Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this sunscreen different from others?

Unlike many mineral sunscreens, this compact delivers a completely sheer, weightless finish without a white cast. It also primes the skin with a blurring and mattifying effect, so it doubles as a makeup base while providing high-level UVA, UVB, and environmental protection.

Is it suitable for all skin tones?

Yes. The transparent formula works on every skin tone without leaving a chalky or ashy look. It blends seamlessly into the skin, making it an excellent choice for those who have struggled with traditional mineral SPF finishes.

Can it replace my makeup primer?

Absolutely. The silky, solid texture smooths skin, softens the appearance of pores, and controls shine—making it an ideal primer under makeup or a perfecting step on bare skin.

How should I reapply during the day?

Use the included sponge to press and blend the product evenly over your face, neck, and décolleté every two hours, or immediately after swimming, sweating, or towel-drying. The compact format makes midday touch-ups quick and easy without disturbing your makeup.

Is it safe for sensitive skin?

Yes. It’s dermatologist tested, fragrance free, paraben free, and dye free. The mineral, non-nano zinc-based formula is gentle enough for sensitive or post-procedure skin while still delivering powerful environmental defense.

How to Use sunbetter SHEER SPF 56 Sunscreen Compact

  • Use as the last step of your morning skincare regimen.
  • Twist the compact and pull up on the lid to open. Remove the sponge and lift up on the tray to reveal the product.
  • Using gentle pressure, apply and blend the product all over the face, neck, and décolleté, ensuring the entire surface of your skin is covered for optimal protection. Add additional layers for added coverage.
  • Apply liberally and evenly 15 minutes before sun exposure.
  • For storage, flip the tray and place the sponge on top to separate it from the product. Close the lid and twist the compact for air tight closure which will help ensure the shelf life of your product.
  • Reapply after 80 minutes of swimming or sweating, immediately after towel drying, and at least every 2 hours.
  • Do not leave in hot temperatures for long periods of time as the compact may soften, making application less elegant (though not less effective).
