How To Use
Shake well before use. Apply sunscreen liberally to the face, neck, and chest 15 minutes before sun exposure and before applying makeup. Reapply sunscreen after 40 minutes of swimming, sweating, immediately after towel drying, and at least every two hours. For children under six months of age, consult a physician before use.
Sun Protection Measures: Spending time in the sun increases your risk of skin cancer and early skin aging. To decrease this risk, regularly use a sunscreen with a Broad-Spectrum SPF value of 15 or higher and other sun protection measures including:
- Limit time in the sun, from 10 am - 2 pm
- Wear long-sleeved shirts, pants, hats, and sunglasses
- For children under six months of age, consult a physician before use

Science & Proof
This breathable, tinted sunscreen is formulated with transparent titanium oxide and zinc oxide (Z-Cote®), the only mineral UV filter shown to protect against the full UVA/UVB spectrum along with translucent color spheres and artemia salina to impart powerful UV protection with a natural radiance. A “shake then apply” dispersal technology helps ensure even distribution of sunscreen ingredients.
Key Ingredients
- 5% Zinc oxide (Z-Cote®)
- 6% Titanium dioxide
- Artemia salina
- Translucent color spheres
This microfine zinc oxide is a mineral filter that reflects sun rays to provide broad spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays. The particle size and distribution characteristics spread evenly and provide a non-whitening effect on skin.

Physician Insight
I love Physical Fusion because it is so easy to apply and does not clog up the skin or feel and look too heavy. The tint also gives it a nice smoothing effect on the skin. It is so easy to apply, and so effective in protecting the skin from sun damage, that I also use it daily on my three children.

Incredible!
I am a fair skinned redhead and constantly on the hunt for the best mineral sunscreen. I gave this a try after seeing a friend use it who is also fair and it is love!! It’s very lightweight and silky and blends very well. I was very concerned about the tint at first because many still show up on my skin or oxidize orange and no one wants to look like a Cheeto puff! I have tried nearly all high end and most drugstore mineral sunscreens and so far this beats them all.

Perfect 2-in-1 sunscreen & skin tint
I've been looking for my holy grail sunscreen for a very long time; I am a fan of physical sunscreens as they are better for the environment and my body but many of them can be chalky or unpleasant on the skin, especially for all-day wear. This sunscreen feels very nice on the skin and the tint provides nice everyday coverage for my light-medium skin. I hope they never discontinue this wonderful product!

LOVE!!
This was the first Skinceuticals product I bought and I'm so happy with my purchase! I'll definitely be trying out more of their products. I've been using the sunblock for a week now and there hasn't been a single breakout for me which is amazing as other sunblocks I've tried ended up in breakouts. It has a nice matte finish, doesn't make my skin feel greasy and feels lightweight on the skin.

My favorite sunscreen ever
After reading some rave reviews of this product, I decided to try it, and am I ever glad I did. It is so light and comfortable to wear, invisible, and a high SPF. I will never buy any other kind of sunscreen again. Oh, and I also love that it is ocean safe.

Bring back ULTIMATE UV DEFENSE SPF 30
So sad...bought this on customer service recommendation to replace ULTIMATE UV DEFENSE 30 and it's not even close. It's a thinner formulation and after short time white rolls of product show up on skin....same thing happened to my husband. Not sure why skincueticals would get rid of a best seller? Please please please bring ULTIMATE UV DEFENSE 30 back!!

Love product, problem with service & expiration
Bought this product online- have used it several years. However- the bottle that I received expires in 4 months. I expected to receive a product that had at least a year of use. I called and the rep said there was nothing Skinceuticals could do. Disappointed with customer service. I have been a loyal client for 7-8 years. I buy product online and from my esthetician. Never have I had this issue.
