Transparent Mineral Sunscreen with TriHex Technology for Broad Environmental Protection
ALASTIN SilkSHIELD All Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 with TriHex Technology is a lightweight mineral sunscreen designed to provide broad-spectrum protection while supporting overall skin health. Powered by zinc oxide, this transparent formula helps defend skin from UVA and UVB rays while also offering protection from environmental stressors such as infrared radiation, pollution, and blue light. The silky, fast-absorbing texture blends seamlessly into skin, leaving a smooth finish that layers well under makeup.
This sunscreen is enhanced with ALASTIN’s proprietary TriHex Technology®, a peptide-based complex designed to support the skin’s natural ability to clear damaged elastin and collagen while promoting the production of new, healthy fibers. Combined with antioxidants and barrier-supporting ingredients, SilkSHIELD helps maintain hydrated, comfortable skin while delivering daily sun protection. The fragrance-free, oil-free formula is suitable for most skin types, including sensitive or post-procedure skin.
- Who it’s best for: Normal, dry, oily, combination, sensitive, and post-procedure skin
