Mineral Facial Moisturizer with Transparent Non-Nano Zinc Oxide
Natural Sun Shield Facial Moisturizer is a lightweight daily face moisturizer made with 15% transparent non-nano zinc oxide and naturally occurring mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) from whole wild seaweed. Unlike the chalky white appearance often associated with traditional mineral sunscreens, its transparent zinc oxide is designed to blend comfortably into the skin without leaving a heavy white cast. Vegetable glycerine, aloe vera and apricot kernel oil provide daily hydration, while its sun-protection performance is comparable to SPF 30.

I tried another seaweed sunscreen and I didn't like it because it left my skin white. Seaflora always creates products that are a step (or two) above the rest. To put it plainly they are simply the best!
I've been offering samples of Seaflora's Natural Sun Shield at my local brewery, Sooke Oceanside Brewery and my guests LOVE it!!! Actually I even became an affiliate so I can offer it to my guests to purchase after trying it. We have a patio looking over the ocean, and on sunny days, my guests are stoked to have locally made sunscreen made with clean ingredients and all natural sun protection.
I am in Mexico on vacation and it protects my face perfectly. Love it.
There is nothing else like this on the market! SAFE ingredients, SAFE for the ocean and environment, SAFE for everyone. They have it in Bulk Refill now too!!! OMG OMG OMG!!! No white residue, it feels like a moisturizer, and it works really well - better than my SPF from Eminence
THIS!! Not only does this smell like heaven, it moisturizers my skin so well and being a sunscreen I use it daily to keep my skin safe. Definitely a must have in my skin care routine. Thanks Seaflora for letting me be a "Test Diva". ❤️
I got to test the product before it was launched. The new Sun Shield Facial Moisturizer is amazing! It smells absolutely fantastic! Goes on easy and doesn't feel greasy and best of all it worked great on my fair skin. I would compare it to an SPF 30 as far as protection goes.
Love your 2 products I have purchased
No white cast. Gentle on skin.
Great moisturizer! Absorbs quickly and leaves my skin very hydrated, and feeling firm at the same time. Will purchase again.
I LOVE THIS STUFF!
It’s the only sun shield I’ve found that doesn’t seem to cause more “breakouts” of various sorts on my ancient hide (89 years). It also moisturizers in a comfortable way. Wish I had found it decades ago.
Love this sunscreen! It feels so nourishing and moisturizing on the skin, but not greasy or heavy. It’s perfect !
Fantastic! Use it every day.
Goes on light but feels abit heavy and sticky on face but still love it
Comes out of container abit quickly and too much-hope improves as might be wasting abit
I love this product, the consistency is thin and wears well under makeup. I’ve had problems with other face sun screens migrating by the end of the day and stinging my eyes, never with this one. Just reordered and wishing it came in a larger bottle.
