SkinMedica Essential Defense Mineral Shield SPF 35 1.85 oz

Identical formula to the current release, in the larger tube SkinMedica sold before its 2025 packaging change. If you liked this sunscreen at the old size, this is it. The filter system is 100 percent mineral, 6 percent zinc oxide and 5 percent titanium dioxide, which gives broad UVA and UVB coverage with no chemical absorbers. Untinted, fragrance-free, oil-free and gentle enough for post-treatment skin and reactive complexions. Caffeine, green tea leaf extract and vitamin E provide antioxidant backup. Apply generously 15 minutes before sun exposure and reapply every two hours, or after swimming or sweating. Note the size difference from the newer 1.7 oz tube when comparing price per ounce. Limited stock in this format.
