SkinCeuticals' Physical Fusion UV Defense Sunscreen SPF 50 not only provides broad-spectrum sun protection from both burning and aging sun rays, but it also offers a universal tint that enhances your skin tone and boosts radiance. Designed to glide on smoothly without leaving behind any oily or white residue, this lightweight formula is water-resistant for up to 40 minutes. Key Ingredients: 5% Zinc Oxide (Z-Cote®): this microfine zinc oxide is a mineral filter that reflects sun rays to provide broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays. The particle size and distribution characteristics spread evenly and provide a non-whitening effect on skin. 6% Titanium Dioxide: microfine titanium dioxide is a mineral SPF filter that acts as a weightless reflector on skin to protect against UVA and UVB rays. Artemia Salina: this plankton extract helps boost skin’s natural defenses and resistance to UV- and heat-induced stress. Translucent Color Spheres: iron oxide spheres that act as a color-infused technology to enhance natural skin tone and boost radiance while providing a universal tint for your skin tone. Key Benefits: Sheer, tinted sunscreen adapts to skin tone without a white cast. Water-resistant for up to 40 minutes. Boosts radiance for a more even, luminous complexion Helps boost skin’s natural defenses to environmental stress. Paraben-free and fragrance-free; non-comedogenic Ideal for all skin types, even very sensitive skin.

Wished it worked for me but it didn't, unfortunately. Had high hopes as it's a non-chemical sunscreen. However, it irritated my skin.
