The hard part of sunscreen is not putting it on in the morning - it is reapplying at 1 p.m., over makeup. That is the gap Colorescience is built to close: 100% mineral protection in formats you will actually reapply.
Colorescience is a mineral-only line. Every SPF uses zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide - physical filters that sit on the surface, start working right away, and tend to suit sensitive or post-procedure skin. Most are tinted with iron-oxide pigments, so instead of a white cast you get a finish that blends into your skin.

Shop ColorescienceA quick word on reapplying
Most people apply less sunscreen than it is tested with, so reapply about every two hours of sun exposure - and sooner after swimming or sweating. A morning Face Shield or No-Show lotion lays down the base; keep a Brush-On Shield in your bag for the mid-day top-ups over makeup.
Questions, answered
Does Colorescience leave a white cast?
Most are tinted and come in shades that blend into a range of skin tones. For zero tint, choose No-Show Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50.
Can I really reapply over makeup?
Yes - that is what the Brush-On Shield is for. The self-dispensing brush lets you sweep mineral SPF over makeup without disturbing it.
Is it good for sensitive or post-procedure skin?
It is a 100% mineral, chemical-filter-free line, which many sensitive and post-treatment routines prefer. Check with your skin professional for your situation.
Do you ship across Canada?
Yes. Orders over $100 ship free within Canada, and every order includes samples.
