Solar Defender, 30 SPF Sunscreen. A revolutionary sunscreen formula that's both gentle and extremely effective at protecting from aging UVA and burning UVB rays.

Defender SPF 30 water-resistant sunscreen goes on sheer and is invisible in seconds. Any skin will find it easy to wear throughout the day. Due to the blend of UV absorbing (Octinoxate) and reflecting (Zinc Oxide) sunscreens, Solar Defender SPF 30 may be applied under or over moisturizer.

May also be worn under makeup or alone. This formula is enriched with cell-protecting antioxidant Vitamin E, stabilized Vitamin C and soothing Green Tea and Aloe to help lessen the damage caused by direct sunlight.

Contains Octinoxate, the most popular UVB sunscreen in the world, and micronized Zinc Oxide, the gentlest UVA-protective sunscreen available. Both sunscreens are suspended in a biologically-inert silicone emulsion which helps prevent the irritation normally caused by sunscreens.

This greaseless base leaves skin's protective barrier intact, so your complexion stays calm and moist all day, regardless of skin type. Water-resistant. Does not contain mineral oil or pore-clogging ingredients.

Antimicrobial essential oils of tea tree, thyme, sage and eucalyptus help control problematic bacteria on the skin's surface, helping to reduce the likelihood of breakouts, while humectant peptides from Hawaiian Red Marine Algae keep skin moist and comfortable.
