Overview

Product Details

EPICUTIS Lipid Shield is a daily-use, tinted mineral sunscreen formulated with non-nano zinc oxide for SPF 30 protection - without compromise on skin health or ingredient integrity.

At the heart of the formula is proprietary IPC technology, developed at Princeton University. This breakthrough complex helps reduce UV-induced redness and inflammation, minimises the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and protects against collagen breakdown for skin that is defended from the inside out.

Complementing this is a carefully chosen blend of soothing, antioxidant-rich botanicals. Bisabolol, a naturally derived compound from chamomile, calms and relieves irritated skin. Dipotassium Glycyrrhizinate, sourced from liquorice root, helps reduce redness and promote a more even skin tone. Aloe Vera Extract delivers lasting hydration and antioxidant defence, supporting the skin barrier and aiding recovery after sun exposure.

Free from chemical UV filters, preservatives and harsh additives, Lipid Shield is EWG Verified and represents a cleaner, smarter approach to everyday sun protection.

Key Benefits

Broad-Spectrum UV Protection 21% non-nano zinc oxide sits on the skin's surface to physically deflect both UVA and UVB rays without penetrating the skin or disrupting hormones.

Collagen Integrity Preserved TSC Technology, developed at Princeton University, works at a cellular level to reduce UV-induced oxidative stress that breaks down collagen over time, helping skin hold its structure longer.

Inflammation and Redness Calmed Bisabolol and dipotassium glycyrrhizinate are both recognized for their ability to quiet post-sun inflammation and visible redness, making this an especially smart pick for sensitive or reactive skin.

Skin Barrier Nourished Shea butter, argan oil, sunflower seed oil, squalene, and beta-sitosterol work together to replenish lipids and reinforce the skin barrier so moisture stays in and irritants stay out.

Antioxidant Defense Added Tocopherol (vitamin E) neutralizes free radicals generated by UV and environmental exposure, giving your skin an extra layer of protection beyond what zinc oxide alone provides.

Key Ingredients

  • Zinc Oxide: A natural mineral that provides physical sun protection against UVA and UVB rays, while absorbing oils and offering additional skin-soothing properties.
  • TSC (Disodium Tetramethylhexadecenyl Succinoyl Cysteine): A breakthrough super-lipid that strengthens the skin’s natural barrier while providing powerful protection against environmental stressors like UV rays and pollution.
  • Licorice Root Extract: Brightening and anti-inflammatory agent that balances skin tone and helps inhibit hyperpigmentation.
  • Bisabolol: Skin-soothing agent with anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties.
  • Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract: Moisturizes, soothes, and softens the skin, while calming inflammation and reducing redness.
