Key Benefits
- SPF 50 broad-spectrum UVA + UVB protection — prevents sunburn, premature ageing, and hyperpigmentation
- 100% mineral actives (zinc oxide + titanium dioxide) — physical UV shield with no chemical filters

- Prebiotics and vitamin E defend against free radical damage
- Hyaluronic acid hydrates and ceramides reinforce the skin barrier

How to Use
- Apply generously 15 minutes before sun exposure. For the face, apply after moisturiser and before makeup.

- Reapply every 2 hours or immediately after swimming, sweating, or towelling.
Why Choose Mineral Over Chemical Sunscreen?
Mineral sunscreens physically block UV rays on the skin's surface rather than absorbing and converting them to heat. This makes them a preferred choice for those with sensitive skin requiring gentle sun protection, including those with rosacea, eczema, or post-laser/peel skin. Chemical-filter-free formulas are also widely recommended during pregnancy.
Key Ingredients
- Zinc Oxide + Titanium Dioxide: Mineral UV filters for broad-spectrum physical protection
- Prebiotics + Vitamin E: Antioxidant and microbiome support
- Hyaluronic Acid: Moisture retention
- Ceramides: Skin barrier reinforcement
Note: Always refer to product packaging for the complete and current ingredient list.

1. Apply generously to all exposed skin areas 15 minutes before sun exposure.
2. For the face: apply after your moisturiser and before makeup as the final skincare step.

FAQs
What makes Cetaphil Sheer Mineral Sunscreen different from chemical sunscreens?
This sunscreen uses 100% mineral active ingredients — zinc oxide and titanium dioxide — which physically block and scatter UV rays on the skin's surface. Chemical sunscreens absorb UV radiation and convert it to heat. Mineral sunscreens are generally preferred for sensitive skin, pregnant women, or those who prefer to avoid synthetic chemical filters.
Does the 'sheer' formula still leave a white cast?
No — the micronized mineral technology ensures the zinc oxide and titanium dioxide particles are finely milled, allowing the formula to blend more transparently into skin compared to traditional mineral sunscreens. A slight white cast may be visible on very deep skin tones; if so, blend thoroughly.
Is this sunscreen suitable for everyday face use?
Yes. The lightweight, sheer finish and non-comedogenic, fragrance-free formula make it ideal for daily facial use, including under makeup.
Can this be used on sensitive or reactive skin?
Absolutely. Cetaphil is specifically formulated for sensitive skin. This sunscreen is dermatologist-tested, chemical-filter-free, and fragrance-free — making it one of the most gentle SPF options available. It is particularly suitable for eczema-prone, rosacea-prone, or post-treatment skin.
Is Cetaphil Sheer Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 or SPF 50+?
The formulation provides SPF 50 broad-spectrum protection as tested and labelled on the packaging. Always refer to the product label for current SPF rating.
