Daily broad-spectrum SPF 50 protection from Obagi Sun Shield — genuine, authorised UK Obagi stock, sealed and in-date, with fast tracked delivery. A free virtual consultation is available if you'd like guidance.
Zinc oxide does much of the work in Sun Shield, so if you want to understand what that means before you buy, the Academy entry on zinc oxide covers how it sits on the skin, the finish it gives and who tends to get on with it. Our broad-spectrum facial sunscreen guide then compares textures and finishes across brands, which helps if you're deciding between the tinted and untinted options here.

Frequently asked questions
Which Obagi Sun Shield should I choose?
Which Obagi Sun Shield should I choose?
All three are broad-spectrum SPF 50, so choose by finish. Sun Shield Mineral is the untinted physical option for sensitive or blemish-prone skin; Sun Shield Tint Cool suits fair-to-medium skin with pink undertones; and Sun Shield Tint Warm flatters medium-to-deep skin with golden undertones. The tinted versions double as a light base, so you skip separate foundation.
How much Sun Shield should I apply and when?
How much Sun Shield should I apply and when?
Apply a two-finger length as the final morning step, over moisturiser and after your serums have absorbed. Give it a couple of minutes to set before make-up, and reapply every two hours in strong sun or after swimming. A pea-sized blob is not enough, you need the full quantity to reach the SPF 50 on the label.
What is the difference between the mineral and tinted Sun Shields?
What is the difference between the mineral and tinted Sun Shields?
Sun Shield Mineral shields with physical zinc oxide filters that sit on the skin's surface and suit reactive, redness-prone skin. The Tint Cool and Tint Warm versions add iron oxides, which give colour and screen the visible light linked to the look of pigmentation. If uneven tone is your concern, a tinted Sun Shield does double duty.
Which Sun Shield is gentlest, and do I need SPF over my actives?
Which Sun Shield is gentlest, and do I need SPF over my actives?
Mineral filters make Sun Shield Mineral the gentlest pick for sensitive, blemish-prone or post-treatment skin. Wear SPF 50 daily year-round, especially while using Obagi Retinol, Professional-C or any Exfoderm exfoliant, since those actives leave skin more sun-sensitive. Layer it last in the morning, never mixed into your moisturiser, so the protection stays even.
How do I pick the right Sun Shield shade?
How do I pick the right Sun Shield shade?
Sun Shield Tint Cool matches fair-to-medium skin with pink undertones and Sun Shield Tint Warm suits medium-to-deep skin with golden undertones, while Sun Shield Mineral stays untinted for anyone who prefers no colour.
