Why Shop
Science-led sun care and SPF makeup.
Everyday mineral sunscreen you’ll actually use
Colorescience’s mineral sunscreens emphasize wearable textures—sheer lotions, lightweight creams and brush-applied powders that make reapplication simple. The formulas blend zinc oxide with skin-nourishing antioxidants to reduce irritation while delivering broad-spectrum protection. Ideal for daily use under makeup or on their own, these pieces are staples for sun-aware skin routines.
Makeup that doubles as protection
The brand’s tinted products—tinted moisturizers, complexion-correcting creams and mineral powders—offer light-to-medium coverage with integrated SPF. They smooth tone and blur without masking the skin, letting you layer protection beneath a polished finish. Brush-applicator powders are travel-friendly for midday reapplication when you’re on the go.
