This creamy mineral sunscreen with SPF 35 and lightweight moisture is great for all skin types, including acne-prone. While the formula has a peachy hue to help neutralize the white cast commonly associated with ...

A lightweight, broad-spectrum mineral sunscreen that provides protection against the elements—environmental pollution, blue-light pollution, and the sun.

2.5 fl. oz. / 75 ml

How: Gently smooth an even, generous layer (about the size of a coin) onto skin. Because mineral sunscreen acts as a barrier, sitting on the surface of the skin, do smooth it on—don’t rub it in the way you would a moisturizer. Use a light touch with this and any products you apply after to avoid makeup pilling.
Where: Face and neck. Bonus points for hands—after your eyes, hands are the number two spot that gives away age. 
When: AM (every AM), after your moisturizer has fully absorbed into your skin. If wearing makeup, allow 2-3 minutes for the sunscreen to sink in before applying primer or other cosmetics. Even though mineral sunscreen goes to work right away, we recommend following FDA guidelines to wait 15 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply every 2 hours when in direct sunlight or getting wet.

Good to Know: If you’re applying the recommended 1/2 teaspoon daily, you should finish your tube of Guards Up long before the expiration date printed on the crimp. If you aren’t finishing the tube within a few months, you aren't using enough. For the best experience, keep it out of the sun and extreme heat (a.k.a. don't leave it in your car) too.

    Sad you’re discontinuing

    I thought I had found my unicorn of facial sunscreens! I’m so disappointed it’s being discontinued. Mineral sunscreen that doesn’t feel greasy or heavy? It’s the most perfect sunscreen for face I’ve found.

    Love this formula!

    So upset that it will be discontinued. I've been using it for years. I'll try new moisturizers or cleansers but I never cheat on this sunscreen with other brands. Now they are replacing it with a chemical sunscreen which means I have to start all over again testing other brands. It absorbed beautifully and didn't pill under makeup. I will miss it terribly.
