Single-Filter Sun Protection. Rebuilt for Oily Skin
Powered by Bemotrizinol
Bemotrizinol
The world's safest chemical UV filter, and the first and only to meet FDA safety standards in 26 years. Unlike older filters that absorb into your bloodstream, bemotrizinol stays on your skin where it belongs. Photostable, broad spectrum, effective without breaking down.
Formula Base & Texture System
The lightweight gel-crème uses a coconut-derived emollient and polymeric gelling system instead of a rich lotion base, creating a light, non-greasy feel suited to oily and acne-prone skin.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
No. Safescreen® Sheer contains no mineral UV filters such as titanium dioxide or zinc oxide, so there is no particulate white or grey cast.
-
Safescreen® Sheer uses the same UV filter as Safescreen® NexGen, with a safety profile that supports use during pregnancy and nursing.
-
It depends on your skin. Oily and combination-oily skin can apply Sheer directly onto cleansed skin. Dry or dehydrated skin should use a lightweight moisturiser underneath.
-
Yes. Its sheer, non-greasy finish is designed to sit comfortably under makeup without pilling. Allow it to settle for 10 to 15 minutes before applying makeup.
-
A mild tingling sensation for 5–10 seconds immediately after application is expected and should settle on its own as the formula sets.
-
Reapply every 2–3 hours with continued sun exposure and after swimming, heavy sweating or towel-drying.
-
SPF and UVA protection were retested in vivo after water exposure, rather than only being tested on dry skin.
-
Yes. Safescreen® Sheer is formulated specifically for oily and acne-prone skin, with a lightweight gel-crème texture that doesn't bring the richness of a traditional sunscreen lotion.
-
Yes. The sheer gel crème formula blends through facial hair without the visible particulate residue mineral UV filters can leave behind.
-
No. It is fragrance-free.
-
It is not the ideal fit. Its lightweight gel-crème is designed primarily for oily and acne-prone skin. For very dry or eczema-prone skin, Safescreen® NexGen may be the better choice.
-
PPD measures how well a sunscreen protects against UVA rays, linked to tanning and pigmentation. A higher PPD means stronger protection. Safescreen Sheer's PA ++++ rating reflects this level of UVA defence, confirmed through in vivo testing.
