FAQs

How is No-Show™ Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 different from Face Shield Classic SPF 50?

No-Show™ is untinted and does not contain iron oxides, unlike the tinted Face Shield products. It offers the same Total Protection™ benefits—hydration, calming, and free radical defense—without any color. It’s ideal for those who:

• Prefer no tint due to color transfer concerns (e.g., shirt collars)

• Need a sheer formula suitable for deeper skin tones

• Want an all-mineral sunscreen for no-makeup days, workouts, or use on hands/body

Is there a color/tint to No-Show™ Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50?

No. It is white when dispensed, then blends in sheer, leaving skin looking naturally like your own—no tint or color.

How does it protect against blue light without iron oxides?

No-Show™ uses Zinc Oxide, which provides protection from 38.2% of blue light. For added blue light defense, pair it with Total Protection™ Brush-On Shield SPF 50.

What is the texture and finish of this sunscreen?

It has a milky, ultra-lightweight texture that’s lighter than Face Shields. It absorbs quickly, hydrates the skin, and leaves a soft, velvety finish.

Is this recommended for men?

Yes. Its untinted formula makes it perfect for men or anyone wanting a color-free sunscreen that won’t transfer onto clothing.

Will it work with all skin tones?

Yes. It is designed to wear sheer across a wide range of skin tones with no white cast.

How should I apply it and how much?

• Shake well before use

• Apply liberally and evenly to face and/or body

• Blend thoroughly and allow to set (1–2 minutes)

• Reapply every 2 hours

Pro Tip:

• Use a nickel-sized amount or 2 fingers’ length for face

• Blend outward and upward

• For deeper tones: apply in small, layered amounts

How often should I reapply?

Every 2 hours, especially after swimming, sweating, or towel drying.

When do I apply it in my skincare routine?

Apply it last, after cleanser, toner, treatments, and moisturizer. Allow to absorb before applying makeup.

Does it replace moisturizer?

It provides hydration, but those with dry or delicate skin should apply moisturizer beforehand for best results.

Can I use this with Even Up®, All Calm®, or a primer?

Yes. Apply No-Show™ first, followed by your chosen SPF primers or treatment products.

How long before sun exposure should I apply?

Apply 15 minutes before exposure to environmental aggressors.

Can I mix this with Face Shield?

Yes. Mixing No-Show™ with Face Shield reduces the color intensity. For maximum tint, layer Face Shield over No-Show™.

Can I apply it to the body, scalp, or hairline?

Yes. It’s suitable for full-body use, including scalp and part line, and is water/sweat-resistant for up to 40 minutes.

Can I use it around my eyes?

Use caution around the eye area. For eye-safe options, use Brush-On Shield SPF 50, Sport Stick SPF 50, or Color Balms SPF 50, which are ophthalmologist-tested.

What if the product is pilling?

• Blend in one direction (outward and upward)

• Allow previous skincare products to fully absorb before applying

• Let No-Show™ dry before layering makeup

How do I reapply over makeup?

Use Total Protection™ Brush-On Shield SPF 50 for convenient, mess-free reapplication every 2 hours.

How do I use this with the Brush-On Shield SPF 50?

Use No-Show™ as the base sunscreen and reapply with Brush-On Shield SPF 50 for touch-ups throughout the day.

Is it water- or sweat-resistant?

Yes. No-Show™ is water- and sweat-resistant for up to 40 minutes.

Will it transfer onto clothing?

No. It’s color-free and designed to leave no residue or transfer.

How do I wash it off?

Use soap or cleanser and warm water to fully remove the product.

Is it suitable for acne-prone or oily skin?
