  • Water resistant for up to 40 minutes
  • Boosts radiance for a more even, luminous complexion
  • Helps boost skin’s natural defenses to environmental stress
  • Paraben-free and fragrance-free; non-comedogenic
  • Ideal for all skin types, even very sensitive skin

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

    • Science

    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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing LOVE THIS I just started using this, my dermatologist recommended the product's I needed, I decided to call the company instead of buying these products from him. I read all the reviews, then called. I got VERY LUCKY, The lady I got to talk to was very knowledgeable about these products. She explained exactly how to use all of them. Is this somewhat as reviews say, running, Not really, do you want it thick as peanut butter? I'd rather it soak into my skin, which it does, very easily. Not sit on top. It's a beautiful UV Defense protection. It's not grainy at all. Shake it up like your suppose to. Follow your instructions. Easy peasy. Unless they make a better one, I'll use this from now on, every day to continue to protect my skin. I Love that it has no smell, overall IT'S A VERY BEAUTIFUL PRODUCT, I'D NEVER KNOW IT'S A DEFENSE UV SPF PROTECTIVE PRODUCT. FEELS LIKE SILK ON MY SKIN. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU CALL AND DISCUSS ANY CONCERNS WITH THESE PROFESSIONALS BEFORE WRITING A BAD REVIEW, CHANCES ARE, YOU DIDN'T USE IT RIGHT. KEEPIN IT 100 THIS COMPANY SHOWS RESULTS IMMEDIATELY!!!!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good It’s nice and something I fail to see grittiness as some reviews suggest would have loved a little pinkish tone

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Not for dry skin. Leaves visible film on face and picks up flakes, making them more visible. So, definitely don't use if you are using Retin-A. Even after using 10% glycolic the night before, it still has this flaky effect. Also, they say it's for all skin types. As a pale white person, I see flecks on my lips (which are a bit dark) if it so much as touches them. For this reason, I am seriously doubtful any person of color could use this at all.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from THE BEST! This is the only sunscreen that does not clog my pores. I started using it 3 years ago when my aesthetician recommended it. It is the best! I love the consistency. It smooths over the face so well. After seeing how great this product is, I gradually switched all my products to skinceuticals. I just went to the Caribbean a few weeks ago and my aesthetician was out of this product. So unfortunately I had to buy another high end sunscreen. I returned with my face completely broken out. Never again. I will make sure I have plenty of this product before I leave on my next trip.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Runny, gritty, sandy, horrible! I am obsessed with sun protection so I usually buy different brands of sunscreens every where I go, including the US, Europe and South America. I have tried in the past 5 years most of the best brands. So far, this is the worst! I completely agree with the last review posted 7 hours ago. No only is it runny, but it has a gritty-sandy feeling to it. In general I love all skinceuticals products. I use many of them. They are good quality, but their physical fusion UV defense is horrible!

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Runny and gritty texture I was already using CE Ferulic serum and decided to try this product because I wanted a tinted sunscreen. After using this product for about a month this is my observations. It's consistency is very liquid, almost runny. It also has a slightly gritty texture, perhaps because it's mineral based, although I've used other mineral based sunscreens that didn't have this almost sandy feel to the product. Because of the above issues and the price versus the amount you receive, I think I will stick with the mineral based sunscreen I was previously using. It's also because I get a 3 ounce product. versus 1.7, for approximately the same price without the runny consistency and gritty feel. I do like the tint coverage, but not enough to overcome the other issues.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Very good sunscreen but hate the tint I have no complaints about this sunscreen Infact I found this is the only sunscreen which works perfectly but hate the tint. Wish they would make a little dark tint for darker skin guys like me.
