radiation, helping prevent premature signs of aging triggered by everyday environmental exposure.

Hydrating, Skin-Conditioning Base: Squalane and jojoba esters soften and condition delicate lip, cheek, and eyelid skin, so the balm feels nourishing rather than heavy or drying.

Antioxidant Support: Tocopherol, tocopheryl acetate, bisabolol, and dimethylmethoxy chromanol help neutralize free radicals generated by UV and pollution, reinforcing the protective benefits of the mineral SPF.

Water-Resistant and Buildable: Stays in place for up to 40 minutes of water exposure, and the stick format lets you tap on a sheer tint or layer for richer color payoff.

Key Ingredients

Zinc Oxide: A natural mineral that provides physical sun protection against UVA and UVB rays, while absorbing oils and offering additional skin-soothing properties.
Iron Oxides: Micronized pigments that are commonly used as cosmetic colorants, while also protecting the skin from blue (HEV) light damage and photoaging.
Lipochroman®: An advanced triple antioxidant that provides superior protection from all three types of free radicals to offer the ultimate support against the signs of aging.
Physavie®: A powerful, protective plant extract with anti-inflammatory properties to soothe and calm skin while helping to protect against the effects of infrared radiation.
Squalane: Keeps skin hydrated and balances oil production by mimicking the skin’s acid mantle while also reducing inflammation, soothing skin irritation, and improving elasticity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of sunscreen is in Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Color Balm SPF 50?

The active ingredient is 12.5% zinc oxide, a mineral (physical) sunscreen. Zinc oxide sits on the skin's surface and reflects UV rays rather than absorbing them, making it a preferred choice for sensitive and reactive skin types.

Can I use Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Color Balm SPF 50 around my eyes?

Yes. This balm has been ophthalmology and safety tested for use around the eye area, including for contact lens wearers and those with sensitive eyes. Apply it to the eyelids just as you would to cheeks or lips.

What does EnviroScreen® Technology in Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Color Balm SPF 50 protect against?

EnviroScreen® Technology provides protection beyond traditional UV filters. In addition to broad-spectrum UVA/UVB defense, it helps shield skin from pollution, blue light (high-energy visible light from screens and the sun), and infrared radiation. These environmental stressors can contribute to premature aging and uneven skin tone.

Is Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Color Balm SPF 50 water-resistant?

Yes, it is water-resistant for up to 40 minutes. After swimming, sweating, or towel-drying, reapply to maintain both color and sun protection.

Can I mix shades of Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Color Balm SPF 50?

Absolutely. The six shades can be blended together on the skin to create a custom color that suits your complexion or mood. Layering a warm shade like Golden Hour with a cooler tone like Violet Haze, for example, gives you a unique finish while maintaining full SPF 50 coverage.

How does Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Color Balm SPF 50 feel on the skin?

The formula is lightweight and conditioning thanks to squalane and jojoba esters. It does not feel heavy, waxy, or greasy, and it layers smoothly over bare skin or existing makeup without pilling.

Does Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Color Balm SPF 50 contain any chemical UV filters?

No. The only sunscreen active is zinc oxide, a 100% mineral filter. There are no chemical UV absorbers like avobenzone or oxybenzone in the formula, which makes it a good option for sensitive or easily irritated skin.
