What makes this product unique?
Essential Non-Greasy Sunscreen SPF 15 has a supremely light texture that includes avobenzone for sufficient UVA protection. The antioxidant-rich formula also contains water-binding agents for just a touch of moisture so skin is better able to resist the drying effects of sun exposure. We formulated this to feel more elegant than most sunscreens for normal to oily skin, so go ahead, apply liberally—this won't feel slick, greasy, or occlusive.
This product is 100% fragrance- and colorant-free.
Who is this product for?
Essential Non-Greasy Sunscreen SPF 15 is recommended for normal to oily/combination skin but can be used by anyone looking for sun protection with a soft matte finish and light hydration.
How should this product be used?
Apply liberally prior to sun exposure. This sunscreen is not water-resistant and not meant to be used while swimming. Reapply immediately if you perspire heavily. May be used on the face and is suitable for use under makeup.

How can I reapply sunscreen to my face without ruining my makeup?
When starting all over isn't convenient or feasible, it is wise to carry a pressed powder with sun protection, such as Paula's Choice Healthy Finish Pressed Powder SPF 15. The method of application is to first absorb any excess oil or perspiration with an oil-absorbing sheet or a plain tissue. Then take a powder puff or sponge and apply an even layer of the powder on your entire face, including the eye area. Use light, downward strokes and blend at the edges. Using a brush will give a sheer, less powdered look but any sun protection you net will be minimal.
