Tips for optimal application of Total Protection™ No-Show™ Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50

Total Protection™ No Show™ Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50
  • 1.

    Apply No-Show™ Mineral as the last step in your skin care routine, after cleansing, toning, moisturizing, etc.

  • 2.

    Apply to face and body in a single direction (versus rubbing back and forth or in circular motions). This will allow for a smooth, even application that results in no white cast.

  • 3.

    Applying makeup over No-Show™ Mineral? Go for it! This lightweight formula works wonderfully as a protective base layer. Just remember to reapply protection every 2 hours - we recommend using a Sunforgettable® Total Protection™ Brush-On Shield SPF 50 for easy-to-reapply protection that won't disrupt your look.

FAQs

Our Total Protection™ Face Shield SPF products are formulated with Iron Oxides which offer a tint to them, in a range of shades and effects, whereas No-Show™ Mineral does not contain any iron oxides and is untinted.  While Face Shield Classic leaves no color coverage for many of our customers, we know many still have a need for an all-mineral, untinted sunscreen without white cast.  Our untinted, all-mineral No-Show™ sunscreen provides the same powerful Total Protection™ and skin-health benefits (hydration, calming, free radical defense) as our Face Shields, it:  

- is ideal for someone who does not want tint due to transfer onto clothing (i.e. men and shirt collars):  

- provides the sheerest-of-the-sheer aesthetic for deeper skin tones who have often had to use chemical filters to avoid white cast 

- is also great for the Face Shield user on days when they want to be color/makeup free, (like working out), or using on hands, and body.  

There are so many places and faces where No-Show™ Mineral can be used for powerful, all-mineral defense without compromising between protection and skin that looks beautifully like your skin.  

No. Total Protection™ No-Show™ Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 does not have a color or tint to it.  It is white when dispensed and blends away sheer so your skin looks beautifully like your skin.    

In addition to being a powerful sunscreen active ingredient, Zinc Oxide also provides the therapeutic benefit of defending against blue light.  Total Protection™ No-Show™ Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 was tested to protect skin from 38.2% of blue light.  For additional defense, follow with one of our Total Protection™ sunscreen brushes.    

No-Show™ Mineral Sunscreen is an ultra-lightweight formula with a milky, fluid texture and is slightly lighter weight than Face Shields.  It blends so easily and beautifully into skin you'll forget it's there. Skin is hydrated and left with a velvety, soft finish.  

Yes. We would recommend Total Protection™ No-Show™ Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 for men and anyone who prefers a sunscreen without color or tint for certain occasions or events.  

Total Protection™ No-Show™ Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 is formulated without any color or tint to it as was designed to work for all skin tones.  It has been tested to wear sheer for a wider range of skin tones.    

 

Pro Tips:  

-When applying mineral sunscreens it helps to start from the center of the face and blend outward and upward in a single direction, rather than back and forth or in circular motions.  

 

-Additionally, for deeper skin tones, apply gradually in small amounts, blending (outward and upward) in between layers until the full amount is applied.  (i.e., if you prefer the 2-finger dose method, rather than applying the amount from both fingers at the same time, apply just one finger length amount of product first, blend, then apply the second finger length amount of product and blend.  This will ensure you have applied the amount needed for full SPF coverage and will better help to achieve the No-Show™, white-cast free aesthetic.   

Shake well before each use. Apply liberally and evenly to face and/or body. Blend well - take a few extra seconds to blend thoroughly, then allow to set. This may take a minute or two. As with all sunscreens, reapply at least every 2 hours.  

 

Pro Tips:  

-Ensure complete SPF coverage:  

- Apply at least a nickel-sized amount OR generously dispense onto the length of 2 fingers then apply to face  

- Use additional product for neck and body  

 

-For deeper skin tones, apply gradually in small amounts, blending in between layers until the full amount is applied 

Apply Total Protection™ No-Show™ Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 liberally and evenly 15 minutes before exposure to environmental aggressors. Like all SPF products, reapply at least every 2 hours as recommended by the FDA and the Skin Cancer Foundation.  

Total Protection™ No-Show™ Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 is designed to be the last step in your skin care routine, after cleansing, toning, treatments, and moisturizer.  After No-Show™ Mineral has absorbed, follow with your makeup routine if desired.  

Although Total Protection™ No-Show™ Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 was formulated with ingredients that help to hydrate and nourish, for those who have dry or fragile skin, applying onto moisturized skin will help ensure more even distribution and help accomplish the No-Show™ aesthetic.  

Since each of these products provides SPF 50 defense, there is no need to use multiple together.  However, if you would like to use this with Even Up® Clinical Pigment Perfector® SPF 50, All Calm® Clinical Redness Corrector SPF 50, or Primers, apply those after No-Show™ Mineral.   

As with all SPF products, Total Protection™ No-Show™ Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 should be applied 15 minutes prior to exposure. Like all SPF products, reapply every 2 hours. 

Total Protection™ No-Show™ Mineral SPF 50 and Face Shields SPF 50 can be mixed together to reduce the color or effect (glow, bronze, or mattification) from your Face Shield.  (i.e., if mixing No-Show™ with Face Shield Flex, your color coverage will be less saturated and more sheer.)  To maintain the maximum color coverage or effect, we would recommend layering No-Show™ Mineral under Face Shield.  And remember, whether mixing or layering, ensure to apply the recommended sunscreen amount to ensure full SPF protection.   

Yes, Total Protection™ No-Show™ Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 can be applied head to toe.  Its lightweight formula allows it to blend easily, and its color-free sheerness will allow your skin to look like your skin wherever you apply.  It Is also water-and sweat-resistant for up to 40 minutes, making this an Ideal product for sports and outdoor or water activities.  

No-Show has not been tested for use around the eye area. Use caution when applying to the eye area and avoid getting product into eyes. Consider some of our non-liquid Total Protection products, including Brush-On Shield SPF 50, Sport Stick SPF 50 and Color Balms SPF 50 in 6 shades.  Color Balms have been ophthalmology tested and are safe for use around the eye area, for sensitive eyes, and contact lens wearers.  

Apply product in a single direction blending outward and upward from the center or your face.  Pilling can also be caused by other products applied in combination.  For best results, allow each skin care or treatment product time to absorb/dry down into skin before applying the next product.  Apply No-Show™ after the products in your skin care regimen have absorbed/dried down.  After No-Show™ has dried down, follow with your makeup regimen. 

You can reapply Total Protection™ No-Show™ Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 every 2 hours.  If you have applied makeup over No-Show™, we recommend trying our perfect on-the-go, all-mineral Total Protection™ brushes for easy, mess-free, and makeup-friendly reapplication after every 2 hours. 

Apply Total Protection™ No-Show™ Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 for your initial application. As with all sunscreens, reapply every 2 hours. For convenient all-day reapplication on-the-go or directly over makeup, use the Total Protection™ Brush-on Shield SPF 50.

Yes, Total Protection™ No-Show™ Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 is water/sweat resistant for up to 40 minutes.

No, Total Protection™ No-Show™ Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 does not contain color, so there will be no transfer onto clothing. 

Wash with soap or cleanser and warm water.  

Total Protection™ No-Show™ Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 is oil free and was tested to be non-comedogenic, making this suitable for acne-prone skin.  

Yes, Total Protection™ No-Show™ Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 is suitable for all skin types, including oily. However, for those that find their skin requires additional oil control, we recommend following with our Sunforgettable® Total Protection™ Sheer Matte SPF 30 Sunscreen Brush for easy-to-reapply protection that also absorbs excess surface oil, and features an untinted powder matte finish.

Total Protection™ No-Show™ Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 has a 2-year expiration period. After the product has been opened, it will last approximately 12 months. See bottom of carton for exact date. 

Yes No-Show™ Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 is hypoallergenic. 

All Total Protection® products use only all-mineral zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide which are the only sunscreen active ingredients recognized as safe and effective by the FDA.

Per FDA recommendation as well, our Total Protection® products are safe to apply to children 6 months and older. For use on children under 6 months of age, please consult your physician.

While all Total Protection® products are hypoallergenic and safe for sensitive skin and children above 6 months, young children and babies have especially delicate skin which is why we recommend the below, our most soothing all-mineral formulas, to protect their skin.

For teens and young adults, our Total Protection® Face Shield SPF 50 collection is a fan favorite for all-mineral, tinted formulas that can be mixed and matched to customize your protection. Please note, however, that all Total Protection® Face Shield SPF 50 formulas contain 2% niacinamide. While niacinamide, also known as Vitamin B3, is known to help soothe skin, aid the skin barrier, and balance sebum production, it can lead to irritation for those with an allergy. For this reason, we recommend a patch test on a small area of skin before applying directly to the face.

No-Show™  Mineral Sunscreen has not been tested on pregnant or nursing women.  Consult your physician before using.

Yes, Colorescience uses only mineral (also known as physical) sunscreen active ingredients, zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide in all of our sunscreen products.  These are the only 2 sunscreen actives the FDA recognizes as safe and effective.  Colorescience has never and will never use any chemical sunscreen actives.

No-Show™ Mineral Sunscreen does not contain any chemical ingredients, including oxybenzone and octinoxate, which are the 2 ingredients that are deemed to be damaging to coral reefs. It is important to note that some reef-safe sunscreens contain other chemical ingredients – avobenzone, octisalate, homosalate, octocrylene.  Colorescience has never and will never use any chemical sunscreen actives.

UVB exposure causes redness or burning, while UVA exposure causes skin darkening/pigmentation. Protection from both UVA and UVB means this product provides Broad Spectrum protection. 

Total Protection™ No-Show™ Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 provides Broad Spectrum SPF 50 (UVB protection). Testing is currently in progress to determine its PA rating. 

Total Protection™ Brush-On Shield SPF 50 provides Broad Spectrum SPF 50 (UVB protection) and PA++++ (UVA protection). 

Total Protection™ Sheer Matte SPF 30 Sunscreen Brush provides Broad Spectrum SPF030 (UVB protection) and PA+++ (UVA protection). 

Total Protection™ Sport Stick SPF 50 provides Broad Spectrum SPF 50 (UVB protection) and PA++++ (UVA protection). 

Total Protection™ Face Shield SPF 50 provide Broad Spectrum SPF 50 (UVB protection) and PA+++ (UVA protection). 

Total Protection™ Body Shield SPF 50 provide Broad Spectrum SPF 50 (UVB protection) and PA+++ (UVA protection). 

Total Protection™ Color Balms SPF 50 provide Broad Spectrum SPF 50 (UVB protection) and PA+++ (UVA protection). 

The PA rating system measures the level of protection from UVA rays, which are known to cause pigment darkening in the skin. It measures the amount of time a product would protect your skin from darkening. 

The following shows how much protection each PA score provides compared to unprotected skin. If your unprotected skin normally darkens/pigments after 5 min of UVA exposure: 

PA Rating | Level of Protection | Total # of min before experiencing skin darkening/pigmentation 

 

PA+ 

2-4 times 

10-20 minutes 

PA++ 

4-8 times 

20-40 minutes 

PA+++ 

8-16 times 

40-80 minutes 

PA++++ 

>16 times 

>80 minutes 

Total Protection™ No-Show™ Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 has a PA++++ rating.

EnviroScreen® Technology is proprietary to Colorescience®. EnviroScreen® Technology uses patented active ingredients, Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide, that create a barrier preventing free radical formation and oxidative stress. These patented actives are combined with specialty ingredients that, together, work synergistically to protect skin from damage caused by exposure to UVA/UVB rays, pollution, blue light (also known as High Energy Visible, or HEV, light), and infrared radiation.

Colorescience® follows the FDA guidelines for testing water resistance or adherence to the skin after exposure to water. A panel of 10 people apply the product to their skin prior to being immersed in a whirlpool (of moving or circulating water) for 20-minute cycles. After 20 minutes in the whirlpool, panelists exit the whirlpool before immersing themselves again. For 40 minutes water resistance, panelists are immersed in the water for two 20-minute cycles. For 80 minutes water resistance, this is done a total of 4 times. After all cycles are completed, the SPF that is remaining on the skin is measured. If after 80 minutes in the whirlpool, the SPF remaining is at least 50, the result is an SPF 50 with 80 minutes of water resistance.

We measure our pollution protection by directly measuring free radicals created from UV + pollution events on unprotected skin and skin protected with Total Protection No-Show™ Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50. We use a testing technique called electron spin resonance (ESR) that uses a combination of a magnetic field and electron magnetic waves to directly detect the unpaired electrons of free radicals.

Blue (HEV) light protection is tested by measuring the ability of the formula to block light in the HEV spectrum that would otherwise reach the skin. In practice, this is done by applying the formula to a transparent substrate at the same dose level (2mg/cm2) used in the FDA Monograph SPF test. The substrate is then placed at the entrance of an integrating sphere detector which captures all the light passing through the sample. This configuration is the same as that used in the FDA Monograph Critical Wavelength measurement and mimics the situation of a formula applied to the skin. The percentage of HEV light blocked is calculated by comparing the intensity of the light transmitted through the formula to the incident light at each wavelength throughout the HEV spectrum (400–490 nm).
