Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield Classic SPF 50
Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield Classic SPF 50 is a lightweight mineral sunscreen built around proprietary EnviroScreen technology to defend skin against more than just UV rays. With zinc oxide as the sole active filter, this broad-spectrum SPF 50 formula also helps shield against high-energy visible (blue) light from screens, airborne pollution, and infrared radiation, giving your skin a full spectrum of environmental defense. A light tint from iron oxides blends sheer and leaves a dewy, natural finish that works well under makeup or on its own for a bare-faced look.
Key Benefits
Full-Spectrum Environmental Defense EnviroScreen technology pairs 12% zinc oxide with targeted antioxidants to protect against UVA/UVB, blue light, pollution, and infrared radiation in a single step.
Antioxidant-Rich Skin Support Niacinamide, sunflower sprout extract, and dimethylmethoxy chromanol work together to neutralize free radicals and help reduce the visible effects of environmental stress on skin.
Soothing, Comfortable Hydration Bisabolol, allantoin, and tremella fuciformis (silver ear mushroom) extract calm and hydrate skin so the formula wears comfortably all day without dryness or tightness.
Sheer, Dewy Finish A light tint from iron oxides evens out skin tone while blending in seamlessly, delivering a natural, dewy look that suits a wide range of skin tones.
Oil-Free and Sweat-Resistant The oil-free formula resists water and sweat for up to 40 minutes, making it reliable for active days without feeling heavy or greasy.
If you want a mineral sunscreen that goes beyond UV protection and also addresses blue light, pollution, and infrared exposure, this face shield is built for exactly that. It works especially well for anyone who spends extended time in front of screens or in urban environments where environmental stressors accumulate throughout the day.
Ideal for normal, dry, combination, or sensitive skin types looking for an oil-free, zinc oxide-based SPF that feels hydrating rather than chalky. If you prefer a bare-faced, dewy finish with just enough tint to even out your complexion, this formula delivers without looking or feeling like traditional sunscreen.
All Colorescience Face Shield shades can be mixed together, so try blending this Classic formula with the Glow version for a luminous, sun-protected finish that still looks completely natural.
Prepare: Shake the tube well before each use. Apply as the final step in your morning skincare routine, after cleansing, toning, and moisturizing.
Apply: Dispense a generous amount onto your fingertips and smooth evenly across the face, neck, and any other exposed areas.
Frequency: Reapply every 2 hours, or immediately after heavy sweating, swimming, or towel drying.
- Zinc Oxide: A natural mineral that provides physical sun protection against UVA and UVB rays, while absorbing oils and offering additional skin-soothing properties.
- Infraguard: A proprietary ingredient blend combining the powerful antioxidant tara tannins with organic sunflower sprouts to protect the skin against the aging effects of infrared radiation.
- 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.

- Snow/Silver Ear Mushroom Extract (Tremella Fuciformis): This super hydrator holds up to 500 times its weight in water and penetrates even more effectively than hyaluronic acid. Provides powerful plant-based hydration with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties.
- Niacinamide: A multitasking form of vitamin B3 that helps balance oil, strengthen the skin barrier, and improve uneven tone and texture while calming redness for healthier looking skin.
- Vitamin E (Tocopherol): Soothes, brightens, and helps reverse and protect against environmental damage.

What type of sunscreen filter does Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield Classic SPF 50 use?
It uses 12% zinc oxide as its only active sunscreen ingredient, making it a 100% mineral (physical) sunscreen. Zinc oxide sits on the skin's surface and deflects UV rays rather than absorbing them, which is why mineral formulas are often preferred for sensitive or reactive skin.
What is EnviroScreen technology in Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield Classic SPF 50?
EnviroScreen is Colorescience's proprietary blend of antioxidants and mineral filters designed to protect skin from more than just UV. It helps defend against high-energy visible (blue) light from devices, airborne pollution, and infrared radiation, addressing the full range of daily environmental stressors.
Will Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield Classic SPF 50 leave a white cast?
The formula is lightly tinted with iron oxides, which helps it blend sheer without leaving the white cast that some mineral sunscreens produce. The tint is subtle enough to adapt across a range of skin tones while providing a natural, dewy finish.
Is Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield Classic SPF 50 good for acne-prone skin?
Yes. The formula is oil-free and contains niacinamide, which helps support a balanced complexion and calm visible redness. Zinc oxide itself is known for being well-tolerated by breakout-prone skin. It also includes soothing ingredients like bisabolol and allantoin, so it is unlikely to cause irritation.
Does Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield Classic SPF 50 protect against blue light?
It does. The EnviroScreen technology is specifically formulated to help shield skin from high-energy visible (blue) light emitted by phones, tablets, and computer screens. Iron oxides in the tint also contribute to visible light defense, which untinted mineral sunscreens often lack.
Can I wear makeup over Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield Classic SPF 50?
Absolutely. The formula dries to a smooth, dewy finish that layers well under foundation, powder, or any Colorescience mineral powder sunscreen for added protection. Its lightweight texture means it will not pill or interfere with makeup application.
How long is Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield Classic SPF 50 water-resistant?
It is water and sweat-resistant for up to 40 minutes. After swimming, heavy sweating, or towel drying, reapply immediately to maintain full protection. On less active days, reapply every 2 hours for consistent coverage.

I love this sunscreen. It runs in smoothly onto my face and makes my skin look more moisturized. (I also use a moisturizer before applying this sunscreen.) It feels light on my skin. It has a tiny tint to it, but it’s not real noticeable. It stays nice and smooth on my skin throughout the entire day. (It doesn’t ever get caked into my fine lines like other tinted sunscreens do.)
