Description
Tinted mineral sunscreen with a light shade for fair skin
Fair skin has a paradoxical relationship with the sun: it enjoys it but also reacts most strongly to it. Redness, pigmentation spots, and uneven tone are often the first visible consequences of unprotected exposure. For fair to light-medium skin, daily mineral protection is not a luxury but the most impactful anti-aging step you can take.
SheerZinc Tinted in the shade Nude is formulated to respect the natural skin tone of Fitzpatrick I to III. A fine veil of iron oxides neutralizes minor imperfections, visually soothes redness, and provides a smooth, fresh finish — without looking like a layer of makeup. What remains is the skin itself, just as it is, with calm uniformity and full UV protection.
Benefits
- Refines the natural skin tone without covering the skin like foundation does
- Helps visually neutralize visible redness and minor imperfections
- Offers broad-spectrum protection with 18.6% zinc oxide against UVA and UVB
- Shields against blue light and infrared radiation via Elix-IR™ and InfraGuard
- Provides a natural matte to satin finish that works under or instead of makeup
Active ingredients
Zinc Oxide 18.6%: The mineral UV filter that acts as a physical barrier on the skin and reflects UVA and UVB rays before they reach the skin cells. The micronized form feels light and is especially suitable for sensitive skin that reacts quickly to chemical filters. Zinc also has a soothing effect on irritated skin.
Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499): The pigments that give this shade its light, warm nuances. Besides their visual function, iron oxides add a second layer of protection: they specifically help against visible light and blue light (HEV), something classic SPF without pigment cannot do. This makes this tinted version valuable for pigment-sensitive skin and melasma.
Arabidopsis Thaliana Extract: A plant stem cell extract with a remarkable property: it supports the repair of UV-induced DNA damage in skin cells. Research shows the skin exhibits repair activity within eight hours. A valuable addition to physical protection, especially for those who spend a lot of time outdoors.
Imperata Cylindrica Wort Extract: A plant-based hydrating ingredient that significantly increases the moisture content in the skin. Important because skin under SPF tends to dry out quickly — this ingredient keeps the complexion fresh and prevents it from feeling tight or dull as the day goes on.
Elix-IR™ & InfraGuard: Two patented antioxidant complexes that protect the skin from blue light from screens and infrared radiation from sunlight. These types of light exposure penetrate deeper skin layers than UV and contribute to pigmentation and collagen breakdown.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if Nude matches my skin tone?
Nude is developed for light to light-medium skin tones, approximately Fitzpatrick I to III. If you have a porcelain, ivory, or beige undertone, this tint blends effortlessly into your natural complexion. For warmer, sun-kissed, or medium skin, Sunkissed is a better match; for darker skin, Tan is the right choice.
Can I use this product instead of foundation?
Yes, for many users SheerZinc Nude replaces their daily foundation. The tint provides just enough coverage to even out the skin and neutralize minor redness without feeling like makeup. If you want more coverage, this SPF makes an excellent base under a light foundation or tinted day cream.
Does this SPF leave a white cast on the skin?
No. The micronized zinc oxide combined with the iron oxides eliminates the typical white cast you might expect from mineral sunscreens. It is important to warm the cream between your fingertips before applying — this ensures even absorption.
Is Nude suitable for sensitive skin and couperose?
Absolutely. The combination of mineral filters, the soothing effect of zinc, and the visual neutralization by the tint make this version especially suitable for sensitive skin and skin with visible redness. Chemical filters are avoided, minimizing irritation.
