Shielding you from much more than just the sun, the Guard's Up Daily Mineral Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 35 protects you on all fronts – from environmental pollution, electronic pollution (because TikTok is a time-stealing vortex) and the sun.

Offering its services without a trace of chalkiness or white cast, this creamy and lightweight formula delivers a natural finish that looks neither too dewy nor too matte. Oil free and powered by 15.2% non-nano zinc oxide, (which is the safest SPF active available as it won’t penetrate the epidermis or harm marine wildlife), this formula works on the skin’s surface to physically prevent rays from penetrating. Broad-spectrum protection (that’s protection against UVA and UVB rays, FYI) joins an array of antioxidants in safeguarding you from blue light, and amino acid-rich sea fennel extract boosts your elastin levels to firm and add bounce. Plus, moringa seed extract boasts vitamin C and encourages the production of collagen, and aloe leaf extract attracts and retains moisture while soothing skin.

HOW: Gently smooth an even, generous layer (about the size of a coin) onto skin. Because mineral SPF 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. Reapply every 2 hours when in direct sunlight or getting wet.

GOOD TO KNOW: Even though mineral sunscreen goes to work right away, we recommend following the FDA guidelines to wait 15 minutes before sun exposure. And remember: No sunscreen is a replacement for staying out of the sun. Use before the expiration date printed on the crimp on the tube.

Like a guard dog for your face, the Guard's Up Daily Mineral Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 35 offers protection against pollution, blue light and the sun – all without harming marine life or leaving a chalky residue. Pumped with kind-to-skin, plant-derived ingredients to add moisture and soothe, this UVA- and UVB-ray defender ensures skin is left looking plump, supple and smooth with a natural dewy-matte hybrid finish.
