Lipid Shield
Lipid Shield SPF 30 is a daily, tinted mineral sunscreen made with non-nano zinc oxide as its only UV filter, providing SPF 30 protection while helping support skin health.
It features TSC, Epicutis's proprietary IPC technology developed at Princeton University, which the brand says helps reduce the look of redness from UV exposure, minimize the look of fine lines and wrinkles and protect against collagen breakdown.
Bisabolol from chamomile calms, dipotassium glycyrrhizinate from licorice root helps reduce the look of redness and even tone, and aloe vera adds hydration and antioxidant defense. It's free of chemical UV filters.
Why We Chose It
At Crafted Beauty, we look for mineral sunscreens that care for skin while they protect it. Lipid Shield stood out because it pairs zinc-oxide-only protection with Epicutis's calming TSC technology and soothing botanicals, with a tint that wears easily. It's a thoughtful choice for sensitive, redness-prone skin and for anyone who wants a mineral-only SPF.
