SkinCeuticals Physical Fusion UV Defense SPF 50
Physical Fusion UV Defense SPF 50 is weightless, 100% physical sunscreen that provides water-resistant broad-spectrum protection with transparent titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. Enhanced with artemia salina, a plankton extract, this lightweight sunscreen increases skin defences and resistance to UV and heat stress. Tinted to enhance natural skin tone and boost daily radiance. Tested on all ethnicities.
Science
Formulated with transparent Zinc Oxide (Z-Cote®), the only physical UV filter spanning the full UVA/UVB spectrum, and translucent colour spheres that adapt to all skin tones. This ground-breaking weightless tinted sunscreen technology provides 100% physical broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection as it boosts skin radiance.
Innovation
Featuring a breakthrough broad-spectrum technology, iron oxide spheres evenly disperse within fluid texture to provide sheer surface coating, UV protection, and universal radiance. Using a “Shake then apply” action helps ensure even distribution of sunscreen ingredients.
Key Ingredients
5% Zinc oxide (Z-Cote®)
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 the skin
6% Titanium dioxide
Microfine titanium dioxide is a mineral SPF filter that acts as a weightless reflector on the skin to protect against UVA and UVB rays
Artemia salina
This plankton extract helps boost skin’s natural defences and resistance to UV- and heat-induced stress (based on in-vitro testing)
Translucent colour spheres
Iron oxide spheres are a colour-infused technology that enhances natural skin tone and boosts radiance while providing a universal tint for most skin tones.
