How should I use the Everyday Coverage Tinted Sunscreen?

We believe that daily sunscreen is an imperative step in delaying aging, promoting long-term skin health, and preventing skin cancer. Our zinc oxide-only formulation is key because it excludes dangerous mineral and chemical agents like titanium dioxide and avobenzone—present in the majority of chemical sunscreens—that break down in the presence of UV and generate their own free radicals. Zinc oxide is the only safe and completely natural sunscreen agent that provides double protection against premature aging; it reflects UV, HEV, and infrared radiation that damages cells via free radical generation. Not only that—it is a known anti-inflammatory and can help those battling inflammatory conditions like acne or rosacea.

Our Everyday Coverage Sunscreen has a very high mineral content between the zinc oxide and the iron oxides which make up the color in the product. The formulation does not contain any moisturizing ingredients and has a very matte finish which is why we always suggest using oil underneath to help the sunscreen soften and apply evenly. It's important to let the oil be slightly damp on the skin when applying the sunscreen on top. It helps to shake the bottle well and pump a maximum of two pumps at the fingertips and warm between. You then want to start applying from the middle of the face in an even fluid movement just until it's even over the skin. It's best to not manipulate the sunscreen too much as it starts to dry more on the skin or "pat" it too much so it doesn't lift.

Comes in 3 tints. Recommended for all skin types, including sensitive and compromised skins. See tints here.

  • Extra light: Porcelain & very light skin with golden or neutral undertones
  • Light: Light skin with pink or rosy undertones
  • Medium: Medium or beige skin with neutral undertones

Apply liberally to face/neck/chest 15 minutes before sun exposure, applying Protective Day Oil prior is highly recommended. Reapply at least every 2 hours. Use a water-resistant sunscreen if swimming or sweating. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a physician. For children under 6 months of age, consult a physician. Keep in a cool, dry place, out of direct light. Use within 6 months of opening.
