How To Use

Application: Apply generously and evenly to face, neck, and chest as the final step in your morning skincare routine. Use approximately a nickel-sized amount for the face and neck combined to ensure adequate protection.

Frequency: Apply daily every morning, even on cloudy days, as UVA rays penetrate through clouds and windows.

Timing: Apply 15 minutes before sun exposure to allow the physical filters to settle on the skin and provide optimal protection.

Layering: Can be applied directly after your moisturiser or serum. For oily skin, Clear Shield can replace your morning moisturiser due to its hydrating properties. Layers beautifully under makeup without pilling.

Expert Tips: Reapply every two hours during extended sun exposure, or immediately after swimming, washing, towel drying, or heavy perspiring. For enhanced protection, pair with AlumierMD's antioxidant serums in your morning routine. Speak to our experts for personalised application guidance tailored to your specific skin concerns.

Key Active Ingredients:

Titanium Dioxide (Nano) 7%: A safe, naturally occurring mineral that provides broad-spectrum protection from both UVA (ageing) and UVB (sunburn-causing) rays. As a physical sunscreen agent, it works by reflecting and scattering UV rays away from the skin surface. The nano-particle formulation ensures seamless blending without leaving a white cast whilst maintaining superior photostability.

Zinc Oxide 6.18%: A micro-fine mineral offering comprehensive broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB radiation. Zinc oxide functions as a physical barrier that reflects and scatters harmful UV rays whilst providing additional anti-inflammatory and wound-healing properties. This gentle yet effective filter is particularly suitable for sensitive and acne-prone skin.

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): A versatile multi-functional ingredient that strengthens the skin's protective lipid barrier by increasing ceramides and free fatty acids. Niacinamide helps regulate sebum production to control oiliness, calms inflammation and redness, improves skin texture, and gradually brightens hyperpigmentation. Its soothing properties make it ideal for sensitive and blemish-prone complexions.

Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid): A low-molecular-weight form of hyaluronic acid that penetrates deeply into the skin to provide intense hydration. This humectant attracts and binds up to 1,000 times its weight in water, plumping the skin, improving elasticity, and creating a smooth, supple texture whilst supporting the skin's moisture barrier.

Resveratrol: A potent polyphenol antioxidant derived from grape seed extract that provides exceptional protection against UV-induced oxidative stress. Resveratrol demonstrates powerful anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic properties whilst helping to prevent collagen breakdown and supporting overall skin resilience against environmental aggressors.

Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (Stable Vitamin C): A stable, water-soluble form of Vitamin C that delivers powerful antioxidant protection without causing irritation. This ingredient neutralises free radicals, brightens skin tone, supports collagen synthesis, and helps reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation whilst working synergistically with other antioxidants.

Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E): A lipid-soluble antioxidant that protects cell membranes from oxidative damage and reinforces the skin's natural defence mechanisms. Vitamin E provides moisturising benefits whilst working synergistically with Vitamin C to enhance overall antioxidant efficacy and photo-protection.

Glutathione: A master antioxidant naturally produced in the body that plays a crucial role in cellular defence against oxidative stress. In skincare, glutathione helps neutralise free radicals, supports skin detoxification processes, and contributes to a brighter, more even complexion.

ELIX-IR™ (Knotgrass Extract): A specialised botanical extract rich in flavonoids that provides targeted protection against the damaging effects of infrared radiation (IR). This innovative ingredient helps prevent IR-induced collagen degradation and supports the skin's natural defence mechanisms against heat-related oxidative stress.

Physavie® (Physalis Angulata Extract): An advanced plant-derived extract that shields skin from the harmful effects of both infrared radiation and high-energy visible (HEV) light, commonly known as blue light. This protective ingredient helps mitigate the oxidative stress and inflammation caused by modern environmental aggressors including digital device exposure.

Exo-P™ (Alteromonas Ferment Extract): An exopolysaccharide derived from marine microorganisms that functions as a biomimetic shield against particulate matter from pollution. This innovative ingredient creates a protective film on the skin's surface, preventing pollutant adhesion and reducing the inflammatory response triggered by urban environmental stressors.

FAQ

Q: Can I use Clear Shield SPF 30 if I have acne-prone or oily skin? A: Absolutely. Clear Shield is specifically formulated for oily, acne-prone, and blemish-prone skin types. The non-comedogenic formula won't clog pores, and the advanced oil-control technology helps absorb excess sebum whilst maintaining essential hydration. Many of our clients with acne-prone skin find Clear Shield to be their preferred daily sunscreen as it provides protection without exacerbating breakouts.

Q: What's the difference between Clear Shield SPF 30 and other AlumierMD sunscreens? A: Clear Shield is uniquely formulated for oily and blemish-prone skin with oil-control technology, whilst AlumierMD's Sheer Hydration range is designed for normal to dry skin with additional moisturising benefits. Clear Shield also features the latest innovations in pollution protection and blue light defence. Our skincare experts can help you determine which formula best suits your specific skin concerns and needs.

Q: Do I need to reapply this sunscreen throughout the day? A: Yes, for optimal protection, sunscreen should be reapplied every two hours during extended sun exposure, or immediately after swimming, washing, towel drying, or heavy perspiring. If you're working indoors and not exposed to direct sunlight, morning application is typically sufficient. However, remember that UVA rays penetrate through windows, so reapplication is beneficial even for office environments.

Q: Can I wear makeup over Clear Shield SPF 30? A: Yes, Clear Shield's quick-drying, lightweight formula layers beautifully under makeup without pilling or creating a greasy base. Allow the sunscreen to fully absorb for 2-3 minutes before applying foundation or other makeup products. The soft-touch finish creates an ideal canvas for makeup application.

Q: Will this sunscreen leave a white cast on my skin? A: No, Clear Shield utilises micronised mineral filters that blend seamlessly into the skin without leaving a white cast. The formula has been specifically developed to provide comprehensive mineral protection with a clear, natural finish suitable for all skin tones.

Q: How long will it take to see results from using Clear Shield? A: The protective benefits are immediate upon application, shielding your skin from UV damage, pollution, and environmental stressors from day one. Over time, with consistent daily use, you'll notice improved skin clarity, reduced oiliness, and better overall skin health as the antioxidant complex and Niacinamide work to prevent oxidative damage and strengthen your skin's natural barrier function. Most clients observe visible improvements in skin texture and tone within 4-6 weeks of regular use.

Q: Is this sunscreen suitable for sensitive skin? A: Yes, Clear Shield is formulated with gentle, mineral-based filters that are less likely to cause irritation compared to chemical sunscreens. The formula is free from common irritants including artificial fragrances, parabens, and harsh chemicals. However, as individual sensitivities vary, we recommend conducting a patch test before first use and speaking to our experts if you have specific concerns about your skin's reactivity.
