Mineral SPF 50 Face Shield Against UVA/UVB, Blue Light & Pollution
The Murad City Skin Age Defense Broad Spectrum SPF 50 (1.7 oz) is an ultra-light, 100% mineral sunscreen billed as a complete “city shield” for your face. It uses zinc oxide and titanium dioxide for high-level UVA/UVB protection, and pairs that with iron oxides and lutein to guard against blue light, infrared radiation and pollution. The silky formula absorbs quickly, leaves no white cast, and finishes with a subtle pearlized glow that works beautifully under makeup. With its multi-defense approach, it’s ideal for skin exposed to screens, smog and urban stress.
Designed for balanced, oily, combination, dry and even sensitive skin types, this advanced sunscreen tackles multiple visible aging triggers: UV rays, blue light from devices, pollution particles and infrared heat. Murad’s “Environmental Protection Technology” combines a polymer matrix to block pollutant adhesion, iron oxides for tone correction and a mineral filter system for broad-spectrum protection. Clinical testing shows it shields skin from 96% of selected pollutants and 89% of blue light in vitro. Beyond defense, the finish is luminous yet sheer—no heavy residue or greasy feel.
- Who it’s best for: All skin types—especially city-dwellers, screen-exposed, pollution-prone or aging with texture/uneven tone
- What makes it different: A 100 % mineral SPF 50 face cream that also guards against blue light, infrared and pollution in one step
Due to manufacturer updates, packaging may vary from the image shown. Please note the product formulation remains the same.
