A lightweight, water-based sunscreen with SPF 50 UVA/UVB and visible light protection. Breathable, non-comedogenic and comfortable through heat and humidity, it helps minimise excess shine while defending skin against daily environmental stressors like sunlight, indoor lighting and screen time.
Its natural tint blends seamlessly into the skin tone to softly blur the look of imperfections for fresh, healthy-looking skin with a natural skin-like finish.
Formulated with soothing anti-inflammatory ingredients and antioxidant-rich Vitamins C and E, the formula helps calm the look of redness while keeping skin hydrated, balanced and shine-free throughout the day.
Best for: All skin types especially oily, combination or acne-prone skin, and those who prefer a lightweight sunscreen with sheer natural coverage. For dry skin, you'd love our SunShield SPF 50, a more moisturising tone-up sunscreen with buildable coverage.
Free from: Fragrance, parabens, phthalates, sulphates, mineral oil and alcohol.
Thoughtfully formulated: Vegan, cruelty-free and pregnancy-friendly.
Available in a REFILL KIT. When you’re ready to replenish, simply pop in a refill and you’re good to go.

1. What is the difference between SunShield and SunShield Aqua?
Both provide SPF 50 UVA/UVB and visible light protection. SunShield Aqua SPF 50 is a lightweight, water-based, and non-comedogenic sunscreen with a natural tint that lightly evens out skin tone for sheer, natural coverage, making it ideal for oily, combination and acne-prone skin.

No, SunShield Aqua SPF 50 is formulated with a hybrid blend of mineral and chemical UV filters and a sheer natural tint that blends seamlessly into the skin tone without leaving a heavy white cast.
3. Will SunShield Aqua SPF 50 clog pores?
No, SunShield Aqua SPF 50 is non-comedogenic and formulated for oily, combination and acne-prone skin. The lightweight, breathable formula won't clog pores and helps minimise excess shine throughout the day.
4. Does SunShield Aqua SPF 50 protect against visible light?
Yes, SunShield Aqua SPF 50 provides visible light protection to help defend skin against daily exposure from sunlight, indoor lighting and digital devices.
5. Do I need to double cleanse after using SunShield Aqua SPF 50?
We recommend thoroughly removing sunscreen at the end of the day using a gentle makeup remover, cleansing oil or cleansing balm to help prevent buildup and pore congestion. Alternatively, our LumiGlow Enzyme Cleansing Pods effectively remove sunscreen, makeup and daily impurities in one step without the need for double cleansing.

7. What is visible light?
Visible light, sometimes referred to as HEVL (High Energy Visible Light), comes from both sunlight and everyday sources such as indoor lighting and digital devices. Prolonged visible light exposure may contribute to pigmentation, uneven skin tone and signs of premature skin ageing, especially for pigmentation-prone skin. SunShield Aqua SPF 50 contains ingredients that help defend against visible light exposure while protecting skin against UVA and UVB rays.
8. Is SunShield Aqua SPF 50 safe for use during pregnancy?
Yes, it is safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
