Physical UV Defense SPF 30
Optimal for sensitive or traumatized skin and safe for children, Physical UV Defense is a true broad-spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen perfect for daily use.

This cosmetically elegant, all-physical sunscreen contains 5% transparent zinc oxide and 10% titanium dioxide, two non-irritating active ingredients ideal for use on all skin types.

Breakthrough dispersion technology minimizes the “whitening” Effect commonly found in other all-physical sunscreens by equally distributing reduced sunscreen particles.

Great for active lifestyle
Date:December 11, 2011
Used this product for a year, then switched to another sunscreen with Skinceuticals. Prefer this sunscreen for outdoor activities and sports as the other stung my eyes when mixed with sweat. I've gone back to this product and am pleased as punch Rub it in well as the titanium dioxide does leave a white color.

It's a good product, but...
Date:July 21, 2011
This is a very nice, thick lotion that doesn't seem too greasy, but the color of Physical UV Defense SPF 30 doesn't match my skin tone. t.t

Love it!
Date:July 8, 2011
This product was recommended to me, and I have been using it for about 4 years. I love the fact that it provides non-chemical protection that works for both UVA and UVB. I wear it every single day, and it actually gives a nice smooth base for my foundation. I haven't had a burn on my face in years, even though I spend a lot of time outdoors in the summer--I just have to reapply it every 2 hours when I'm in the sun, as directed. I also like the tube itself, which gets smaller as it empties (like a tube of toothpaste), so it fits easily into my purse. Thanks for making such a great product.
